In 2021, Apple will release a fifth-generation tablet with connectivity. This was reported in a report by the industry publication DigiTimes.
Apple's vendors have been successful in designing and developing the AiP antennas required for fifth-generation communications, sources said. Analysts have learned that the company plans to launch a premium 5G tablet in 2021. The exact name of the device has not been disclosed, but journalists believe that it will be the iPad Pro – the most expensive tablet in Apple's lineup.
Sources have revealed that the new tablet will support 5G mmWave. This is a special frequency standard that is most suitable for receiving and transmitting data over short distances without losing quality at the highest speed. In comparison, the sub-6GHz standard is capable of transmitting traffic over long distances, but at the same time the data rate is reduced.
The current iPad Pro model was introduced in March. The tablet received a dual camera with lidar, which then appeared in the iPhone 12 series smartphones, and an updated keyboard.
Earlier, journalists who tested the iPhone 12 with 5G support talked about a serious flaw in the device. According to them, when transmitting data through the fifth generation communication standard, there is a serious load on the battery. According to the author of The Verge, when using 5G, the flagship battery was almost completely discharged in 2.5 hours.
