This year, Apple went extra with the cameras on its phones. The iPhone 11 which succeeds the iPhone Xr has dual rear cameras while the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, successors to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max respectively, got an extra camera too. Sadly, Apple didn’t release a new iPad Pro this year, but leaked renders have revealed next year’s models are getting camera upgrades too.
The new iPad Pro models are rumored to be scheduled for a Spring 2020 launch and just like 2018’s models, we will be getting an 11-inch version and a 12.9-inch version. Popular leaker, Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) has shared renders of the two iPad Pro models.
The renders show the 2020 iPad Pro will have rounded corners and slim bezels. Both sizes will have three connector pins at the bottom of the rear. Steve says he is not sure about the material Apple will use for the rear which is why the renders show both a metal back and a glass back.
The images reveal the iPad Pro will be getting a major camera upgrade as they show both models have a triple rear camera setup just like that of the iPhone 11 Pro. This is a big upgrade from the single sensor of the 2018 edition.
The configuration should be the same as that of the iPhone 11 Pro, so a primary rear camera paired with a telephoto camera and an ultrawide camera. With the iPad Pro getting a similar camera configuration as the iPhones, we may see a reemergence of folks whipping out their tablets in public to take pictures or record videos.
Steve says the 11-inch model roughly measures 248 x 178.6 x 5.9 millimeters with the thickness going up to 7.8 millimeters when you add the camera bump. However, there are no dimensions for the 12-inch model.
There are speculations the new iPads will come with an A13x chipset. We also expect them to come with a new version of iPadOS. Will we get a 5G version? Most probably not.
