The challenge is, IMHO, you rapidly approach and exceed the price point of a similarly configured MB Air. Unless the iPad versions have all the same functionality of the Mac OS versions, not a slimmed down subset like MS did with Office, some users will need the Mac OS version as well.

I can’t imagine using my iPad with slimmer bezels.

Yeah, the way one handles a vinyl LP by the edges comes to mind, lol.
Maybe it's for the iPad Studio/Ultra?

I picture a touchscreen monitor, which I don’t think most people want/need. Also, a notch on a phone or Mac make sense since the space next to it is occupied by useful info…phone: network, clock etc Mac: task bar. You don’t have any of this on an iPad, which would render the space useless.

I'd be very surprised if Apple launches any iPads or Macs this year with M3.
I wouldn't. Isn't M3 coming this fall? The iMac and 13" MacBook "Pro" could get released with a new iPad Air.
I want something impossible, which is an iPad Pro with an M3 Ultra without a fan, or being thick. And the software.. It is getting better!

Wow six months is like forever. Try next year. The iPad mini 6 is due soon for an update by Sept.
ProMotion is coming, I hope.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I think 'sales volume' would be the answer to your question.

Just make the iPad square, problem solved, all issues with portrait vs. landscape go away.

I want nothing more than that (just sold my iPad mini in part because the screen refresh rate lagging behind all my other devices was annoying), but I think it's unlikely at this time. None of their other non-Pro models have ProMotion, not even their regular iPhone series, so I highly doubt the $400 iPad mini ends up being the first non-Pro model to get it.
I was really hoping that ProMotion would trickle down significantly faster across their whole product line, similarly to the way that Retina Displays did.
Ew no to both of those!

120Hz would fix the jelly scroll issues.
I think adding more pro features to the mini is fine, because it is a different size.

Now I want a Centronics printer port on my iPad.
pro ultra port 1 & 2 🤣

No multitouch.

I’m using the same, but micro-LED on an iPad is so far out that I’m pretty sure the 2018 will become unsupported long before that.

Still on my 4th gen 12.9 1TB model. Haven’t seen a huge reason to upgrade since I have an M1. I used to be in a roughly 2 year upgrade cycle. About the only thing I really want os a more wear-resistant folio keyboard. I don’t want the weight or cost of a $250 keyboard but I also think build quality has gone down on these over the years.
