I have an older iPad and will eventually buy the 10.5 inch.
Any harm in buying it now with the current IOS and then in fall when version 11 comes out do the IOS update OR wait till when the 10.5 comes preinstalled with IOS 11 ?

Thx

No harm in it and I wouldn’t expect the price to drop in the interim. If you have the cash I’d say go for it.

Price not the issue (who am i kidding, its an Apple) more of performance, loss of storage during the update process or is such an update way different than a Microsoft update?, etc.

Upgrading or even reinstalling when the public release comes around will give you a system no different from those who buy with iOS 11 factory installed. Its not like Windows Update indeed - no winSXS folder bloating up over time.
