Overview of the Latest iPad Pro Specifications
Apple has introduced a new variant of the iPad Pro featuring a compact display. The iPad Pro 10.5-inch WiFi runs on iOS 10, equipped with an LED backlit, fully laminar Multi-Touch Retina display offering a resolution of 2224 x 1668 pixels at 264 PPI. It boasts features such as Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, True Tone, ProMotion technology, wide color support, and anti-reflective coating. Powered by the cutting-edge A10X Fusion chip, it provides 30% faster CPU and 40% improved graphics performance compared to previous models.
The device is available in three storage options: 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB, along with 4GB RAM. It includes a 12MP rear camera with features like Autofocus, 4K video recording, Slow Motion, and more. The front-facing camera is a 7MP FaceTime HD camera, perfect for video calls.
The iPad Pro features a 30.4Wh rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, supporting up to 10 hours of usage. Connectivity options include WiFi, Bluetooth, and Lightning port. For audio, it has dual microphones, four speakers with automatic sound adjustment, and sensors like Touch ID, gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, digital compass, and ambient light sensor. Available in Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, and Space Gray, this model combines premium design with powerful performance.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the 2018 iPad Pro lineup integrates Face ID facial recognition technology, initially seen in iPhones, bringing enhanced security and user experience. This feature is slated for the 12.9-inch and 10.5-inch iPad Pro models, not the budget versions. Unlike earlier models, the iPad Pro includes compatibility with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, though whether it will remove the home button remains unconfirmed.
Though often referred to as the 2018 models, these updates are expected to arrive in the near future, similar to previous release timelines. The new Face ID system may influence broader adoption among users and app developers alike, with potential for new depth-mapping features in various applications. Apple’s focus on security and user interface advancements continues as they transition from Touch ID to Face ID across devices.
Apple has documented the security of Face ID in detailed white papers, having debuted on the iPhone X. The technology is anticipated to be integrated into upcoming iPads, further defining the future of Apple’s visual and biometric security features.
