The presence or not of the U1 chip in IP Pro (2020) continues to generate news. For now, we hope that it will. Because John Gruber revealed last Monday what any other Apple contact had told him. And it left no room for doubt: The U1 chip is not in the 2020 iPad Pro.
There is no reason to believe in the "secret" U1 chip
There is no reason to believe that the iPad Pro has a secret U1 chip. (…) I also assured you with a small bird that I would definitely know the answer: there is no U1 chip in the new Apple Pro, and if it had, Apple would have told us.
An illogical answer to end the debate. And this is where Gruber puts it on the table debating the existence of the U1 chip in the Pro version. In particular, they are the following:
Six arguments against the existence of the U1 chip. Ideally, just mention the iOS 13.4 code, which is like nothing else. In this way, it is touched and burned. It would make no sense for Apple hide his face device and can use it. However limit the progress of file transfer by AirDrop.
Throwing in with the Apple Pro to strike 2020
The installation of the U1 chip would have required a rewrite of the board of the A12Z Bionic processor. As we know, the A12Z Bionic is a small variation of the 2018 A12 Bionic with source for additional image
Typically, Apple has released a few updates to the Mac models the same year. To separate them, he calls them in the morning, in the center either to strike, referring to the time of year when they come out, whether at the beginning, middle or end. With the iPad, as we have seen recently, the same thing happened in 2012 with the release of the iPad 3 and iPad 4.
Obviously, there is nothing official about it. The only thing about the hypothetical iPad Pro later this year is rumors. Rumors are putting the Pro with the A14X in the form of 5G and a mini-LED screen. Certainly, there is much progress in announcing them a few months later current model. Although its major offerings are focused on the dual camera and LiDAR sensor, it leaves the processor off-limits.
Be it when it's the next update for the iPad, what's sure to include the U1 chip or its handler, eliminating this little disappointment.
