Anyone else doubting an iPP 2018 this year or June at Least?...

I managed to crack the screen on my 10.5, fortunately it's still usable with a screen protector so I'm limping along with it so far...
It's over 500 big ones for a screen replacement, so my rationale is to keep with my cripple for now and upgrade ASAP when a new spec comes out.
Sadly I don't think there will be a Pro refresh until early 2019, so I have a lot of limping still to do...

No idea who this person is, but seems they are hinting at no A11X. If that is the case, then I don’t expect an iPad Pro in a couple of weeks.
A12X could be in a new iPad Pro sometime at the end of the year though.
Intrigued to see what this ‘Star’ product might be:

I didn’t go looking for this, @stroughtonsmith and @_inside retweeted it, so unsure how reliable it is.

Yep, the tweet I linked was the start of it though - @_insider wrote the article after the tweet.
Check out this thread. Some new info, apparently confirmed about the A12/A12X and a very interesting discussion about IPP in general and potential release date.

This link just talks vague things, it does not say anything special that we don't know as of now !!
Nothing special sure, but things are starting to look like there won’t be an A11X. And to me at least, if there’s no A11X then that means no new iPad Pro at WWDC. I’d expect one could be released with the A12X later in the year, but I really don’t see them releasing the A12X months ahead of the A12 coming in the new phones sept/Oct. It hasn’t happened since the iPad 2 iirc.
I expect this ‘star’ product might take the lime light this time around. iOS 11 and (supposedly iOS 13) were/are big upgrades for the iPad (pro) so again, it makes less sense to release one this year at WWDC if there’s no software to show off with it. A quiet upgrade could happen, but not if the A11X doesn’t exist.
I’m gonna stick with a ‘it’s coming’ announcement at WWDC, and a later release with iOS12 and a A12X (just sounds nice 
). No good reason, just wishful thinking.

I like it. BUt the 10.5 WAS released before iOS 11 and didn’t come into its own until later in the year.I’m gonna stick with a ‘it’s coming’ announcement at WWDC, and a later release with iOS12 and a A12X (just sounds nice
There’s an argument to release it immediately if ready and let the reviewers, tech writers, developers and early adopters put it through it’s paces with an ios12 beta.
We’ll know in a aweek
I want to be positive and hopeful by saying new iPPs will be announced (with past rumors and some minor new ones.)
But whenever I want something The Universe tends to hate me and decline it. lol
So I am going to be the pessimistic me and say nothing major at WWDC, (and just hope I’m dead wrong.) lol
Kallum.

Exact date of first rumor was May 29th. Still a couple of days to go. *wink*

May 19th, 2017. Unless this is not considered a rumor?
Fair enough. Definitely a rumor but we do have some of those around the iPad 'X' right? Could be wrong here but I believe on May 29th is when details and WWDC got confirmed.
Doesn't matter, we're splitting hairs at this point. We all want a new shiny toy but also need to be realistic and I understand where everyone else is coming from. Me, I'm a hopeful kind of a guy.
Let's see. Fingers crossed that if it isn't June it's AT LEAST by OCtober. Otherwise my next trip back home isn't till next summer, I really do need an IPP for movie editing and not sure what I'll do. Perhaps pick up a used 12.9 v 2 until the new ones come out.
Well, It does look a mixed bag of possibilities, Apple announcing the 2018 iPad Pro Model on coming Monday. I was going through some google search links, and all of tech sites, tech bloggers all are sensing the same thing, Apple May just announce the 2018 iPad Pro's on Monday. it is still not completely ruled out. The winds is blowing in that direction lol !!
Then please want the negative and the new iPPs will be released at WWDC.

I hope that they will release the iPP 2018 rather than just announce it. Announcing it in June and releasing in the Fall does not help. Just makes us longing and waiting and spend more time on Macrumors.
Yeah, MacRumors can be a bit unbearable the month before each WWDC. Everyone scrambling to predict what is going to happen and going to great lengths to justify why their speculation is more worthy of consideration than others.
So Apple will announce a new iPad Pro at WWDC with an availability date in the Fall that then gets delayed until March 2019... causing an harmonic convergence of all speculations.
yeh. came here to post that link. later? I mean, July is later so also is December. Weird. Or this is some serious psy ops by Apple to bring back the one more thing surprise.
