When will the new iPad Pro go on sale
4hw.com.cn: Recently, apple held another autumn conference and released 2018 new iPad pro and MacBook Air. The most discussed one is the iPad Pro released this time. Let's take a look at the configuration and price information of iPad pro.
There is no longer a home button on the front of the new iPad pro. The new iPad has a more square appearance and sharp lines, "similar to the iPhone 5 / 5S many years ago.". In fact, if you only look at the front, I think that the iPad with the same width border and large rounded screen is like the enlarged version of the apple watch 4.
The body of the new iPad is only 5.9mm thick, setting a new record for the iPad. In addition, in order to absorb Apple pencil more firmly, the contact position of the original smart keyboard is also moved to the back of the fuselage.
The new iPad's screen is still LCD, not AMOLED. This screen is the same as the LCD screen of the iPhone XR, but the resolution is much higher. The 11 inch iPad Pro has a resolution of 2388 x 1668 and 264 PPI; The 12.9-inch iPad Pro has a resolution of 2732 x 2048 and 264 PPI.
After canceling the fingerprint home key, the new iPad uses face ID with structured light technology and also supports animoji. And the face ID unlock pose of the new iPad includes vertical and horizontal directions. A series of full screen gestures from the iPhone X series have also come to the iPad pro.
The iPad Pro camera is roughly similar to the iPhone 8. Rear 12 megapixel camera, & fnof/ 1.8 aperture; Front 7 megapixel camera, & fnof/ 2.2 aperture.
The new iPad uses USB type-C interface, which makes it easier for iPad users to connect devices such as monitors or cameras, and even charge iPhones with iPad pro. The only pity is that the new iPad Pro also cancels the 3.5mm headphone connector.
The iPad Pro uses USB type-C, which may be a sign that the iPhone is going to use type-C, too.
Although I had prepared for the strong performance of iPad pro, when a12x bionic chip appeared, the audience was still surprised.
A12x bionics has reached an extreme in stacking: 10 billion transistors, 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU. The single core performance of CPU is 35% higher than the previous generation, and the multi-core performance is 90%; Its graphics processing capacity is twice as much as that of the previous generation and 1000 times as much as that of the early generation.
The price of the new MacBook Air is still very high. Even with this outdated configuration, the starting price of the new MacBook Air is still 9499 yuan, and the price of the high configuration version is more than 10000 yuan, 11099 yuan.
Release date: until Apple officially announced.
