How to find your iPad's model number
You can find the model number in two ways:
-
Look on the back of your iPad.
-
Open Settings, tap General, then tap About. Look for the model number in the top section. If the number you see has a slash "/", that's the part number (for example, MY3K2LL/A). Tap the part number to reveal the model number, which has a letter followed by four numbers and no slash (for example, A2342).
Structure Sensor 3 will support the iPad (9th Gen) and it will likely work with other older lightning devices. However, we have not tested nor optimized Structure Sensor 3 to work with any older lightning iPads other than the iPad (9th Gen).
With each announcement from Apple, we begin exploring how to make the Structure Sensor compatible with each of Apple's newest iPad and iPhone models. However, we are unable to complete the testing process or give concrete answers on product compatibility until we have the newest model in our hands for testing. The full process usually takes a couple of months after the product is physically released for purchase.
