iPad Pro

Taiwanese media DigiTimes reports that Apple is developing an iPad that supports 5G of millimeter wave (mmWave).

Release date of 5G compatible iPad is unknown

According to DigiTimes, antenna-in-package technology for the 5G-enabled iPad will be supplied by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering in Taiwan. Since the production cost will be further increased to make the device compatible with 5G, the possibility that the iPad Pro which is a high-end model will be 5G compatible is considered to be rich.

The 5G-compatible iPhone is expected to be released in the fall of 2020, but there is no mention of the release date for the 5G-compatible iPad at this time.

Normally, the new features will be installed on the iPhone before the iPad, but before the iPhone 5 released in September 2012, as the 3rd generation LTE compatible iPad was released in March 2012, There are exceptions.

5G has two types of frequency bands, “millimeter wave (mmWave)” and “sub-6GHz (sub-6GHz),” but in December last year, a renowned analyst Min Chi Kuo said that Apple In countries and regions that do not support the technology, the company has announced that it will either disable 5G features on non-millimeter waves or reduce the penetration of 5G and keep the price of the device low.

Rumors that the next iPad Pro will be equipped with a TOF sensor

Korean media ET News has just reported that the iPad to be released in the first half of 2020 will be equipped with a TOF sensor capable of high-definition 3D recognition.

If the ET News reports are correct, the TOF sensor will be installed on the iPad before the iPhone.

The TOF sensor is a sensor that measures the exact distance and positional relationship by measuring the time when light is reflected back to the surrounding objects and returns, and it is said that it can accurately measure the space around 5 m around, so it is expanded It is expected to be used for reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
