Contrast levels are fantastic but OLED screens tend to burn in. That is a flaw. (More so, if you always have the same icons on the screen.)
Got a tip for us?

The 13" model with cellular is even worse, like well into April. I think it's a combination of both scenarios tbh
That looks like a copy of iPad Pro 
Yeah, but we are talking about Apple here. Also, Samsung is making the displays themselves so they probably can do it. Do we know how good the display is compared to the one in iPad?
Anyway, if we got OLED I'm sure we would also get $300-500 more. Its already expensive as it is if you go for the 12.9" model so this would make it worse.
microLED is where we should focus but that is still years away

It would be nice to have some new product announcements to cheer us up, even if they are made via the website and not released for several months.
Since nobody answered, I'll answer my own question.
Apple Registers Two More iPad Models in Eurasian Database
Apple today registered two unreleased iPad models in the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) database, using the model identifiers A2200 and A2232,...

A2200 - iPad 7 WiFi + Cellular (US/Canada)
A2232 - iPad 7 WiFi
Apple Registers Five New iPad Models Running iPadOS in Eurasian Database
Apple has registered five unreleased iPad models in the Eurasian Economic Commission database today, including A2068, A2197, A2198, A2228, A2230,...

A2068 - ?
A2197 - iPad 7 WiFi
A2198 - iPad 7 WiFi + Cellular (Global)
A2228 - ?
A2230 - ?
There is also another one not mentioned in those articles: A2199 - WiFi + Cellular (China)
The new one is A2229, which is sequential between two of the other unreleased models, A2228 and A2230.
That gives us a total of 4 models listed which are as yet not released. However, I betcha there are some other ones too that haven't been mentioned, since there should probably be a total of 6-8 model numbers to account for the iPad Pro 11" and iPad Pro 12.9" (as in 3 to 4 models per size of iPad Pro).
I guess the other possibility is that all the cellular models have a global 5G chipset, meaning they would only need two models per size.
And the last point is that they are all listed to be running iOS 13, so their release would likely be before October.
At the moment, only the vanilla iPad is on an out of date CPU - the A10 in the 10.2" iPad 7th generation but that only got refreshed in September.
I can't see why they would refresh that after 6 months but the CPU they chose does seen seriously behind the times when the iPhone 7 is not sold in Apple stores any more and the AppleTV is due an imminent update from the A10 CPU in the 5th generation device.
The iPad mini 5th generation was refreshed in March 2019 but comes with the A12.
The iPad Air 10.5" 3rd Gen comes with A12 and was also released in March 2019.
Finally, you have iPad Pro 11" (October 2018, A12X) and 12.9" (October 2018, A12X).
Logically, the Pros could be updated now with A13X. The Air would be a tenuous upgrade due to recency but both the Air and the Mini would have to be updated at the same time to the A13 if they were going across the board.
