Recent reports suggest that the new iPad will feature a robotic arm. According to Bloomberg, this gadget will arrive with a robotic limb and actuators meant to adjust the orientation of its screen. This feature is expected to respond to commands like “look at me,” enhancing user interaction.
A Taiwanese outlet called United Daily News fingered the maker as Foxconn. Foxconn will provide the robotic arm, making the company famous for churning out of Apple’s iPhones. Production will be managed by Hongzhun, which is a subsidiary experienced in the production of robotic components.
It could also run a modified version of the iPadOS, according to the same report. That contrasts earlier MacRumors claims that stated it would use tvOS. Now, with iPadOS mentioned, it suggests a UX quite different from what was originally expected.
Although these details are juicy enough, making them intriguing, it is important to be cautious in these kinds of leaks. There are some conflicting reports on the device’s software and hardware, which should be taken with a grain of salt. The final details are uncertain until the official announcements.
While the robotic arm and the modified iPadOS do integrate to give off a very promising vibe, it does not give any verified information at this point. It will have to wait for Apple to formally confirm the features once it finally arrives on the new iPad.
