New icon in iOS hints at iPad Pro with no home button, slim bezels and more; iOS 12.1 with eSIM functionality could launch tomorrow

Back during iOS 12 beta 5, we have seen an icon that indicated the iPad with no Home button, rounded corner, and no notch. It was a small icon designed to be used in the battery widget. However, now we are getting to see more details and clearer look at the 2018 iPad Pro redesigned within iOS.  The new icon found within iOS offers a more detailed view of the 2018 iPad Pro, which we are expecting to be announced at a special event on October 30th. 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 and this could be because of how the icon is constructed, sometimes thicker lines are required for it to be “readable” at smaller sizes. The sleep/wake button is still at the top and the presence of a sleep/wake button instead of a side button could be just a design decision for the new iPad. However, it is possible the 2018 iPad Pro might still have a side button as this can be an unfinished asset. All things aside, we should know more details tomorrow ...
