This is exactly what I'm thinkingThat's possible, yes, but I'd say unlikely. My guess is they will update all iPads at once, once the new 10.5 is ready to reveal at an event.

The Mac boook needs to drop to $1000 and the Air completely diesSeriously, I think it's going to be the season's new watch band lineup. It's an annual thing and given the AW3 isn't due till late 2017, this will help spur watch sales.
If a 10.5 requires an press event, then so does explaining the rest of the iPad lineup. It makes sense to clarify the hierarchy if they discontinue the Air 2.
If anything is speed-bumped, it's the recently announced MBP's. Maybe Kaby Lake and 32gb RAM option..Same price...but ideally a $100 less. That might alleviate some of the hate it's received since it's launch.
