Macs and iPhones aside. Am I going to see a new Logic Pro anytime soon?

I am thinking about buying the Logic Pro X this month, and I know purchasing won't get me a license when a new version comes up.

If I won't be seeing Logic Pro 11 soon, then I'd go for it. Otherwise, it is not the best idea to grab something while the new version is coming. Anyone?

I have been looking around for information on this and there is nothing tangible, at least not that I can find. I went ahead and bought X. It's a solid version and I didn't really want to chance a brand new release.

I honestly don't think you'll see Logic Pro 11 any time soon. For the time being Apple seems very content with releasing wonderful feature updates for Logic Pro X which have been very well received.

Logic Pro X 10.2.1 has new features and in my experience major bugs.

I think Apple will use X/10.x.x as the upgrade sequence for a few more years. X is a good brand monicker. I'm sure the upgrades will be somewhat comparable to whole number versions used by other DAWs.
 
Not sure, Apple's Logic Pro lifecycles started at 2 years and made it 4 years with Logic Pro 9. This would be the third year with Logic Pro X, which came to fruition around the same time that Apple changed up the UI, it was also necessary due to 64-bit architectures and improved multithreading. I doubt that it will get anything other than incremental updates for a while since Apple made the move to the Mac App Store and going along with the "Buy it once, own it forever" mantra, but at the same time you never know. Along with the incremental update they included new drummers, new sounds, and Alchemy, which is pretty big for an incremental update.
