When i check the new iPad Pro, i found it has only 11 characters for the serial number. Normally Apple has 12 characters for their products. Did Apple change to new serial format? Does your serial number end with GM4? I'm not sure if this is legit.

Mine has 12 letters ending MLL.
 
12

I'm sure yours is fine. Have you checked warranty coverage with the serial u have
 
I found no result when enter the serial info into chipmunk website. Please post here if you have serial number that ends with GM4
 
I got this:

"We're sorry, but that is not a valid serial number. Please try again."

Take is into an Apple Store . You don't want to run into warranty issues down the track.

One last thing, compare to another pro, you could have been sent an earlier pre-release model etc, these can fetch quiet a bit...

Edit: what is your model number?
 
I've just looked at 4 iPad pros. They all have either LL or LM after the GM in the serial number.
