Jun Zhang (Rosenblatt) just announced that we could have a new iPad Pro in a few months at the Worldwide Developers Conference that Apple would hold the first week of June in San Jose.
This new iPad Pro would have thinner edges and would do without Touch ID and button Home, which would be replaced by the Face ID and the gestures of the iPhone X.
Since the release of the iPhone X, and its radical change in design, there has been talk of what an "iPad X" would mean. I think the device The one I would get the most out of if I had Face ID would be a Mac, but just behind would be the iPad. Holding it, on many occasions, with two hands, Face ID is a much more comfortable way of unlocking the iPad.
The rumored size of this new iPad Pro would be two, 10,5 and 12,9 inches, definitely leaving 9,7.
Although the iPad would be spectacular - we would be talking about that iPad "all screen" -, Face ID has some limitations that I think are opposed to the use we give to the iPad.
For example, a family can share the same iPad and have each put their finger on Touch ID. This will not be possible with Face ID which, in Apple's words, only accepts one face because it is not intended to be used by multiple people.
It is possible that Face ID brings news in this regard or, more than Face ID itself, iOS 12 brings news and the long-awaited possibility of having several accounts on the same iPad. But if the iPad Pro is a rumor, this is a dream.
The rumor has jumped along with the already known rumor of other HomePod models that is reinforced, and with the new rumor of a possible red iPhone X, as in its day the iPhone 7 wore.
Fortunately, we don't have much left to see the Keynote inaugural WWDC and clear up the rumors. Also, there is still time to Keynote in March, although the rumored product for this occasion was an iPad.
