The new iPad Pro 2018 might get on with USB Type C connectivity, FaceID and even without a start button, according to a source on the 9to5mac.
According to 9to5mac, sources near Apple have revealed important information about the iPad Pro 2018, such as that it removes the start button just like the iPhone and integrates a new C-type USB port that allows sharing 4K videos with external screens.

This filtration confirms the information that analyst Ming Chi Kuo revealed just over a month ago, where he points to this USB C port that would replace the flash port.
That’s what the analyst said back then:
“In addition to Face ID compatibility, we expect the major update of the new iPad Pro models to include Lightning’s replacement with a USB-C interface and integration with a new 18W adapter that overrides the removable plug design…”.
Like Ming Chi Kuo, 9to5mac also points out the integration of FaceID, which uses the same technology as the new iPhone XS, so it works in both portrait and landscape mode.
Apple removes Adware Doctor from the AppStore after determining that it is collecting data from users without consent.
But that’s not all, as the source also says that the new iPad Pro is equipped with two WiFi models, two LTE versions in two sizes and an edge-to-edge screen, which is certainly new to these Apple devices.
The new iPad Pro will feature a new magnetic accessory port, including a new smart keyboard.
The report also informs that the Apple Pencil will be renewed, it is expected that this accessory will be launched along with the iPad, and it is rumored that it can now be connected to devices such as the AirPod and HomePod via a proximity switch.
But this has not been confirmed by Apple, so we will have to wait for the next few weeks for the company to make this disclosure.
