News about next-generation iPad Pros has been picking up of late, with Apple expected to launch the fourth-generation devices any day now. The company even briefly listed the new premium tablets too, confirming previous rumours.

While Apple is yet to officially announce its fourth-generation iPad Pro lineup, it has effectively already done so. Expected to be released by the end of this month, there had been rumours of Apple releasing up to four new iPad Pros.

As expected, these are two Wi-Fi and two LTE models, as the screenshot below demonstrates. Originally posted to Chinese website Feng and reposted by the likes of iPhone in Canada and MacRumors, Apple briefly listed the upcoming tablets on a Chinese support page. According to the screenshot, the four devices are:

Model Connectivity Codename
11-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi A2228
11-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi & LTE A2231
12.9-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi A2229
12.9-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi & LTE A2233

The listing not only confirms the sighting of four fourth-generation iPad Pros in leaked iOS 14 code, but also the A2229 that Apple recently registered at the EEC.

While Apple is yet to announce when it will be releasing its fourth-generation iPad Pro lineup, reliable Apple leaker CoinX has hinted that it is not that far. Replying to a follower, the account urged them to hold off from buying an iPad Pro right now.

It is worth pointing out that the new iPad Pros will not be a departure from the current models. While we expect Apple to include a new A13X Bionic and three rear-facing cameras, the design and other hardware will likely remain identical.
