Whether or not the new models will support Apple’s Smart Keyboard is a bigger question, however. Hard to imagine Apple shipping sans TouchID unless for $- Steve Troughton-Smith January 29, 2019 It seems like both iPad sizes support a Smart Keyboard and Pencil, but it's possible that neither include Touch ID (nor Face ID). It's hard to glean much information about J210/J211, and J217/J218, the upcoming iPad models. While it’s no surprise that Apple Pencil support will continue with this year’s standard-sized iPad, it would make an even more appealing upgrade for the fifth-generation iPad mini, particularly considering how many have been hoping Apple Pencil support would come to the company’s larger-screened iPhones. However, last year Apple surprised people by releasing a sixth-generation successor to that model - a low-cost iPad with Apple Pencil support baked in.
