Description
Hi,
looks like my iPad Pro 11" 2nd gen is recognised as iPad Air.
the Pro 11 2nd gen should be tier 3 and this could lead to wrong assumptions.
I tried to debug the library but I don't know what to check, I've printed some data from deobfuscateAppleGPU() method (console logs and screenshot below).
I also tried to run GFXBench Metal as double check, and I get a different GPU chipset from the one I get from detect-gpu

Research direction
Start with the deobfuscateAppleGPU() method and the renderer/chipset data shown from index.js. Reproduce the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd-generation detection, trace how its GPU is matched, and verify that it is classified as tier 3 rather than iPad Air.
