You may need to reconsider your question…


At present, there have only been two generations of the iPad Pro 11” - these being the first generation iPad Pro 11” and the current second generation iPad Pro 11” released earlier this year.


As yet, a third generation iPad Pro 11” doesn’t exist - and even if Apple are considering a further iteration of a Pro 11”, nobody has any idea of its specifications. As such it is impossible to give any indication as to compatibility of existing accessories with possible future models.


Also consider that the Smart Folio cover for the first generation iPad Pro 11” cannot be used with the second generation iPad Pro 11” - as the rear camera array (and associated cutout in the Smart Folio cover) have different physical dimensions. The Smart Folio cover for the second generation iPad Pro 11” is compatible with the first generation iPad Pro 11” - but the reverse ins’t the case.


Compatibility with future models cannot be assumed or assured.

Well, if you look at the section "Compatibility" at the bottom of the page I posted in my previous reply, you'll find all iPadPro 11" generations and iPad Air 4th gen.

For any further question about this matter, and for your peace of mind, you can contact Apple Support directly, using the link "contact us" that appears in the same page.
