Does the 5th generation ipad, take the crown as longest supported apple updates?
No. Among all the iPads, iPad Air 2 is released in October 2014, and stopped receiving latest iPadOS update with the release of iPadOS 16 in October 2022. This is 8 years of support. iPad 5th gen is released in March 2017, and is still receiving latest updates today, however it’s just 6 years since release. More on reddit.com

Are there two versions of ipad pro 3rd gen?
The reason for this confusion is due to the fact that the 11" and 12.9" iPad Pro generation numbers are not in line. In 2021, Apple released the 3rd gen iPad Pro 11" and 5th gen iPad Pro 12.9", both with the M1 chip. The M1 3rd gen you referenced above would have been a 11" model. Year | iPad Pro 12.9" | iPad Pro 11" | CPU | 2015 | 1st | A9X | 2016 | 2nd | A10X | 2018 | 3rd | 1st | A12X | 2020 | 4th | 2nd | A12Z | 2021 | 5th | 3rd | M1 | 2022 | 6th | 4th | M2 More on reddit.com
