iPad models and hardware

The Apple iPhone changed the way cell phones are produced and used. Similarly, the iPad, a version of the tablet computer introduced in January 2010, quashed the sales of notebooks. With the iPad, individuals can shoot videos, take photos, play music, read books, browse the internet, and do much more. Various iPad models now exist—for example, iPad Air 3 and iPad Pro—with different features and storage capabilities. More information on identifying iPad models can be found at https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201471.

As with the iPhone, not all versions of the iPad are supported for filesystem acquisition. Additionally, Apple changes data storage locations in iOS versions, which affects iPad devices as well. You must be aware of the different models, the released and currently installed iOS version, the storage capability, the network access vectors, and more.
