New iPad. The new gorgeous iPad Pro is out! When is the new ipad 6 coming out?

So far my best buy this year. I mention him for the fourth time for a reason.

It is clear that Apple's strength lies in "innovations", flagship devices for a lot of money, which often have no analogues. But at the same time, it is this company that is capable of creating "Budget" gadgets with which it is impossible to compete.

iPad 2017 year () was one of them. A really chic, high-quality tablet that solved the tasks that ordinary people need from a tablet. Nothing superfluous, just entertainment, pleasure and work on the little things.

I almost bought it because I was disappointed with the previous one.

I abandoned the tablet a year ago, but wanted to return

My last iPad was the iPad mini 4. I sold it a year ago and never found a use for it.

Yes, he was good. Magically thin. But it began to affect too small if you already had an iPhone Plus. As a work gadget, it was not good, as an entertainment gadget - also so-so in comparison with a large iPhone or Mac. All because of the small display.

So he collected dust until a kind person bought it back.

On the same day, I went to the store for the iPad Pro. I took it in my hands, turned it over, looked at the cost. I thought and thought - and left.

Do I need a stuffed device to watch video clips from time to time?

Probably, No.

Now, if you could take almost this one, but cheaper, without killer technological bells and whistles - at the same time new, with Apple's commitment to maintain its performance for at least the next three years ...

This is exactly what became iPad 2017 for 24 thousand rubles... It has collected almost everything that Apple has come up with in the iPad line, including excellent battery life.

Yesterday, this iPad became better at the same price.

iPad 2018 is perfect for most, and me too

If you are a normal person and you need a tablet, take the iPad 2018.

Think: what do you really want to buy when buying a tablet? Chances are you are looking for a home bedside device. Or road. To lie until it is needed - and entertained in a simple way, when it comes his turn.

You don't need the ultra-modern iPad Pro 10.5 for this sort of thing. Enough iPad 2018, I'm serious. Go over its configuration with me.

It stands powerful processor A10 Fusion , able to "figure out" any task without any problems: from games to fashionable augmented reality. This is the “stone” that is installed in the iPhone 7, and even now it has no performance problems.

2 GB of RAM enough for multitasking and working with two windows at the same time. Not to mention mundane things like browsers, books or videos.

8 megapixel camera will save in those rare cases when you have to take a picture on this tray. The picture quality is normal and has not changed since the last generation. The front module lacks stars from the sky with its pitiful 1.2 megapixels - but it is enough for video calls.

Touch ID on the spot, though not very fast. And also headphone jack.

The tablet itself is thin and light (470 grams). Works real 10 hours, that is, all day from morning to evening without stopping. My MacBook Pro doesn't do that.

And, of course, I am glad to be able to use Apple Pencil: it makes the device more interesting for both children and creative adults. My wife loves to draw, she is awesome at it - and now she will do it freely with the best stylus on the best tablet. Which costs 3 times cheaper than the iPhone, let me remind you.

Just remember that Apple Pencil will need to be purchased separately, it costs about 6-7 thousand rubles, depending on the store.

I'm looking forward to the iPad 2018 sales. Are you with me?

All Apple gadget owners are familiar with this feeling. You stand in the store and think: maybe you can wait a little and buy the next generation? With the 2017 iPad, that's exactly the story. I wanted to take it, but I overpowered myself and decided to wait.

Now I understand that I did it for a reason. And the only disappointment after that was the fact that sales in Russia have not yet started.

Today I read with restraint my colleagues from the USA, they are similar to the comments of Apple fans on our website: they say, almost nothing has changed. They are right.

But my parents this morning typed and asked: is it good is this new iPad? Can I take it? After all, they don't need anything except movies, internet and music. For them, this device is ideal. And they are right.

We often forget that there are many more people like that than us technology fanatics. They're the ones who buy the iPhone 7 in 2018 or the iPhone SE because they don't bother. And at the same time they know what they need (benefit) and NOT need (bells and whistles and show-off).

We need to look more broadly: these people are driving Apple sales as much as we are in line for the iPhone X. And they are also largely right.

So, please, I have one black iPad 2018, and hurry up. Am I the only one?

Apple hasn't updated its tablets for a long time, which means that some iPad models are coming. And today, we'll talk about one of them - iPad Pro 2. Will there be a second version of the iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen? And what will the updated tablet be like? Let's take a look at it now.

Overall, the current iPad Pro 12.9 ″ is not bad in terms of performance and other features that Apple has equipped it with. This is not to say that the first version of the professional iPad is already outdated, because it contains the best mobile hardware in the industry! The tablet can handle any workload with a bang! And all thanks to the powerful quad-core A9X processor with 64-bit architecture. Those. in general, we can say that the first iPad Pro 12.9 ″ is still good and it is not necessary to change it, but this does not mean that Apple thinks so. Let's take a look at what the iPad Pro 2 will be like and when it comes out.

First of all, I want to note that the iPad Pro 2 will receive fresh and relevant more productive hardware, an updated display and an improved camera. What features will endow the iPad Pro 2 Apple is not yet known.

Display

In every new iPad, Apple puts a new display that is always brighter and more contrasty than its predecessor. Take even as an example. It features a new display that's brighter and more contrasty than the iPhone 6S display, and it used to feel like it couldn't be better than the iPhone 6S display. Likewise, the iPad Pro 2 will receive an updated Retina display with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels (264 ppi) with True Tone technology, which adjusts the display temperature to ambient light. The brightness and contrast will increase. Also, the iPad Pro 2 display will be covered with an oleophobic coating that prevents fingerprints.

Performance

The iPad Pro 2 will likely be powered by the new A10X quad-core processor with 64-bit architecture and 10nm process technology. Also, the A10X will accompany the M10 coprocessor. In addition to the processor, iPad Pro 2 can get as much as 6 GB of RAM! Let me remind you that the first version costs 4 GB. The memory in the iPad Pro 2 will be 32, 128 and 256 GB, depending on the model. Apple does not like to often increase the amount of permanent storage in new devices, so the iPad Pro 2 will remain the same.

Camera

iPad Pro 2 will feature a 12MP iSight 6-lens camera with autofocus and Focus Pixels technology. The aperture will change from ƒ / 2.2 to ƒ / 2.0, which will allow better photography in low light conditions. Also, the iPad Pro 2 camera will have improved noise reduction technology and optical image stabilization. Flash True Tone - 4 LEDs.

Video can be recorded in 4K format (3840 × 2160 pixels) at 30 fps, Full-HD - 1080p at 30 or 60 fps, and HD - 720p at 30 fps. Supports slow motion video at 1080p at 120fps or 720p at 240fps.

The FaceTime camera in iPad Pro 2 will get the same 5 MP, ƒ / 2.0 aperture, 1080p video recording and Retina Flash, which works by instantly blinking at maximum display brightness.

Power and battery

iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a larger lithium-polymer battery that will give the tablet up to 12 hours of Wi-Fi internet browsing and video or music playback. iPad Pro 2 will last 2 hours longer than the first model. This is a feature of the iPhone 7, which, according to Apple, should last longer than the iPhone 6S. Most likely, this technique will be taken into account in the production of iPad Pro 2.

Home button

Perhaps the iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a new non-mechanical Home button, as in the. She reads touches and perceives gestures. The second generation Taptic Engine vibration motor is responsible for the response. The button itself will have a third-generation Touch ID fingerprint scanner.

IPad Pro 2 Specifications

Display: Retina 12.9 inch
Processor: A10X, 10nm
RAM: 6 GB
Own memory: 32, 128, 256 GB
Camera: 12 MP, 6 lenses, f / 2.0 4K video recording
Battery: up to 12 hours of use on Wi-Fi
Communication: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, iBeacon, LTE

When iPad Pro 2 comes out

The previous version was released on September 9, 2015 and already, a year has passed. At the September 2016 presentation, we did not see the second version of the professional iPad, which means Apple is in no hurry to update this device so quickly. It is right, because the characteristics of the iPad Pro is still good, it calmly copes with any tasks assigned to it. Therefore, most likely, it will take at least two years for Apple to update the iPad Pro. So, most likely, the iPad Pro 2 release date is September 2017.

How much will the iPad Pro 2 cost

In the US, the iPad Pro 2 will be priced the same as the first model:

• iPad Pro 2 32GB Wi-Fi - $ 799
• iPad Pro 2 128GB Wi-Fi - $ 949
• iPad Pro 2 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular - $ 1,079

And the iPad Pro 1 will get cheaper. For $ 100 or $ 200.

The price of the iPad Pro 2 in Ukraine will start at UAH 26,000 for a junior model with 32 GB of memory and reach up to UAH 37,000 for a model with 256 GB of memory and a 4G network. In Russia, the prices for the iPad Pro 2 will be from 60,000 rubles to 90,000 rubles.

That's all that is known about the upcoming iPad Pro 2. For now, you can follow the news and rumors. Write in the comments what you would like to see in the new version of iPad Pro.

Apple has not changed the design of its iPad for a long time - if the model is in demand, then you should not resort to any changes. But after the overwhelming success of the iPhone X last year, it looks like the company is set to release an updated version of the iPad Pro “iPad X” in 2018.

Apple has not disclosed details of the new model, but some information is already starting to appear on the Internet. Most importantly, on the next-generation iPad, the Home button will be located in the same place as on the iPhone and will be integrated into the display.

It is not yet clear what place the iPad X will occupy in the tablet lineup, because Apple has three tablet models: iPad, iPad Pro and iPad mini.

IPad Pro 2018 release date (iPad X) in Russia (Sales start date)

The most recent iPad Pro models were announced last WWDC on June 5, 2017 and are available for purchase now. Of course, the next announcement should be expected this summer, but we hope that some additional information can be found in the usual spring press release: about the iPad mini 5, and the long-awaited one.

On February 21, the French-language website Consomac reported that Apple has registered two new devices, described as tablets running iOS 11, with the Eurasian Commission's database. The new model identifiers are A1954 and A1893.

This speaks to the imminent announcement of new models, similar to the information about the iPhone 7 and AirPods two weeks before the official release. The introduction of new models in March looks quite likely, but it is not fully known whether it will be a regular press release or a full-scale media event like in 2015 and 2016.

Sources cited by Bloomberg predict, on the other hand, that the new iPads will be released more than a year after the last iPad Pro update. Presumably, this will happen in late summer - early autumn, in August-September 2018. This could mean that the new models, which are expected to be released at the beginning of the year, will be less significant.

What's the price of the new iPad Pro 2018 (iPad X)?

The iPad X is likely to be an impressive gadget, but not cheap either.

IPad Pro 10.5-inch 64GB Wi-Fi starts at £ 619 and Wi-Fi + Cellular starts at £ 749 for the iPad Pro with 12.9-inch screen, 64GB of storage and Wi-Fi - £ 769 and £ 899 for the model with Wi-Fi + Cellular.

Even if the iPad X has a screen size of less than 12.9 inches, you can still expect it to cost closer to the premium model. The approximate price will start at £ 999.

Major design changes for the new 2018 iPad Pro (iPad X)

Apple is expected to bring some design changes to the iPhone X in 2018.

Bloomberg sources suggest that at least one of the new iPad models will feature a full-screen display and will move from Touch ID to Face ID.

The model will have a screen size close to 10.5 inches, but removing the home button will increase the screen size to 11 inches or keep the same by reducing the thickness of the bezel around the screen.

Presumably the screen will not be based on OLED. Perhaps this will happen due to the difficulties in production (and shortages in supplies) when creating screens for the iPhone X.

"Modern iPad"

Speculation about the emergence of the "modern iPad", which was supposedly already in development, appeared after the appearance of the code for the new operating system. Apple already used the definition of "modern iPad" before the iPhone X reports, primarily to differentiate gadgets with full-screen display and Face ID technology from other smartphones released at the same time.

The first photos of the concept iPad Pro 2018 (iPad X) appeared

It's too early to expect photos or factory shots of the new model, but concept drawings are available. It should be understood that the drawings are presented by people not affiliated with Apple and visualize rumors surrounding the design of the new model.

There are several illustrations of the next iPad Pro by Martin Hayek, which show the gadget with the expected full-surface screen, the missing home button and a groove around the screen. He also provided several illustrations of the Apple Pencil in black and silver.

IPad Pro 2018 Specifications and New Features (iPad X)

Let's take a look at the internal changes in the new iPad.

CPU

The latest iPad models are equipped with new A-series chips, which are based on the same architecture as the iPhones introduced last year. For example, the A10 chip integrated into the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus has 2 high-performance processor cores, 2 cores, a 6-core GPU, and 3GB of RAM.

Integrated into iPad Pro, the A10X has 3 high-performance processor cores, 3 cores, a 12-core GPU, and 4GB of RAM. Likewise, the new 2018 iPad models are expected to feature the A11X chip based on the A11 Bionic found in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.

Citing information from Apple suppliers, the Chinese website MyDrivers claims that the A11X chip will have three high-performance processor cores (2 for the A11), 5 cores (4 for the A11) and will be 7nm thick through TSMC's workflow. The A11 chip is 10 nm thick.

It goes without saying that the new chip will have more RAM and more GPU cores. It would be strange if this were not the case.

Should you buy the 2018 iPad Pro (iPad X)?

You must answer this question. Ask yourself the question, for what purpose do you need this iPad? Is this purchase promising and justified? If yes, then Apple technologies will be waiting for you in September of this year, on the counter of the nearest store.

The new iPad Pro tablet was officially unveiled at Apple's October 30 presentation. The tablet turned out to be an exact copy of the model from the iOS 12.1 code, received support for face recognition technology, which turned out to be even more advanced than in the flagship iPhones, a USB-C connector and a second generation Apple Pencil with gesture support.

The main feature of the iPad Pro that catches your eye when you first look at the tablet is, of course, its display. The stunning 11-inch and 12.9-inch IPS panel with striking bezels is a true admiration for the talent of Apple's engineers. But the main thing is that they managed to make the display absolutely symmetrical, despite the TrueDepth system, which is responsible for face recognition.

The heart of the tablet is the eight-core A12X Bionic processor. It is 90% faster than the previous generation, making it one of the most productive "stones" for personal computers.

Main materials

Apple's iPad Pro series tablets have truly succeeded in being a great replacement for the Air series. The new iPad Pro 2 models need to be upgraded, as Cupertinians usually do. The available tablets offer support for the Apple Pencil, a great 4x speaker system and more, but some things are still sorely lacking. For example, it would be nice to have a fingerprint scanner and a waterproof case.

The upcoming iPad Pro 2 series of devices will obviously get the faster A10X Fusion processor with four cores, but it is not known if the manufacturer will increase the amount of RAM. We hope that the specs of the new iPad Pro 2 will include 4GB of RAM. In addition to the 9.7 and 12.9-inch models, Cupertinos may introduce a third model with a 10.5-inch screen. All of them out of the box will run on the iOS 10 operating system.

• Apple A10X Fusion Processor (10nm)
• 12MP main camera and 5MP front camera
• 4K video recording, live photos
• OLED screen with True Tone technology
• 32 GB of internal memory in the minimum configuration
• New color - pink
• Fingerprint scanner (built-in screen)

Earlier rumors said that future devices will receive a touch-sensitive Home button, like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but now many experts are confident that Apple will abandon it altogether. Thus, the Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be integrated into the display. Moreover, there is a possibility that the company will also get rid of the 3.5mm audio jack, which would be logical given the recent releases of smartphones.

Most likely, the iPad Pro 2 is equipped with a USB Type-C connector so that it can be connected to the 2016 MacBook Pro.

Considering the fact that the original iPad Pro was announced in March of this year, its successor will be shown at the same time in 2017. There is no exact data, as in such cases companies such as Apple do not make early statements. we also cannot be sure that all three models will be announced at one presentation.

It's not hard to predict the cost of the next-generation American company's tablets. The price of iPad Pro 2 in the simplest configuration will not exceed 50 thousand rubles. This is roughly the price of the current iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and 32GB of internal storage. Obviously, the new 10.5-inch model will fill a fairly large gap between the other two devices, and its cost will also be average.
