Rejoice, iPad lovers: New Apple-branded tablets may be coming soon.

New entries in the Eurasian Economic Commission database, discovered by French blog Consomac and noticed by 9to5Mac, indicate Apple is preparing launch two new iPad models.

The filing contains no info about the new iPads except the model identifiers, A1893 and A1954. So what does this information tell us?

Well, judging by previous findings of this type, it's quite likely that we'll see these new iPads soon, perhaps as soon as next month. This is hardly unusual; for example, Apple launched the $329, 9.7-inch iPad in March last year.

It could also mean that these new devices are just a minor update of the current models. Ever since the iPhone X saw the light of day, there were rumors about the iPad getting a similar treatment: small bezels, no home button, the notch. But this particular device is expected later this year; that said, none of this is official information, and anything is possible.

This also doesn't mean there will be a full-fledged Apple event soon. Last year, Apple simply launched the new iPad without an event.
