On January 16, it was reported that Apple has been developing a new generation of iPad Pro, which will be released this spring. The company may also be developing a 5G tablet computer, which is expected to be released later this year.

DigiTimes quoted supply chain news that Taiwan's semiconductor engineering companies are preparing to provide packaged antenna technology for the upcoming 5G tablet computer. The source did not disclose the specific model, but because the cost of 5G is higher, it must be the high-end iPad Pro version.

It is reported that this high-end iPad Pro uses mmWave frequency band instead of sub-6GHz 5G. This may be because the former can provide faster network speed in a shorter distance, which is very suitable for use in densely populated urban areas. The latter has a slower network speed, but has a wider coverage, which is more suitable for rural areas. Apple may think that the utilization rate of iPad Pro in rural areas is not so high.

DigiTimes believes that the 5G iPad Pro will be released sometime in the second half of this year, possibly at the same time as the 5G iPhone. The author believes that this iPad Pro may also be launched at the end of October, because the previous generation of iPad Pro was released on October 30, 2018.

The 5G iPad Pro should be the one that Guo Mingxuan, a well-known Apple analyst, talked about in December last year. He said that this tablet computer will debut with a 12.9-inch mini LED screen equipped with an A14X processor.

The rendered images of the new 11 inch and 12.9 inch iPad Pro previously exposed show that their front faces are almost the same as the previous generation products, but the back cameras have been upgraded to three, and the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max also have three rear cameras.
