Apple recently released their first beta of iOS 12.2 and now some new devices have been discovered in the software. Developer Steve Troughton Smith has discovered references to new iPads and also a new iPod.
We recently heard that Apple would be launching a new iPod Touch, references to this device have been discovered with the model identifier 9,1, this is most likely the new iPod we heard about recently.
There are also references to four new iPads, these are listed as the iPad 11,1, iPad 11,2, iPad 11,3 and iPad 11,4. These are for both the WiFi only and cellular models of Apple’s iPad, we presume these are for the new entry level iPad.
It is not clear as yet on what upgrades the entry level iPad will come with, whether or not it will feature Apple’s Face ID technology remains to be seen.
In theory, iOS 12.2 references four new iPads in WiFi & Cellular variants (perhaps mini, and 9.7″?), all without Face ID, and a (seventh-gen?) iPod touch with no Touch ID nor Face ID pic.twitter.com/xiJN6kmmTe
