Good, don't listen to the people that keep saying don't buy something, better is coming, these people say that immediately after every release, its why they never own an iPad, they are always waiting for the next one which never meets their standards.

Those people definitely exist and aren’t worth listening to, but the iPad Pro is now a full year into its cycle so waiting for a new announcement is not a bad idea as long as you’re not in a hurry getting the device.
My iPad Pro 10.5 has developed the infamous "display bright spot 3 inches from the home button" issue and of course it's out of warranty. Fortunately, someone suggested contacting my credit card to utilize their extended warranty benefit and they are covering the replacement cost. There are some great prices on the iPad Pro 11" now that it's been out for a year including refurbished on Apple's site so I pulled the trigger for one. Absolutely love it and have zero regrets but I typically always buy my Apple products a year or so after they are released and don't need to have the newest product.
Even though I have a "working" iPad MIni2 Wifi, iPad 2018 Wifi and the iPod 2019 I plan on upgrading on the upcoming "Black Friday" to a iPad mini 2019 with Cellular. Reason; I like the form factor and Specs of this new iPad mini with Cellular Capability. Also, I do not own a Cellular Telephone

Just 7 days to go. If nothing, guess it’s 6 months away. Might as well get the 2018 model.
Nah, if it's not in November, and really is in 2020, I'd still hope for Jan/Feb. or 3-4 months from now.
I'll wait.
I somewhere read an article that Kuo said the pro might be refreshed early next year. i guess the new Pro could be released directly on the online store.
You could be right.
I have held out on purchasing an iPad Pro now for a few months in the hope a new one would be released come October.
Based on leaks etc. this is looking more and more unlikely. I have a hunch though that Apple may still do a minor spec update before November so il hang on until then.
I dont think the pros will get a online refresh, they would deff be unveiled in a keynote, predictably the spring one in march. Its a minor upgrade spec bump with the triple camera, if you already have the 2018 pros, its not a substantial upgrade imo. Now the rumors for the next refersh after this one, iPP are going to get microLEDs. A little better than OLED.
Micro-LED definitely is not the rumour for 5th gen. The rumour is mini-LEDs.
