Will there be no 9.7" iPad Pro this year 2017?

The only reason I could see Apple announcing new iPad Pro's at WWDC is if they have iPad Pro specific software to show, maybe some Pro updates and so on. Otherwise I think we will see them in September or October.

There could be a sneak in iOS 10.4, then full blown apps in iOS11.

I'm just afraid that the 9.7 will be replaced with the 10.5 that has the ipad mini's PPI. I find many elements on that screen just too small.

That won't happen, the GUI is scalable. The same way the 12.9 pro has similar sized elements to the 9.7 with the same PPI.

This is actually a completely false statement, and I wish that people would do some fact checking (given that it's 2017 and people believe anything they read) before they post.

A new iPad model has never been announced at WWDC. Never.

Alternative facts.......that's the world we live in now.

I'd agree if there's no April event then new iPad pros won't come till fall.

I am a strong believer that the 9.7" iPad Pro was just the right size between a iPhone 7 Plus and the 12.9" iPad Pro. Apple is unnecessarily spoiling the whole game by introducing the 10.5" iPad Pro which will come very close to the 12.9" iPad Pro and will be bigger and chunkier than the 9.7" iPad Pro !

I don't think anyone knows when new iPads will be released, or if there is a 10.5" iPad at all. Both iPad Pros on sale now will perform well for several years, so if you can find a good price on one now, go ahead and get it

Exactly what I did, traded my air 1 for a 9.7 pro. Target has 128 gb for 599 now

Aside from more ram and a new processor, I don't know what else you could even add to the iPad Pro 9.7". I doubt the update the camera as it is already the best iPad camera ever.

That depends on bezel size and power consumption of the slightly bigger display.

And yet, last year when rumors of the 10.5" Pro first surfaced, you clung to the hope that it might be more future-proof than the Pro 9.7.

You can't have it both ways.

Since you held off from buying the Pro 9.7 when there was a great sale then, now you either have to hope that the Pro 10.5 gets announced or hope another great sale comes again.

This is what happens when you sit on the fence.
