Apple just announced the 4/20 event, which most likely will introduce the next gen ipad pro. currently i have a 11" ipad pro bought from Costco and it's still returnable. should i return it and wait for the new one? i mostly using it for streaming movies. I got $100 off on the current ipad pro, figure it's worth while to trade in even though i have to pay full price for the new version.

It's up to you, but if I was in your position I absolutely would. This is supposed to be a pretty large jump in performance for the 11" and while it may not matter to you now, the age of the iPad will affect it's resale value later. If you plan to keep it until it breaks, then the new iPad will surely enjoy longer software support thanks to it's faster chip.

Yes, return it I think you'll be glad you did.
The rumors suggest a much faster chip and a better display with Mini-LED
for movies Mini-LED will offer near perfect blacks, excellent color and higher brightness I would consider the display significant upgrade for someone who wants the highest quality picture on an iPad.

Yes. I mean, even if you decided you want your current iPad you could get it at a cheaper price.
