This has changed since

with the release of the new standard iPad, which is nowalso supports Apple Pencil. The new iPad Pro has been updated to the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. According to new rumors, Apple Pencil support will become even wider. Developer Steve Troughton-Smith wrote that the iPad mini 5 might support the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

He wrote that the J210 / J211 and J217 / J218 models support both accessories. However, he previously wrote that new iPad models can be without a Touch ID or Face ID, but he himself hardly believes in it.

It&#39;s hard to glean much information aboutJ210/J211, and J217/J218, the upcoming iPad models. It seems like both iPad sizes support a Smart Keyboard and Pencil, but it&#39;s possible that neither include Touch ID (nor Face ID). Hard to imagine Apple shipping sans TouchID unless for $

Steve later wrote that most likely AppleUses Touch ID for tablets. The design of the iPad mini 5 will be similar to the iPad mini 4, and the frames of the updated standard iPad will become a little thinner, but not as thin as the iPad Pro.
