iFixit Shares Full Teardown of 11-Inch iPad Pro and New Apple Pencil

Looking at the Face ID components, iFixit pointed out that this is the same basic hardware previously seen in Apple devices since the iPhone X, just in "a slightly modified form factor."

So why no landscape FaceID on the phone? Unless it's down to the magic requiring the "slightly modified form factor."

Exactly! I am hoping there is a software solution. The lack of landscape FaceID drives me nuts.

Finally went to the store and picked one of these up. All I can say is WOW. The weight, balance, and form factor are truly delightful, not even considering the amazing performance (and ProMotion screen which is fantastic as usual). Same for the pencil, it's basically perfect now. They really did an amazing job with the design of this.

Totally agree!
