Is 10.5 iPad Pro/2017 12.9 Touch ID gen 2?

I was just in a chat on the apple store and they claim the ram is the same from before. 2 GB in 10.5 and 4 in the 12.9. Do we believe or not is the question.

I was transferred to a specialist.....but again, probably not correct. I wouldn't be surprised though.

Just For future reference, Apple customer service representatives know very little about technical hardware aspects or as much as the consumer knows about any future product releases or recent hardware launches. They barely have insight even the day of the launch or information as much as you would know after the keynote. They don't even have exact specifications other than what we can see publicly on Apple's website, more specifically, they don't have much knowledge of when it comes to Ram, benchmark performances, etc.

Does anyone know?

I would be a little miffed if it were still gen 1.

also wondering how much ram is in 10.5 iPad Pro, but I guess well find out next week

Confirmed is that the home button is 2nd Gen but not solid-state. This was found in EverythingApplePro's YouTube video of 10.5 Vs 9.7 iPad Pro go to 1:45 in the video.

It also comes with 4GB of RAM.

Hope that helps

iPad would need like 5 Taptic engines because it has a huge surface area that'd need to be covered for a vibrate. Plus, the solid home button would be the only reason for it because you don't carry the iPad in your pocket where a vibration notification would be useful. Taking up that much space for one purpose doesn't make sense.

Actually i disagree. I've had the physical home button fail on two seperate ipads. Its a major point of failure, and it should have been updated on the pro ipads to a solid homebutton like on the iphones.

But what numbers do we have supporting the fact that the solid home button fails any less? Or what is stopping the solid home button from failing? I would imagine the pieces of tech that make a solid home button work could fail just as often. Personally, I really do not like the solid home button. It eliminates ways in which you can use the device. They claim it works like the screen and capacitive gloves will unlock the screen, but in my use it's very glitchy. I guess that wouldn't really affect iPads as you wouldn't be using it out in the snow (most likely) but it is still a pain point.
