I believe so, yes. I only addressed your first question as to what those sensors are. (Edit to add: I neglected to do a full feature comparison because I suspected that perhaps initial iPad releases had different but was too lazy to do the research of a full feature comparison across all models.) The full sentence mentions the "new iPad", not that the sensors are necessarily new, not surprising in a press release.
- walterbell 9y agoWhat's new is the reference to "immersive augmented reality".
- grzm 9y agoThe whole sentence is "The new iPad is more versatile and capable than ever, features a large Retina display, the A10 Fusion chip and advanced sensors that help deliver immersive augmented reality, and provides unmatched portability, ease of use and all-day battery life." I read "that help deliver immersive augmented reality" as referring to the display, the chip, and the sensors as a whole. Even then, the "new" just refers to the new iPad, and doesn't say that "immersive augmented reality" is a new feature. Apple's been touting AR for a while now, introducing ARKit with iOS 11, so it's not surprising that they'd include it here. It's a press release, and should be read as such.
- walterbell 9y agoHere is the 2017 iPad press release: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/06/ipad-pro-10-5-and-12-9-inch-models-introduces-worlds-most-advanced-display-breakthrough-performance/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/06/ipad-pro-10-5-and-12-... It has no references to augmented reality. The only reference to sensors are for the Apple Pencil.
- grzm 9y agoiOS 11 wasn't released until September 2017. It not all that surprising that they'd leave out AR until it was actually available in the product.
