How Do I Know What Generation My iPad Is?
When Apple releases an update or an accessory, they specify which iPad models and generations are eligible.

That isnt any help if you dont remember which one you own.
If you better double-check which gadget you have, heres where to look:
Open theSettingsapp, then tapGeneral.
The generation is listed next toModel Name.

Some iPad models, like the iPad Pro 11, dont include a generation number beside the model name.

Scroll all the way down.
The date your iPad was sold is listed in YYYY-MM-DD format.
