Ukuba kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo sikuxelele uqikelelo olwenziwe ngumhlalutyi uMing-Chi Kuo malunga ne-iPhone 7 entsha kunye ne-iPhone 8 kunyaka olandelayo, ngoku umhlalutyi ofanayo uzimisele ukuzenza kuluhlu lwe-Apple iPad. Ngokuka-Kuo, I-Apple iceba ukumilisela iPad Pro entsha enobungakanani obutsha besikrini kunyaka olandelayo, kwii-intshi ze-10,5., Ukugcina iimodeli ezikhoyo, zombini i-12,9-intshi kunye ne-9,7. Iimodeli ezintathu zePad Pro ezinezikrini ezifanayo? Ngaba i-Mini Mini isaya kuhlala kwiishelufa zika-Apple? Sikunika iinkcukacha ezingezantsi.
Silindele ii-iPads ezintathu ezitsha ngo-2017: imodeli eyi-12,9-intshi, imodeli ye-9,7-intshi, kunye nobukhulu obutsha be-10,5-intshi. Nangona oku kungayi kunceda ukukhulisa ukuthengiswa kwethebhulethi ka-Apple, ukuba i-iPad iyafumaneka kubungakanani be-intshi ye-10,5 inokubonakala kakuhle kwezorhwebo nakwicandelo lezemfundo. Zombini iimodeli ze-12,9 kunye ne-10,5-intshi ziya kwamkela iprosesa entsha ye-A10X, ebonelelwe ngokupheleleyo yi-TSMC ngetekhnoloji ye-10nm. Eyona "yexabiso eliphantsi" 9,7-intshi ye-iPad ngokuqinisekileyo iya kunamathela kwiprosesa ye-A9X, nayo yenziwe yiTSMC ngokukodwa.
U-Kuo ude abe nesibindi sokujonga ngakumbi kunye nokuqikelela Kunyaka olandelayo, i-2018, eqinisekisa ukuba iApple iyakusebenzisa utshintsho olubalulekileyo kuyilo lwe-iPad kwaye izikrini ziya kuba yi-AMOLED.

Ezi zikrini zintsha ziguquguqukayo ziya kukunceda ukuphucula intengiso yakho.
U-Kuo uphela ngokudibanisa ukuba akalindelanga ukuba kubekho iimodeli ezintsha kulo nyaka.Ke ngekhe kubekho mboniso uhambelana nePad kwi-Keynote ezayo kaSeptemba, into ekucacayo ukuba ayizukunceda ukuphucula ukuthengiswa kwethebhulethi kulo nyaka.
