I voted for October.

The lack of recent iPad Pro rumors or part leaks combined with horizontal Face ID support not arriving until iOS 12 this fall leads me to believe a refresh in June is unlikely. I also don’t think Apple will want iPad Pro to steal the thunder from its iPhone event in September (which looks like it may be pretty substantial on its own). That leaves October as the most likely launch window as it is still early enough to get in with the holiday shopping season.

Not even a case leak yet hmmm.

Dual rear cameras ?

Where’s Ming Chi Kuo from KGI Securities not leaking much after Apple got him fired. Hmm a Chinese guy at an Investment Firm paying his contacts who work inside Chinese Foxconn factories presented a huge conflict of Intrest.
That guy had the scoop on everything.

A11X won't be introduced after A12.

Fired after working 6 years at KGI? No chance.

He moved from Taiwan to a much larger investment firm in Mainland China.

I hope June. My daughter wants one and I told her to wait for the next update, and I said I hope around June. I would spend all that money for a year old hardware unless she got a smoking deal.

My work is buying me a fully kitted iPad Pro of my choice so I’m waiting until a new model comes out.

I’m hoping for June or maybe August, but I agree with this logic and voted October
