The new generation iPad Air will have a front-facing camera in the middle of the right strip of the front surface, which will make it more convenient to use the tablet in landscape orientation. In this respect reports MacRumor’s publication quotes an insider who speaks on social networks under the pseudonym ShrimpApplePro.
On the current iPad Air, the front camera is located at the top of the screen, meaning off-center in landscape mode. As MacRumors writes, the new solution will be especially useful for those who use the iPad Air with Magic Keyboard instead of a laptop.
Insiders don’t expect the next iPad Air to have any other significant design changes. He also questioned the launch of a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air model. MacRumors doubts this thesis because many insiders before ShrimpApplePro had said otherwise.
The new iPad Pro is also expected to get a camera for use in landscape orientation. The text of tips when setting up Face ID, found by data miners in a special version of iPadOS 17.4 for new devices, points to this.
Apple is expected to introduce the new iPads in late March or April.
