Apple could bring one of the headline features of its iPhone X to its iPad Pro next year, according to a prominent technology analyst.

iPhone X doesn’t launch until next month, but we’re already starting to hear rumours about where the flagship smartphone’s new facial recognition system will end-up next.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Face ID system is being lined-up for the next refresh of the iPad Pro range.

Apple will incorporate its next-generation depth-sensing cameras to the productivity-focused tablets next year, the KGI Securities analyst has forecast.

Kuo is typically very reliable when it comes to information on unannounced Apple products, so it’s highly-likely Apple is actively looking into the possibility of Face ID on its iPad line-up.

Aside from the face-tracking capabilities of the TrueDepth camera system that powers Face ID, the decision to bring facial recognition to the iPad could be indicative of an iPhone X-style redesign for the tablet range.

Apple has already started to whittle away the bezels on the iPad Pro with the launch of the 10.5-inch model earlier this year.
