I'm in the same boat here...
I've heard some rumors there will be one in September but tons there will be one next year.
Are you guys going to wait until the 7th?
Thanks.

Yeah I'm waiting for the 7th as unlike Skaertus, I'm looking at the 12".

I believe they could upgrade the 12" to match the spec of the 9" (new camera etc) this year but don't think they'll upgrade the 9" until next year.

Part of me thought about buying one, then if they did talk about releasing one on the 7th, take that one back under Apples 14 day return policy but I genuinely can't be bothered with the backwards&forwards

Apple won't release another iPad this year when it was announced in March.

The 12" model wasn't announced in March. It's was last November. Only the new 9" was announced in march.

So this could mean we could get a 12" this year

The OP was talking about the 9.7 model and not the 12.9 model.

However all rumours have pointed to no 12.9 version this year. Will see on that but 2017 seems the likely date for both

Sorry my bad.

Here's hoping your wrong as I'd really like the 12" with the 9" spec this year. LoL.

I've got a feeling if they do upgrade it, it would be November anyways.

It wouldn't shock me if they upgrade the 12.9

As I feel Apple went to have them separate so they can market it better to get people to buy it
 
I bloody hope so, i'm sat like a kid at Christmas here! hahaha
What would the 12.9 need to upgrade though? I love my 12.9 pro and does everything I need.

This keyboard Smart Cover is the best accessory I think Apple have ever brought out for me.

3D Touch on the next pro? Not sure how they can make it really better

You know what mate, i'm not even looking for anything unique or some stupid ideas that some folks mention they'd like to see.

I'm simply after the features that they put in the 9". So for me i'd like the True Tone Display, 12MP photos, true tone flash, live photos, 4k HD recording, 5MP FaceTime camera etc.

Simply the better things in the 9" shoved into the 12" and i'm there.

However with that said, if they never put those things in the 9" back in March, I wouldn't be sat here having this discussion as i'd have just gone out and bought it.

So for me it's the worry of buying it now then them doing those little upgrades on the 7th.

I'm actually thinking of getting my girlfriend the 9.7 pro and it does look good in the features they added to it from the air. True tone display looks a very useful feature and I think would be useful adding that to the new iPhone.

I was going to get my gf the Apple Watch but think will wait till the price drops for when the 2nd comes out. Think she has gotten tired of just using her iPhone for everything so will treat her to the rose gold 9.7 pro I think to match her rose gold phone.

Plus I can use it when I want something smaller than my 12.9 pro ha

Sounds like you've got it all worked out. LoL

I love my Apple Watch, at first when I set it up on a Sunday evening, i was like "right, what do I do now.... what a waste of money" But then the following day, you don't realise how much Apple forces you to use it via haptic etc. Definitely wouldn't swap it for the world... LoL
