I think Apple has stopped iPad Pro production to reset for the new 2020 iPad Pro. Anyways what are some minor updates Apple May or may not add for the new 2020 iPad Pro. Please share your spec.

#1. Apple A13X CPU
#2. 6GB RAM
#3. Dual Rear cameras
#4. Thunderbolt 3 port
#5. Same body and style (maybe with internal rigidity improvements)

Thats it I don’t see any major changes happening.
As I stated when I bought my 11” iPad Pro in Oct 2018 this is a 3 year Product.

2018 new iPad Pro
2019 no Update
2020 Minor spec update
2021 Late in the year OLED Display and new Sizes. 13” (OLED panels exists) Alibaba and others are flooded with 8” OLED displays from factories testing production and dumping unmarked (yet working) 8” OLED panels into the market.
 
I don't think a new Pro with an A13X processor could be called a "minor update". They'll keep USB-C for Pro reasons, they'll tweak the display again a bit and boom! - with the increased battery life (Apple won't want to miss out the positive publicity they got with the newest iPhones with up to 5h more battery life) on iPads you now have a great travel companion that's Intel-threateningly fast and holds up through a full day of usage.

I think that Apple wastes potential on their processors. If iPad Pro 2020 comes with the same A12X and 8GB RAM for example, it still be the fastest tablet in the market. No need to launch A13X...

Everybody was doubtful that the A13 would be more powerful than the A12, but Apple proved us all wrong. I'd like to imagine that they'll do the same with the A13X.

I don't care if it's heavier, just give me that 7000 series aluminum!
Because you know which type of aluminum iPad Pro are made of ??? 🤔

I think Apple could skip a “1Q update” in 2020 and release the new iPad Pro in November with many upgrades (most of them introduced with iPhone 12 Pro).

Give me a 15'' version please.
Why not a 32” version ? Great for Apple TV+ .... 🤦🏻‍♂️

But they're in constant battle with themselves, and Intel could be their next breakfast, too. I'll gladly take any improvement here :)
