Let's call it a revealing moment with regards to the OP's accuracy for guesswork.
I don't know why people believe this along with news articles saying that there will be iPad's at WWDC, Apple have never announced (as far as i know) iPad's at WWDC, they focus more on software that's not to say they don't occasionally announce some hardware. I think it's more likely we will see iPad's in September or October, but i'm thinking September at the new Steve Jobs theatre where they can celebrate it's first event with new iPhone 8, Apple Watch 3 and the new iPad Pro's i then think we will see new Mac's in October, new iMac updated MacBook Pro's and an updated 12" MacBook.
Probably because Apple has been selling fewer and fewer iPads each quarter for the past 2-3 years.
What has been working in the past isn't working any longer.
That's due to the fact that people don't upgrade their iPads as often, people tend to keep their iPads longer than a year or 2. It doesn't mean that Apple will announce a new one any sooner than September, of course its all speculation and Apple could surprise everyone and announce a new iPad Pro at WWDC but I personally doubt it and I wouldn't hold my breath. Do I want to upgrade my 12.9" iPad Pro, yea I do but I'm under know illusion that it be announced or released any earlier than September.
I love the easily moving goalposts on this topic...

He has middle-high credibility——at least not just posting personal opinion or feeling——as my observation
Tech does not sell very well in the summer, it would be weird to release it then. I've seen some really crazy rumors like it'll have touchbar and forcetouch. Basically we can't know until they're announced.
Apple has launched at least a half a dozen MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac products during the summer months in the past five years. Strong products sell themselves.
Waited this long, can wait for less then another month for an updated IPP. Figured it would've been done when they made the other iPad changes a month or so ago.
One theory of course is then to have the tablets get the most enhancements from a new OS11, so the thought to have the tablets updated as well as maybe the new form (though I always thought since the rumour of the new IPad size that the bezel less IPhone and IPad would be trotted out together in Fall) as part of that software showcase at WWDC with the upgraded internals makes some sense. iPads would be ready right away because of the simple internal enhancements such as a new CPU and ram etc, and would get IOS 11 when it rolls out in the fall just before the new IPhones come out. (And new form factor IPad as mentioned above too).
Fall does seem too busy to release everything at once, with IPhones of course coming out.

Bad news：
The launch of iPad Pro 10.5 has a chance of being delayed，due to some manufacturing issues

Where are you getting this information, i haven't seen a report on this yet. The iPad Pro 2 is more likely to be announced in September it always has been since it was September 2015 that Apple announced the first iPad Pro 12.9"
Well, almost all "leaks" and insider informations are "unofficial", absent from "reports" and press releases, that's their very nature.
What I don't see yet is how many sizes the IPad will finally keep.
a) iPad mini 7.9
b) iPad "classic" 9.7
c) new iPad standard 10.5 (no bezels, same size as b)
d) iPad XL 12.9
Obviously b and c together don't make a clear lineup, on will have to go. But ipad pro 2017 was just announced... Quite confusing.
Anyway, not really essential to me anymore, as I dislike the unchanged and overly limited functionality (read: connectivity) of the iPads more and more, I gravitate towards a Surface pro 4 or 5 (if that comes this year)...
Yes but some have more credibility than others, for example Ming-Chi Kuo has a track record of being very reliable. With regards to you saying that iPad Pro 2017 was just announced, no it wasn't what was announced was a cheaper iPad! The iPad Pro hasn't been updated by Apple yet and is very likely to be updated at the September event alongside the new iPhone's.
That was a typo. I know it's a simplified 9.7 model without the latest screen tech, but it was 9.7, even if the 10.5 will be the pro, it will be a confusing line-up with possibly 4 sizes. Simplicity looks different to me.
As for the release date, who cares. There are always rumors, and one of them may turn out to be the right one. Not a competition for me, but certainly a fun to speculate.

I don't think one of them (9.7 or 10.5) has to go. If anything moving the smaller Pro to 10.5 with a higher resolution helps to differentiate it from the 9.7" iPad
iPad (2048x1536 - optimal for single app full screen use)
7.9" (no clue if this will stick around or be given the 'iPad' treatment)
9.7"
iPad Pro (2732x2048 - larger real estate for multitasking)
10.5"
12.9"
Not much different than MacBook 12", MacBook Pro (13" and 15").

The rumoured launch of a yet unleaded device might be delayed because of rumours about manufacturing issue.
Fixed that for you.
Guys,
As the iPhone is the leading product in terms of design, there are exactly 2 possibilitys:
1. apple gives an under the hood update on the pros on WWDC, because they won't unveil a new (bezel less) design until the iphone got its update
2. the pro gets an update at the end of year, just like every other product with a 2 years cycle.
But I actually don't believe in an 10.5" iPad this year. Maybe in march, like the release of the 9,7" pro last year

While this is true Apple could simply announce the 10.5" iPad Pro at the same event as the new iPhone's, a bezel-less iPhone and a bezel-less iPad at the same event makes sense.
I kind of agree with you, but if they do an under the hood update to the existing Pros, say to an A10 and updated screen for the 12.9, why didn't they do it at the March event when they updated the iPad line? Unless they maybe they were close to announcing new Pros with a new design but got delayed?
Actually it would have been nice this past March for them to have updated the Pros' internals as well as the 2017 iPad. Would have taken some pressure off from needing to release this supposed redesigned Pro and having everything (iPhone, Watch, TV, iMacs, iPads) coming all at once in the fall.
