Welcome to the community.


Nobody here can provide a definitive answer as to the future support lifetime of an Apple device - and Apple are unlikely to provide a specific end-date. However, in general, most devices receive at least 5-6 years in-life support for iOS updates.


As such, you might anticipate a further 3-4 years minimum.


Consider that the iPad Pro 10.5 has a high spec’ A10X 64-bit six-core CPU and 4GB RAM - a core specification that should keep-up with most OS demands for many years to come. In practice, end-of-support for a device generally occurs because the base iOS hardware-requirements exceed the capability of the device.


I hope you find this helpful.
