Apple, Face ID and TrueDepth Camera also coming on new-generation iPad
The new unlock with face recognition introduced with iPhone X will also come with the next generation of iPad next year. The indiscretion on the Face ID comes from KGI, which provides for the arrival of the TrueDepth Camera.
Face ID as we know it on iPhone X will also come on the new iPad. This is what KGI Securities said at the hands of the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who assured that the arrival of the TrueDepth Camera on the biggest iPads is just a matter of time. What has so far been seen on the iPhone X will most likely be replicated on the iPad and the ability to have a tablet with even wider display and especially without the physical Home button will become increasingly possible.
The success, for now on paper, the new iPhone X could push Apple to make an iPad on the false line of the new iPhone ” borderless “. In this case, it is clear that in the past the Cupertino company has shown new technologies first on iPhone and then brought them on the iPad. The Touch ID is the most striking example, and it seems possible that the Face ID can actually land on top of the tablet made in Cupertino, trying to ” revolutionize ” this aspect of the great devices so loved by users.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the desire to bring the Face ID on the iPad would have the aim to standardize the user experience of users who clearly would find on one side with an iPhone X working only with a gesture, without any type of Home key and with an unlock via TrueDepth Camera on the other an iPad with the classic key and unlock via Touch ID.
The analyst is also keen to highlight the possibility that an important photographic section will be implemented on the new iPad capable of ” venting ” Augmented Reality that Apple is strongly advertising also towards the developers to whom the new ARKit has been released for indulge in increasingly original and useful applications.
Finally an interesting note on the fact that Apple will introduce in the future other iPhone with Face ID. Clearly, the prospect is to expand its smartphone offering with this original feature to gain the greatest advantage over other competitors who, we have seen, are not able to replicate this technology in their devices.
