Apple is still involved in its plans to roll out 5G technology in its devices, which for now is only tangible in the iPhone 12. A new DigiTimes article indicates that the next iPad Pro will not only carry 5G , But will equip a 5G modem manufactured by Apple.
This would allow Cupertino to stop relying on third-party vendors like Qualcomm, with whom we have already seen legal disputes. Apple 5G modem would support mmWave technology, which would bring transfers greater than Gigabit per second under ideal conditions.
Towards the next steps in 5G adoption
This mmWave technology is only present on the US iPhone 12 today, but over time the 5G infrastructure will grow and it’s a matter of time before we can all use this technology. An iPad prepared for her would help her adopt. This same modem, by the way, would also eventually be integrated into the iPhone 13.
Now what brings more confusion in the rumors is the launch date of this iPad Pro as previous rumors were talking about early 2021 while now the predictions are delaying it. around the second half of this year. It would ship a MiniLED or OLED display, and it is not difficult to deduce that it would benefit from an improved version of the A14 chip which could well be called A14X if Apple continues its tradition.
