And FaceID to work in landscape.....
Could be marketing strategy.
Having iPad Pro 2nd gen and then having iPhone X, makes you want to have a new iPad and more powerful then your phone.
Having then again a new iphone even more powerful this year, makes you want to trow money at Apple and beg for a more powerful iPad... now that you are mentally prepared to trow money for a new iPad, they will release the new mighty iPad without bezels with Face ID etc etc, for a base price of:.... $999
From looking at my ipad 10.5 [on it now] if the screen proportion stayed the same and was simply stretched to be bezelless, there would easily be space for the cameras without the need for a notch [which would be very silly on an ipad].
Probably the biggest problem with the all screen iPad is that Apple still has not implemented edge detection and I find with the thinner bezels on the latest iPad Pro there are times when a fraction of my thumb is over the screen and it does not respond to gestures correctly.
I don't think this is a challenge to understand the difference between the placement of a touch that can be detected as the person holding on to the device and intentional touch to perform a click or gesture, and if Apple wants to go all-in on minimizing bezels on the iPad, they need to figure out this properly. Certainly this challenge is not daunting for a company worth near 1 trillion in market cap.
There is no point to rush to market the first thin bezel all screen tablet, when no other competitor has bothered to do that just because of the simple fact of where to you hold on to it to use it properly. If Apple rushes this out and doesn't add some kind of edge touch rejection to iOS 12, it will be another blatant example of form over function.
And yes, if Apple is going to offer Face ID, then offer multiple profile support.

How would you even hold that thing??
The notch on iPad Pro would be terrible. I can't see how people would be editing or drawing in full screen mode with part of the image missing. I certainly hope there will be no notch.
Can anybody dig in iOS 12 to find out if the to-be-new iPAD PRO would have a notch?
With such a bit device to accommodate the hardware for Face ID, there shouldn't be a need to have a notch unless the stupid crazy new Apple wants to have it to make the new IPP looks like an iPhone X.
Hope Apple is not going to make a notch also on the Macbook Pro to make all devices consistent.

Why, why, why, why? Stupid notch!!! Just accept a slightly thicker bezel at the end where the camera and other sensors are so you so don't have this big black blob at the edge of the screen!!! Apple are supposed to be about design elegance, but the notch is anything but elegant. It's only there so as much as the screen as possible can go right to the edge. and only exists because it's not currently possible to put the camera and other sensors behind the glass. A slightly thicker bezel would look infinitely better.
As an iPad mini owner I'm hoping the former. I've given up on the mini Pro (but feel free to surprise me Apple!) so I'm hoping for the smallest, full-sized iPad.

Read the "things found in iOS 12 beta" summary. "Alternate faces" is now supported. Still doesn't look like true multi-user support but it is a start.
And I thought I was done buying iPads forever. Apple take my money!

I still think these gestures replacing a physical button, and faceID replacing TouchID, are dumb usage concepts.
They did, actually. I updated my iPhone X to iOS 12, and it has the option to add an alternate face. Granted, it’s only two faces… But it certainly a step in the right direction.
Perhaps they do it and few years later, they announce that they listen to users and release an improved version without the notch.
Palm rejection, I would assume. Just like they do with the Apple Pencil. The tools are already there.
I need someone to explain why the iPad needs such tiny bezels? The iPhone you are maximizing the screen size of something that is being held in one hand and normally placed in a pocket. Those constraints don’t exist for the iPad so the lack of bezels just becomes something that makes it significantly less durable and probably less useful since holding it will cause your hands to likely cover portions of the screen at all times.
I think the iPad would be totally fine with a notch sized bezel around the entire screen, eliminating the need for the notch.

I'm hoping or smaller bezels but no notch. No home button is fine with me. Apple, please remember it's a tablet, and get handled differently to a phone. Beside, for years people have joked how the iPad is "just a big iPhone", so please don't make it even more like one.
They’ve already introduced this with iOS 12 with the ‘alternate appearance’ which is assume would allow for a 2nd face to be added.
