Hello

I’m wondering if the WiFi only version of the 2020 iPad Pro has the antenna band across the top on the back? Thanks

The Wi-Fi models have a band spanning the rear face, adjacent to the top edge, stopping where the radius of the corner ends, as pictured on Apple's site.

On the cellular models, there is one along the top, as well as one on the bottom of the rear face, and they both continue off the rear faces onto the edge until they meet the front screen. There are also additional offset bands bisecting the top and bottom edges, as shown on the examples in this review, which are both cellular models.

Thanks! I appreciate the info, I bought the iPad Air and I’m having thoughts to exchange it for the pro. I really want Face ID. Touch ID does not work well for me. I’m not too crazy about the antenna design on the back of the pro though. The air has a much cleaner look.

For me, Touch ID was frustrating, and inconsistent. Face ID on my XS and Pro has been a much better experience; I'd never go back.

I don't mind the bands, and hidden inside a case, they've seldom seen at all. The ones on the iPhone 6 series were much less discreet.
