Apple's been leaving all sorts of clues about what its new iPad Pro will look like, but it's left a pretty big one in iOS.

9to5Mac spotted an icon in iOS 12, which shows a representation of the tablet with no home button (and thus Face ID), no notch, rounded corners, and thick bezels -- although this may differ from reality, as icons tend to be designed to be more readable.

It also appears that the sleep/wake button is staying up at the top, eschewing recent iPhone designs where that button has moved to the side.

Apple is expected to announce the new devices, which haven't been updated since June 2017, at a press event in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

The 2018 iPad Pro has been rumoured to have a USB-C port, rather than Lightning, as well as a slew of other announcement which we'll all find about soon enough.

Mashable will be at the Apple press event, so keep your eyes peeled this Tuesday.
