The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has added nine iPad models to its regulatory database, which are most likely variants of the announced 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Shortly before the start of pre-orders for Apple's latest 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, nine variants were listed in a regulatory database. The model numbers A2377, A2378, A2567, A2588, A2602, A2568, A2569, A2589 and A2604 now appear in the records of the EEC It's unlikely that any of these model numbers are unannounced devices. Given the nature of the regulatory database, it's more likely that each individual model number represents a configuration of the announced iPad Pro. Curiously, however, the EEC database has divided the model numbers into two sections - with five variants in one, four in the other. It's likely that each section represents an overall model.

According to this, the list likely includes the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, as well as the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+Cellular variants. Of course, the storage capacities also vary. However, it remains unclear why one model has fewer variants. None of the entries contain any details other than (in translation) "Apple tablet models" and a note that they run "iPadOS software version 14." All Apple devices must be listed in the EEC database before they can be approved. It's unusual for them to be listed so close to a release and after their announcement. This process is usually carried out many weeks and sometimes even months in advance. Also newly listed are Apple's long-discontinued AirPort Express models. Here, too, it remains unclear why they were submitted to the EEC. However, it could be related to a possible software update that could slightly alter radio frequency performance. (Image: Apple)
