Microsoft is already done holding their most anticipated October 2016 event and it quite went as expected.

It was also said that instead of releasing the next-gen Surface devices, Microsoft will just be upgrading the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book, and this actually ended up half-true. As it turned out, only the Surface Book got an upgrade.

Microsoft's Upcoming Releases

With the absence of the anticipated Surface Pro and Surface Phone, it's safe to say that these devices are indeed coming next spring.

Needless to say, Microsoft hasn't really confirmed anything about new Surfaces yet. The only products confirmed by the company are Windows-based VRs coming from third party partners of Microsoft.
