Just weeks ahead of a rumored announcement of Apple’s hotly-anticipated new OLED iPad Pro with M3 chip, new code spotted in Apple’s iPad software has confirmed the existence of four new iPad models, and firmware support for exactly that OLED display upgrade.
The news comes by way of 9to5Mac, which says it has found references to four new unreleased iPads in the beta for iPadOS 17.5. Per the report, there are references to iPad 16,3, iPad 16,4, iPad 16,5, iPad 16,6. The 16 designates that these are four variations of the same iPad model, i.e. the iPad Pro, and reflect exactly the configuration we’d expect to see from May’s rumored release. Namely, a new iPad Pro in two sizes, each with Wi-Fi and Cellular options, four models total.
