Interesting, maybe it’s the colours or they are adding an extra storage option? 1TB would be awsome!
It says that there’s 8 total model numbers. 2 models for each size of iPad on WiFi only and 2 models for each size on WiFi + LTE.
I’m really hoping that it is down to two storage size options with 128gb being the smallest because that would be plenty for me. My current IPP is 128gb and I have way more room than I need in it. I’d like to be able to buy the cheaper version of something for once lol. Although I’ll gladly pay for the larger size if the smaller one sells out in five nanoseconds like typical of product launches. Just want the damn thing already.

The 256Gb is a sweet spot for me - would hate to see it dropped and forced to pay more for the next size up - 512GB? Will see what materialises and prices before contemplating an upgrade but if there is another price hike then I'm likely to stick with last years models for another year at least as they are great iPads (10.5 & 12.9).
Not necessarily true. They do send them out before 10am pacific sometimes. For instance, the invites for last months event were sent out at around 9am on August 30th. I was bored the other night, as well as curious, so I went back through all the macrumors main articles until I found it. It was reported here at like 9:07 am here that day.
Or they send invites out tomorrow or Thursday, there is plenty of time!
Have there been any details on the future of the 3.5mm audio socket on the iPads? This is something I use when doing video editing or working in Garageband on the iPad Pro due to latency issues and Apple Airpods don't get round this issue. Losing this socket would be a big loss for the iPads if it happens.

That along with presumably a new AV out adapter and SD Card reader along with a new case could make it an expensive transition from the current Pros. I'm not one for the ASK but this will also be a necessary upgrade for many. Hope Apple keep their pricing sensible.

I get the feeling that 3.5mm headphone port will stick around for a while on these 'Pro' devices. iMacs, MacBooks, iPad Pro.. Even the Macbook, when that new design came in 2015 and the big deal was that it had a single USB-C port for everything, there was still a headphone port on the opposite side.
Have you seen any devices use this technology that are significantly bigger than a mobile phone?
That was my thought as well. But maybe those who are so strongly believing it’s coming nevertheless could explain to us how big they’d like their devices before they call others names.
I was just looking at the thread in the main news sub-forum and invites so far for October events have always gone out on Tuesday (for the following Tuesday) or Wednesday (for the following Wednesday or Thursday). So if it follows that same trend and there's going to be an event next week then we should see the invites go out no later than tomorrow.
Until Apple break the trend, we could see them tomorrow or Thursday. Maybe even today.

Today or tomorrow would make sense, especially to take away from Google’s event. Saying that tho they might not even care about the Google event, I imaging Tim and Johnny Ive laughing as they watched it. The pixel slate isn’t even going to touch the iPad Pro in my opinion.
Not with ChromeOS. Why are they even still trying to push ChromeOS in the first place?
