Lol at everyone who denied that the op had knowledge of future apple releases. Apparently he has a lot more than any of us.
 
Am I correct that the hardware updates are for the 10" iPad Pro only? Any improvement on the 12.9" model?

The 12.9" model has been refreshed as well with the expected A10X, True Tone, and 120 Hz.
 
Thanks. No mention about battery life of the 12.9" model. How about the camera?

The camera has been upgraded to 12MP and 7MP on the back and front, respectively.

Every iPad since the original in 2010 has had a "10 hour" battery life according to Apple. It's a marketing spec rather than an engineering spec. The 9.7-inch iPad (2017) performed far better than 10 hours in benchmarks. Only benchmarks will reveal the true battery life for the new iPad Pro (2017).
 
Just how much Ram on the 10.5?


No Mention on RAM Apple never mentions RAM we needs to wait for a Teardown for that once the device releases.

So far the 10.5" iPad Pro look Amazing same Size as 9.7" just bigger display.

600nits
Wide Color Gamut
HDR
And 120hz refresh rate.
No word on Reolution maybe the same.
6 Core CPU Really it's just an A9 with 1 Extra Core Each. Only 3 are useable at any given time.

Stop it is not just a A9 with 1 extra core, it's a lot more than that
 
This iPad Pro (2017) launch was a bit too logical. Not too many surprises. Anyone else feel this way?

  • Timing of product launch: Obviously before September since Apple wasn't going to launch A10X at the same time as A11.
  • No iPad Pro Mini: Couldn't be more obvious due to UX and market forces of a mini iPad.
  • 120 Hz refresh: Leaked in iOS 10.3.
  • True Tone: Obvious since the 9.7-inch already had it.
  • 64 GB base storage and USB 3.0 protocol for fast charging and data transfer: Interesting and likely similar for iPhone X.
  • iOS 11: Have to wait until hands on test. But drag and drop and redesigned app switcher are low hanging fruit.

Just ordered a 512gb 10.5" Space Grey Cellular and Smart Keyboard :)

Not sure if old Smart Keyboard works with new one so ordered it anyway, can always return it if necessary.

Looks like it is safe to get the Apple Pen AND a nice case for it!

But dang, now time for me to decide if I should sell off my 12.9 for the new one. It has warranty until end of this month and in a good condition.
