2018 Update of Apple iPad Pros set to go edge to edge & not to have the headphone jack anymore

Recently there were reports on how the next Apple ipad is going to look and if reports are accurate, the 2018 12.9-inch and 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pros will go bezel-less. Based on the reports these iPad Pros will also be getting the Face ID feature and will be ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack. Expected to be unveiled this September.

A report by Japanese site Macotakara says both the 10.5 and 12.9-inches of the iPad Pro will be getting some bezel trimming making them resemble the edge-to-edge display of the iPhone X. Macotakara quotes supplier sources who say that the 10.5-inch iPad Pro dimensions (H x W x T) will be reduced from 250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1 mm to 247.5 x 178.7 x 6 mm while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be getting a trim from 305.7 x 220.6 x 6.9 mm to 280 x 215 x 6.4 mm. Additionally, there will be two microphones at the top and the reduced dimensions mean that the 3.5 mm headphone jack will be ditched for a Lightning-to-3.5 mm adapter. However, it is doubtful whether such an adapter will be provided with the package. These iPad Pros will also be getting the Face ID feature and will be ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The new iPad Pros are expected to be unveiled this September alongside a host of new refreshes including the new iPhones, MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, a larger Apple Watch, and new AirPods.
