Will we see iPad Pro updated this year?

They will be releasing the HomePod

Yep, we have two more previously announced products being announced for the fall, where as the iPad as already been updated, so that's why I'm thinking we'll not see it.

I agree, but iOS 11 needs improvement, my 2017 12.9 pro is a little laggy, it could be a beast (it was in iOS 10) but the os needs to mature a bit.

Yeah there are times the animation is jittery but I think the pros outweigh the cons of iOS 11 on the iPad pros

But then again I leapt right in and spent zero time on iOS 10

It’ll be buttery smooth with a few updates!

Really the X chips seem to have matured from being an iPhone chip running at a higher clock speed with better graphics bolted on to being almost a half step between iPhone chipset generations. Case in point the A10X which shares it’s core design with the A10, but built on the same 10nm architecture as the A11. It also ups the core count (something that started with the A8X) but interestingly to a 3 & 3 design, not the 2 & 4 of the A11. I’d guess that’s due to the greater emphasis on power where they have more room for battery and heat dissipation in the bigger iPads and efficiency in the smaller iPhones?

Actually, the ipad 2 received the A5 chip before the iPhone did

And the original iPad got the A4 chip before the iPhone 4 was announced.
