Background

Apple updated the original 12.9" iPad Pro and released the 2nd generation iPad on June 2017. Major upgrades include higher resolution front and rear cameras, faster processors, and an upgraded LCD capable of supporting 120 Hz refresh rate.

Identification

The iPad Pro 12.9"s are physically identical between the first and 2nd generations. However, the 2nd generation has a rear camera "bump" as a result from the upgraded camera system, as well as including a TrueTone LED flash. The rear microphone has been moved away from the camera area and now resides in the center near the top edge. The model number can be found on the back: A1670 for the Wi-Fi only model, and A1671 for the Wi-Fi plus cellular model.
