👀 Looking for the newest iPad Air (4th gen) or iPad (8th 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 few months after the product is physically released for purchase.
