Why is there an option for two 12.9" size screenshots in App Store Connect?

Question

In App Store Connect there is the option to provide screenshots for the 12.9\" iPad Pro (2nd Gen) and the 12.9\" iPad Pro (3rd Gen).

This doesn\'t make sense to

Answer 1

As previously mentioned, if you are adding device frames to your screenshots, the frames must be different. The 2nd gen has a home button, the 3rd gen does not.

Additionally, the actual screenshot from the 3rd gen has the gesture bar covering your app, the 2nd gen will not. I would expect Apple to refuse screenshots claiming to be third gen without the gesture bar, unless that's how it appears in your app.
