Apple’s next iPad Pro lineup just took a major step toward launch. Six new Apple tablet model numbers have appeared in US FCC filings, strongly suggesting that both 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro variants are on the way, with separate Wi‑Fi and cellular options.
The new model numbers are A3357, A3358, A3359, A3360, A3361, and A3362. Based on recent leaks and the structure of Apple’s past lineups, here’s how they likely break down:
– A3360: iPad Pro 13, Wi‑Fi only
– A3361 and A3362: iPad Pro 13, cellular-capable variants
– A3357: iPad Pro 11, Wi‑Fi only
– A3358 and A3359: iPad Pro 11, cellular-capable variants
This wave of certifications arrives just after a video surfaced showing an iPad Pro 13 powered by an Apple M5 chip, reinforcing expectations that Apple is readying a new generation of M5-based iPad Pros. Apple last refreshed the iPad Pro family in May 2024, so the timing aligns with an anticipated annual update cadence.
Current expectations point to a launch later this month, though FCC listings don’t always guarantee an immediate release date. Interestingly, upcoming MacBook Pro models have also appeared in regulatory databases, but their debut may follow a different schedule.
In short, the puzzle pieces are lining up: multiple iPad Pro SKUs cleared by regulators, clear separation between Wi‑Fi and cellular variants across both sizes, and growing evidence of an M5-powered performance leap. With certifications in hand, an official announcement for the new iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 13 could be right around the corner.
