Last-Minute Leak Insists 10th-Generation iPad Will Feature Landscape FaceTime Camera

[MacRumors]

A last-minute leak has insisted that the upcoming 10th-generation entry-level iPad will feature a landscape FaceTime camera.

An image of a screen protector allegedly for the upcoming iPad was shared on Twitter by Majin Bu and shows a horizontal cutout hole on the front for the FaceTime camera. The repositioning of the camera was previously rumored by the Japanese blog Mac Otakara. A landscape FaceTime camera would be better suited for video calls when the iPad is attached to an accessory, such as the Magic Keyboard.

Apple is expected to announce new M2 iPad Pros later today, as teased by Apple CEO Tim Cook and the Apple Store going down. An announcement of the 10th-generation iPad, which is expected to feature an updated design and USB-C, is also possible. Stay tuned with MacRumors for ongoing coverage of today's expected announcement.

So uhhh the Pro better have this as well...

 

[FangRock]

This is starting to look like the iPad to have. I hope they keep the same pricing. Why pay more for overpowered hardware running exactly the same software.

Goodbye home button!!!

iPad getting a notch 🤣

Dynamic Island for the iPad Pros?

 

[Macropanda]

If the 11inch pro has this along with mini LED I’m buying instantly. That’s all I want over the M1 model.

 

[Digital Skunk]

Bring it. I think most people tend to use it in that orientation anyway. The cases all suggest it should be this way.

 

[Ferc Kast]

Doubtful that there'll be a landscape camera. It's always been portrait.

 

[dantracht]

This iPad is a day one but for me.

 

[bibby]

Hopefully Pro doesn't get that

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Well rest in peace iPad headphone jack. It was fun while it lasted.

No it's not. Those are cutouts for the camera and sensors.

 

[Sheepish-Lord]

So uhhh the Pro better have this as well...

Watch the Pro not get the orientation change but dynamic island instead, then the normal iPad gets the orientation but no dynamic island. Gotta sell the iPad somehow so pick your poison!

Landscape facetime camera? Just wait I'm grabbing the popcorn 🍿.

 

[MayaUser]

why this and not the bigger one....the bigger the display the more you are using in landscape mode

In before iPad 10 is now 20% more expensive.

 

[SteveAbootman]

Big if true. Hopefully this makes it to all the models soon!

 

[IllinoisCorn]

I think I’m one of the only people who uses their iPad in portrait mode 99% of the time and prefers the camera to be in portrait

 

[MayaUser]

30 min to go i guess

 

[darngooddesign]

There is literally no way that the iPad 10 will get a landscape camera if the new iPad Air and iPad Pros don't

 

[dlewis23]

Hopefully Pro doesn't get that

Hopefully it does. The camera should be in the landscape position. Few use the device in portrait layout.

How do you know that? I never use it in that orientation except for games.

Lol. Guaranteed. $399 starting price.

Store is down

I ALWAYS use it in portrait mode. Stop this nonsense.
