Leaked icon hints at updated iPad Pro with no Home button, rounded corners, set for announcement at Apple’s media event in Brooklyn on October 30th

Sometimes it’s the small chunks of a beta that reveal what’s to come in the Apple universe.
In the case of the fifth beta of iOS 12, a discovered icon showed an iPad with no Home button, rounded corners and no notch, but it was a small icon designed to be used in the battery widget.
Late last week, a new icon found within iOS offers a more detailed view of the 2018 iPad Pro, which is expected to be announced during the Tuesday event in Brooklyn. This icon shows an iPad with rounded corners, no Home button and no notch. An interesting aspect of this icon is how large the bezels look when compared to the recent iPhones.

The icon also shows that the sleep/wake button remains at the top, which new iPhone models feature a side button that’s used to invoke Siri, take screenshots and shut down the device with button combinations. The presence of a sleep/wake button instead of a side button could be just a design decision for the new iPad. On the other hand, it is possible the 2018 iPad Pro ends up featuring a side button as this can be an unfinished asset.
As such, this provides a solid hint as to a significant redesign of the iPad Pro, which is set to be announced at Apple’s media event in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
