Exciting hints have surfaced regarding the much-anticipated OLED iPad Pros, along with a new iteration of the beloved Apple Pencil. These revelations stem from a deep dive into the iPadOS 17.5 beta conducted by 9to5Mac.
The firmware reveals four new iPad identifiers - iPad16,3, iPad16,4, iPad16,5, iPad16,6 - indicating variations in size and connectivity options. It's expected that these identifiers correspond to the iPad Pro's two sizes and connectivity models - Wi-Fi and Cellular.
