Oh man I was soooo hoping for 11.15”. Heartbroken. Maybe in another 3 years it will finally happen.
It’ll actually be larger than 11.15”.

Please keep the line up simple apple.
It seems a new size comes out every year or so.
It’s only changing because of the bezelless design, it’s the new 10.5” rather than a new size in the lineup.

11" so this could mean, they remove the 10.5" and the 12.9" and make just one size ?!
No.

Seems like Apple decided that the most important thing to copy from Android, is fragmentation.
This isn’t fragmentation. People for some reason thought this when the 10.5” was rumored despite numerous corrections, this is not another model/screen size in the lineup, it replaces the smaller iPad Pro.

What is with these sizes ( if this is indeed true)?! Stick to a size and stay with it.
The same reason why the iPhone X has a larger screen vs the iPhone 7/8. They have stuck with a screen size, but made it taller, hence the slimmer bezels.

So this will presumably be phased in like the X - an 11 inch alongside the 10.5 and 12.9 this year, then next year consolidated into 11 and 13 inch bezel-less options?
14”.

They just upped the screen size last year and apps had to update some elements since they became slightly blurred when scaled to the new screen. Not all apps are fully using apples adaptive resolution independent APIs. Perfect example is the keyboard. Many apps like HBO Go, Netflix, Facebook were still using the old 9.7 inch sized keyboard when the 10.5 came out and had to update since all it was was a scaled up , blurry 9.7 keyboard. Upping the screen size again will cause similar issues. Which is fine. I just don't see it happening so soon after the screen size was increased.
It won’t cause those issues.

If we have the 10.5 updated to 11", would it make sense to have the 12.9 updated to 13.3?
Given how Apple has fixated on the 13.3" Size for some reason.
And with these size increase, what are the chances we see a 8.9" inch iPad Mini?
And I hope they will up the memory as well. 6Gb ? 8GB ?
The size would be around 13.5”-14”, depending on how they choose to approach it. I would imagine 6GB of RAM.

Haven’t you seen the rumors? It’s mentioned right here in this article too. This IS the “future of iPads” with a new X design.
The screen size isn’t really important chassis size is. So if Apple can keep the same physical dimensions of the 10.5, remove home button, reduce beZel to give us a 11 (I say closer to 11.3), why not?
Been calling it for a while actually. 11.3 is close to the old 11” MBA and hits the sweet spot. I found the 12.9 great for laptop work but too unwieldy in tablet mode. The 10.5 was a great tablet , just a bit too small for “work”.
11 to 11.3 sounds perfect. Now if they can bump up the resolution so it can also run two full screen apps like the 12.9 that’s just bonus!
You’re one of the few that seems to understand the situation. There always seems to be confusion with a new screen size, and this is arguably a worse scenario for confusion given the changes, compared to last year.
Talk about screen size vs. weight ratio. I love my 10.5 iPad.
