How much do you think we can expect to see the new iPads priced at, do you think that they may be priced the same as the current iPad Pro?
Got a tip for us?

New IPad Pro Pricing

At least as expensive as the current models. Probably more considering recent Apple.
Wouldn’t put it past them pricing it at £1000, hope not because I could buy a MacBook for that
For precisely that reason they won’t price them at that much.
iPad XS Max 1TB - $1699 w/ $299 AppleCare+
More like iPad XR and XR max. The 9.7” could be the iPad SE.
Apple has yet to make an iPad XS. It’s not even rumored. OLED would be a must.
Like others, I have no idea what Apple will do, but one interesting scenario would be if they followed the iPhone structure:
iPad Xs 12.9 inch: $1,000
iPad Xr 11.5 inch: $650
iPad 2018 9.7 inch: $330
The question would be; other than screen size, how would Apple differentiate an Xs model from an Xr model, such that a substantial price gap would be justified? USB-C connector? Laminated vs Non-Laminated Display?
Anyway, with the iPhone release, it seems that Apple is trying to create 3 tiers of offerings:
1. High End - Xs
2. Typical User - Xr
3. Entry Level - Models with older technology that still work well with the current Apps and OS
They could try to expand this approach to other products.

I would expect the pricing to stay the same, especially with the basic iPad starting at $329.
I do have a feeling Apple will keep around the iPad Pro 2 models at a discounted price, most likely a starting price of $499

I am not sure if OLED is a must-have. How good is it for image manipulation, editing etc - just;poking nice would not work for the folks who want to edit content and adjust colours etc.
It’s probably awesome for content consumption but the iPad Pro has to serve more purpose than that.
It’s a must have in the sense that they are marketing Super Retina devices. That’s the big sell on iPhone xs. That’s the next big selling point after they go with the Xr iPad. Apple knows they have at least a year or two though.
I think an Xr iPad is unrealistic to expect. Besides let’s hope that naming scheme doesn’t spread. Yuck.
Also burn in, vignetting, and too dim for true HDR.
By that time, microLED will probably be here. And it has all the benefits of OLED and none of the drawbacks. Perfect blacks, no burn in, super bright. And since it's so similar to LCD it may be cheap to produce eventually.
well the 12.9 ipad pro 256GB was only what, 1100 on cellular? they aren't priced like phones really.

The new iPads won't have OLED. The cost to produce those is just going to be way too much. I think there was even a recent rumor that claimed this as well.
