So what about the actual release date?
If Apple announces the iPad Pro 2018 models alongside the new iPhones on September 12th, you can expect a release date soon after launch. In-store release dates typically land the week after Apple makes its announcements. If that pre-order date holds up and the iPad Pro release mirrors the iPhone 11's, we could see the devices land in-stores on Friday, September 21st. There's also a chance Apple releases the iPad Pro the same day it makes the announcement (just like it did in March with the 9.7-inch iPad) or at a later date in September or October.
Either way, we expect the iPad Pro 2018 to be in-stores by the time the holiday shopping season and Black Friday roll around. Don't expect a release in late November or December.
