For months, the 2020 iPad Pro was set to launch in March However, new reports are several reasons to think we may be waiting longer for Apple's high-end tablet

The event, which was also scheduled to unveil the iPhone 9, was canceled because Apple executives were "concerned" about the large turnout of some 1,000 media representatives from around the world The event was to have been held at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, California This was a bit of a surprise, since media events usually draw hundreds of reporters elbow to elbow into the auditorium

This led our sister site TechRadar to speculate that the iPad Pro and iPhone 9 events could be held later this year, in Q4 (October to December) Their logic? Apple wants to keep with tradition and not get in the way of the highly anticipated iPhone 12 launch event
