BGR: Apple will refresh iPad Pro with Face ID and launch later this year

According to a recent report by analyst Rosenblatt Jun Zhang, Apple's new iPad Pro will be ejected physical Home button like the iPhone X. Instead, this tablet will use the technology of mold recognition Face Face ID for authentication.
In fact, this information is no surprise, as Apple has tended to be consistent in designing the top devices. Also, some recent code snippets discovered in the iOS 11.3 beta show that some of the TrueDepth camera hints will appear on upcoming iPad models.

Zhang predicts that Apple is developing the next-generation iPad Pro and will be available before the end of Q2. This information may be based on Apple's introduction of the Pro version 10.5 inch at WWDC in June last year.

In the second quarter of 1818, Zhang estimates that iPad sales will fall to between 16 million and 18 million, with between 6 and 8 million units equipped with Face ID.

However, the new iPad Pro will not use the OLED screen on the iPhone X but still loyal to the LCD. The reason is that OLED screens are expensive and Samsung (the main screen supplier for Apple) has trouble making mass-produced OLED displays.

Finally, the expert added that: By the end of this year, Apple will introduce a smaller and more affordable HomePod.

Zhang also predicts iPhone X sales will be lower than Apple's. A recent Piper Jaffray survey found that many users do not want to buy the iPhone X because it is too expensive.
