Safari's built in split view (long tap to bring up option) is the biggest iPad only change I remember off the top of my head.

10.5-Inch iPad Pro Said to Have 2,224×1,668 Display With Same Pixel Density as 9.7-Inch Model

I will be stunned to see a $300 9.7" iPad with a spec increase from the Air 2, particularly if the new 10.5" iPad Pro either stays at the current 9.7" price of $600 or more likely jumps another $100 to $700. True, they sold the iPad 2 for that price but that was when it over three years old and competing against a $500 iPad Air.
Most likely situation is they keep the existing two-generation old iPad Air 2 in production and drop the price. I see much cannibalization of new iPad models though. The $399 iPad Air 2 is already outselling the Pro model by a 2:1 margin and a $300 to $400 price difference isn't going to help at all.

Everyone gets so caught up in the branding. Pro, not Pro, Air, iPad... who gives a ****? Is the product compelling? It's a buy. ipad is still my favorite product in Apple's lineup, especially with Pencil. Still love iOS and can't wait for the reveal of this 10.5 model.
So many iPads to choose from... I suppose it could be worse. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/tablets/all-tablets/s/_/n-10+11+hv1rq/
At this rate, I'm expecting to see the unveiling of "iOSX"

Well... to share my use cases:
1) Desktop Windows PC
I use this a lot. Internet, work, personal stuff, games. I do have a home PC, and one at work
2) Win10 Laptop
I hardly use this since my tech group is on hold for one programming project. I'm still tempted to put Linux on it (either Cent OS or Ubuntu). I'm using it for a personal programming project, but my current hurdle is I get the "plugged in, not charging" notification.
3) Chromebook
My main way to access the internet away from home when I have wifi (and remember to bring the Chromebook), although I don't mind using this for a superior internet experience away from the desktop
4) LG G4
The smartphone. Cell coverage, so I use this for internet on the road
5) Ipod Touch 5
I used to game heavily on the IpT3 to IpT5. I was disappointed the IpT6 still had the same, dinky 4" screen. Nowadays, more of my gaming is on the Ipad Air. Since I quit a freemium game (Plants Vs. Zombies 2), and do most of my internet via #1 through #3 (see above) I don't even bother turning on the wifi anymore.
The device is running on 3.5 years, and when the battery on this goes, I'll see what else my options are for iOS gaming, if I even want to continue playing iOS games. For now, I'm finishing up games I started on here in case the save data doesn't transfer over to the iPad.
6) Ipad Air
Gaming device. I still have a backlog of games I'd like to get through. I use this more to preserve the IpT5 battery.

This is in general (not just Ipad and iOS, but also with Android and its tablets...) but supporting Ipad specific features gets expensive, even though there are many iPad users out there. Many think that it's "just an extra feature", but it can be a whole app on its own. If they can't charge more for it, devs much rather stick with iPhone OS stuff and call it a day.
They are cleaning up:
No more new ipad mini, perhaps they' ll keep to mini 4 around.
No more ipad air(2)
No more ipad pro 9.7 en 12.9 1st gen.
Ipad mini 4(perhaps), perhaps a soc update, and recalling it se.
So:
Ipad 7.9 and 9.7 (SE?) , a9(x) soc updated camera' .No smart connector, no pencil support , 2 old style speakers from $299 and from $399
Ipad pro 2 10.5 inch and 12.9 inch from 649 and 799.
Here is how I have come to view getting stuff done on the iPad.
For me, because much of the teaching I do falls in the light to moderate complexity area (after using my Mac to do all the heavy lifting), the reality is that in terms of horsepower, a laptop is usually overkill for the tasks I use it for. As such, I am okay with falling back on mobile apps if it means gaining in terms of simplicity and ease of use and a more elegant UI.
To be fair, it is the most versatile (in terms of there being the most number of places/situations where it wouldn't be awkward to be traveling with one).
What? Are you saying that a 10.5" iPad with a PPI value, which is too high, is stress to the eyes?
Respectfully, that makes no sense to me. How so?
Ya - it's the iOS that needs a reboot. Too many work-around needed to do the same thing as macOS on or Windows on a laptop. Many apps are handcuffed by the limitations of iOS.
AND, if they weren't you'd bitch too,RELAX and enjoy what we get,IPP are fast and amazing

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING, IPP's blow chunks on any iPA,

UH lessee..8??
Lil something for anyone? Why not???
So would have to be an early week send out next week if there's going to be a media event in March.
You'd think there would be if the ad department is churing out youtube videos regarding the Ipad, and not a "quiet" release of up spec'd existing models, and, of course, if they're going to do a bezel-less Ipad.

I'm dying to buy the iPad Pro because I have a iPen as a x-mas gift and not able to use it. Then people are saying that a new iPad pro is coming out, but only a new iPad not the pro came out. So I'm wondering when is this 10.5 iPad Pro is coming out?
Come on apple, i am waiting too!
It seems this year will be the year of the smaller ipad and iphone getting the almost full front display treatment(iphone 8 and 10.5 inch ipad) and the next year will be the year of the full front display of the iphone 8+ and 12.9 inch ipad pro.
