After the launch of the new iPhone X, the question we all ask ourselves is when will an iPad without frames? Apple has always been known for bringing technological advancements first to the iPhone, its flagship product, but shortly after bringing it to the iPad. This happened with Touch ID, for example, and the normal thing is that it happens with the new design without frames of the iPhone, as well as other features such as Face ID or the absence of a home button.
As published by Bloomberg, The new iPad with an iPhone X-style design will arrive in 2018, and will be from the Pro range. Apple plans to do without the home button and add the famous (although not by all beloved) "eyebrow" at the top, so we would have an iPad with hardly any frames. It would be the first major design change since 2015, when the iPad Pro debuted in its new size.
This new iPad Pro would have many features similar to those of the iPhone X, but not the screen, which would remain LCD. The fact that only Samsung offers sufficient guarantees to manufacture quality OLED screens, the technical difficulties that this type of screen supposes in the size of the iPad and also compatible with the Apple Pencil, and the price of the same would be the main impediments for this change comes in 2018.
In addition to the design change and new features of the iPad Pro, Bloomberg also adds that there will be a new Apple Pencil, as well as new tools to use. At this point we do not know if this Apple Pencil will work with previous iPads, or if the current pencil will work with the iPad Pro 2018. When would we see this new tablet? According to the same sources, it will be after the summer of 2018, probably in September. The current iPad Pro was introduced in June of this year, so it would be more than a year until the next.
I like that they go that way, the Iphone and Ipad without frames are prettier, actually any screen without frames is prettier.
