2018 iPad Pro

I think it is when the supplies are low, but then again, they may keep producing them and market them as a ‘lower cost’ iPad when a new one comes out.

I’m not sure if the same rules will apply in Singapore as I have heard that in some countries and regions, since it’s about 2 weeks to WWDC, you can buy it now, then within 2 weeks or 14 days, ‘return’ the iPad and then ‘upgrade’ to the newer one, when it comes out.

At the same time, not sure if there’s any packaging and admin fee incurred - and of course, it must be bought from Apple directly.

you can also do that here in SG if you buy it straight in their orchard outlet... but must pay some penalty when returning it for restocking whatever you may have when returning it so long as its still at very good condition

Yes keyboard is a must, but I didn't get the smart keyboard.

I got myself the Logitech Slim Combo keyboard case. The keyboard is also easily detachable and runs via the smart connector also, and the backlit keyboard is a plus. The keyboard is also very light.

Hard to say whether will launch. Even if it doesn't announce during the WWDC, it will ultimately be out during the September/October Keynote for the new iPhones/Apple Watch Series 4.

Lol software is more important. Hardware more or less the current gen pros can handle quite well. Need better features... especially opening a few excel and word documents. Editing and stuff

The current Pros are speed demons. Software wise, current 11.3.1 is still buggy and since 11.3, it has corrupted my X's default camera app! (keeps freezing and sometimes will cause reboots)

Hopefully 11.4 will be much improved.

Yeah. I hope to see mouse support too..: so can play pubg or some steam games... also hope to have PS4 remote play compatibility. Maybe Sony can work with Apple ... allow controller support lol.

Doubt so as mouse support will also require a cursor as well, so it’ll work with some windows-like ultrabooks and you know, Apple and Microsoft don’t really go together.

The iPad also will not completely replace full-time laptops, or they’ll kill off their own macbook line.

It’s also hard to predict as macbooks/macs are the mainstays.

So high chance no new model according to multiple sites lol.

Fortunately I made a good decision by purchasing the 10.5” Pro last month as I thought this WWDC might not release new Pros.

I don’t think the mini will have a refresh, else Apple would’ve done it some time back.

The new Pros most likely might be announced together with the iPhone keynote event around Sep/Oct, or after that.

If you want to get the current Pro, just get it as you won't be disappointed. It's a speed demon. I upgraded from my ageing mini 4 and performance is world's apart.
