iPad Pro 2020: price and release
Here comes the iPad Pro 2020!
Apple has officially released the new iPad Pro. It has a built-in LIDAR instead of a triple camera. We are here to introduce you to the new iPad Pro 2020 in detail. Here you can also find more information about the price of the iPad Pro.
iPad Pro 2020 vs. iPad Pro 2018: What's the difference?
The main differences between the two generations of iPads can now be found on the back of the tablet, just like the iPhone models. Both the 11.1-inch model and the 12.9-inch version now have dual cameras with a wide-angle lens [12 megapixel resolution] and a new ultra-wide-angle lens [10 megapixel resolution]. . In this sense, pre-traded triple cameras do not exist. Other technical differences between the two generations of iPad are:
- A12Z Bionic instead of A12X Bionic CPU: Accurate benchmarking of the new SoC is still ongoing. Apple claims to have improved thermal management and overall performance.
- All models of the new iPad Pro have 6 GB of RAM. The predecessor must handle 4 GB of RAM. Only the top version with 1 TB of memory has 6 GB of RAM.
- Only the iPad Pro 2020 has a U1 chip.
What exactly does Lidar do?
The lidar built into the back of the iPad Pro 2020 is used to pinpoint objects in the room. You can use it to measure distances up to five meters outdoors and indoors. Apple will use this new sensor primarily in augmented reality [AR] applications. Of course, there will be specific application examples soon. The first step is to update the well-known tape measure app and equip it with new features.
Accessories: How about a magic keyboard? Is there a new Apple Pencil?
Apple has yet to launch a new Apple Pencil. Apple Pencil 2 is compatible with iPad Pro 2020. It is not included in the scope of delivery and must be purchased separately for € 140. Just like the previous model, it sticks magnetically to the edge of the tablet.
Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro

Apple has launched the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. It has illuminated buttons with scissors mechanism as they are also installed in the newly tested M acBook Air and MacBook Pro 16. In addition, the tilt angle can be continuously adjusted to 130 degrees. Magic Keyboard is also compatible with the 2018 generation iPad Pro and has a built-in trackpad. We are here to introduce you to the universal keyboard. We have already emphasized how to use the trackpad and cursor under iPadOS.
This is what the iPad Pro looks like at the rumored stage-what happened?
This is not to say that Apple did not launch a new iPad model in 2019. in contrast! After all, the new iPad mini and iPad Air brought two obvious surprises, and the manufacturer improved it with a 10.2-inch entry-level model. However, for the top model iPad Pro series, Apple obviously does not need to take any action.
iPad Pro is still very powerful
The reason may be the ready state of the 11.0 or 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The App Store with the A12X Bionic processor currently has no apps that can really make iPad sweat. In addition, Apple has introduced innovative technologies such as Apple Pencil 2, Face ID or USB C-Port in the latest iPad Pro series. Still, we miss something about the iPad Pro.
Three cameras, like iPhone 12?
In the fall of 2019, there are rumors that Apple will equip the next-generation tablet with a triple rear camera. Images of the prototype were also circulating on the Internet at this time.
One might argue about the use of a powerful flat camera. The camera upgrade on the new iPad Pro doesn't sound absurd. After all, the iPhone 11 Pro already has a triple camera on the back, and the iPhone 12 Pro is also talking about 3D modules and laser measurement.
Cupertino may also equip the next iPad Pro with a new camera with a ToF sensor. The latter should help to map AR applications more realistically. What makes sense for a smartphone seems logical, especially when combined with a large flat-panel display. In the spring of 2020, a report from Digitimes once again raised the argument that the iPad Pro will have the novelty of this camera even before the iPhone 12. And, if you need other proof: in the leaked iOS 14 code snippet, there is already a specific statement about the triple camera on the iPad Pro.
Design: New iPad Pro needs to be lighter
With the introduction of Face ID, the screen edges of the most expensive and best Apple tablets have been reduced to a minimum. In the next update, Apple may focus on another goal that seems to have been forgotten since the development of the first iPad Air: weight reduction.
By 2020, we expect two iPad Pro variants with a 11.0 or 12.9-inch display and Face ID. Weight reduction is especially useful for the large iPad Pro in everyday life. In this way, it is even possible to hold it permanently in your hand.
Think secure: 5G with mmWave support
As reported by Taiwanese industry publication Digitimes, Apple insiders are already working on a version of the iPad Pro with a built-in 5G module. Similar to the iPhone 12 Pro model, high-end tablets should support the particularly fast mmWave standard.
iPad OS builds a bridge to macOS
You may have noticed that the iPad is not running iOS for the time being, but running iPadOS. With features like Sidecar, Apple can obviously bridge the gap with macOS and MacBook. For a long time, this was absolutely excluded.
In this case, what the iPad Pro still lacks is the Apple keyboard, which also fits this fact perfectly. Specifically, we need to keep trackpad in mind here. Accessory manufacturers like Brydge are jumping into the void and have already offered accessory keyboards with integrated trackpads. Maybe she will also introduce Apple in the new product launch, while considering the new storage with Apple Pencil 2.
Apple's two new iPad keyboards
According to "Taiwan DigiTimes", Apple will also launch a new accessory keyboard and a new iPad Pro model. This new smart keyboard can eliminate two disadvantages of the current generation. According to the report, on the one hand the button should be lit. Apple, on the other hand, will use the scissors mechanism to switch to keys known to the MacBook Pro 16.
At the end of February, "Information" also reported that Apple plans to launch a new smart keyboard case and a new generation iPad Pro. Manufacturers have worked for years on this. As Information wrote, the smart keyboard has a touchpad. Putting these two reports together, you can think of a smart keyboard with illuminated keys and a built-in trackpad. Trackpad support appears in a leaked iOS 14 code snippet. In addition, US websites such as 9to5Mac report that Apple will introduce two smart keyboards for the new iPad Pro-one with a built-in keyboard and one without a built-in trackpad.
A14X Bionic SoC and storage
Apple is most likely to install its self-developed system on the chip [SoC] A14 in the iPhone 12, so manufacturers should install A14X in their iPad Pro series. The SoC will be manufactured using a 5nm process. Apple still uses a 7-nanometer process for the A13X. Currently, we assume that Apple will not bring any major surprises in terms of storage this year, and the iPad Pro will still offer 64, 256, 512 GB and 1 TB of storage.
"A2229": New iPad Pro models appear in approval database
Apple devices [probably iPad Pro] appear in the Eurasian registration database under the number A2229. Usually, this is a very obvious signal that a new product is about to be released.
iPad Pro 2020: price and release
No deep predictions for the price of the new 2020 iPad Pro models. It is assumed that they will run in a framework similar to the two current variants. Here you have to pay € 879 for the iPad Pro 11 and at least € 1,099 for the iPad Pro 12.9. The maximum price range of the large iPad Pro is 1879 euros, and the top configuration of the small Pro model is 1659 euros.
Coronavirus: Is release delayed?
It is reported that due to the spread of the Corona virus, Apple will postpone or cancel plans to release keynotes for the iPhone SE 2 and iPad Pro. It's unclear what this might have on the release date. Apple may briefly introduce the new tablet in a press release. We will stay in touch with you here.
So far, Apple has not issued a specific invitation to deliver a keynote to introduce the new iPad Pro models. However, there are growing signs that Apple may hold a keynote in March 2020, when it will showcase the successor to the popular iPhone SE and the new iPad Pro variant. In the March 2016 keynote, the first iPad Pro version with a 9.7-inch display also debuted with the iPhone SE.
