Huawei has often been guilty of introducing products “inspired” by Apple designers, and it is apparently doing so again with an upcoming tablet. Leaked images of the Huawei MatePad Pro show that it looks almost exactly like an iPad Pro. Even the name is copied.
Take a look at the Huawei MatePad Pro
Evan blass and 91mobiles offered a collection of images of this tablet and its accessories before the official announcement.
These show the MatePad Pro with the same rounded corners as the 2018 iPad Pro, both on the case and the screen.
And Huawei will apparently offer an ultra-thin keyboard that is the spitting image of the Apple Smart Keyboard. To top it off, there’s a stylus that snaps onto the top edge of the tablet, just like the Apple Pencil 2.
One of the few external hardware differences is that the MatePad Pro is said to have a hole-punch camera, while Apple put its equivalent on the display bezel. Additionally, Huawei has included dual camera lenses – Apple is rumored to be planning something similar for the iPad Pro 2020.
Of course, the next tablet will run Android, but Blass hasn’t been able to come up with any internal specs. The price or release date of the Huawei MatePad Pro is also unknown. The Apple iPad Pro that this computer is modeled on is already available, of course.
For more examples of this Cupertino-copying company, look no further than its MagicBook Pro which is a MacBook clone, and its FreeBuds 3 are strongly reminiscent of the new AirPods Pro.
