The operation of Face ID on the iPad, according to this piece of code, it will be similar to how it does on iPhones:
1 - Lift the iPad. 2 - Lift and rotate the iPad to put it vertically. 3 - Turn the iPad to put it vertically. 4 - Face ID must be vertical for the first recognition. Once the Face ID is configured, it will work in both vertical and horizontal modes. 5- You can configure it later in settings.
This piece of code makes it clear that it is a iPad with Face ID. This piece of code does not mention the acronym "Pro", so apparently we are facing a basic "iPad".
First big changes since its launch
The iPad Pro was launched for the first time in October 2015 and he has only had one update in June 2017since the launch, the iPad has not evolved much and has remained with the initial concept of this terminal. The recent rumors that revolve around the iPad Pro indicate a very important generation leap for the apple device.
At the moment only aspects of the hardware of these new devices are known.
This incorporation of Face ID force the disappearance of the fingerprint sensor (Touch ID) and the obvious reduction of screen frames.
The rumoners suggest that will have a USB-C connector, which is designed to connect to external screens.
This version of the iPad will incorporate the Bionic A12X processor.
