What are the chances of new iPad PRO this year ?

[kofman13]

i want to get an iPad Pro but also want to wait to maybe wait for the next refresh. What do you guys think are the chances for a new iPad PRO by the end of 2018? If so, design change? After using my iPhone X since launch, using home button to wake and home button again to unlocked on my iPad Air 2 just seems so slow and archaic lol. Would be nice to see one without home button and with raise to wake

Just an FYI, there are dozens of threads about the 2018 iPad speculation.

This is a no brainer an uPdated iPad every year is for given. A Ritual that Apple follows. So no deviating from that fact !!

The chances are extremely high due to:

1. Adding TrueDepth camera in iPad to replace Home button.

2. 7nm A11X.
Apple runs low volumes of silicon using a known design (A11X) on new 7nm process before ramping new A12 through it.
