New iPad Pro chip, A14X, may have been revealed in iOS 14.5 beta

iOS 14.5 hasn't even been officially released yet, but its beta version is already bringing some news about the future of Apple. It was recently discovered that in the operating system code there are citations of a chip A14X, which has not yet been announced, is suspected to be present in the next iPad Pro.

On iPhone 12 Apple launched the A14 Bionic chip, the X or Z version of the processors are usually the one that comes with the Pro version of the company's tablet. At the end of last year, iPad Air has already introduced the new chip, coming equipped with the standard A14. The Pro, which came out in early 2020, came with the A12Z (the A12X came in the 2018 Pro).

With that, it's safe to say that the A14X is the chip expected to be used in the next iPad Pro. Despite the name, the report 9to5Mac says that the new chip should be based on the M1, the company's first proprietary processor. Apple released for MacBook last year.

New functions

The A14X codename mentioned in the iOS 14.5 beta is 13G, a nomenclature that doesn't officially exist. The website confirms that this is the term used to refer to the new chip, just as the new iPad Pro lineup is called J517, J518, J522, and J523. There's still no explanation for the difference between these models.

In any case, it shouldn't be long before the new iPad Pro is officially revealed. The tablet is expected to appear now in April, after some delays, with a 12,9-inch screen with Mini LED technology.

A Apple may also incorporate new internal technologies into the new iPad Pro, such as Thunderbolt connectivity, which is faster and more powerful and has already been deployed in testing. Finally, in addition to the iPad Pro, it is expected that Apple is developing a thinner and lighter iPad for release later this year, as well as an iPad mini update with a larger display.
