The next iPad Air and iPad Pro will take over a function from the regular iPad. This will soon change!
New iPad Air and Pro get functions of regular iPad
The rumors about the iPad Air and the iPad Pro seem to be slowly gaining momentum. According to various reports, the next iPad Air and the iPad Pro will soon take over a function that has so far only been found on the latest regular iPad.
According to a post on Weibo (a kind of Chinese X / Twitter) will move the front camera on the iPad Air and the iPad Pro. The iPad 2022 is the only iPad where the camera has already been moved.
The camera on the iPaid Air 2024 and the iPad Pro 2024 then moves from the short side to the long side of the tablet. When you hold the iPad horizontally, the camera is at the top (or bottom) of the screen.
The fact that rumors now say that the camera will move on the iPad Air and the iPad Pro is due to programming code in iOS 17.4. In this code, instructions were found that the iPad must be held horizontally while setting up Face ID, so that the camera is at the top of the screen.
Placing the camera in a different location also has advantages. When you use the iPad Air 2024 or iPad Pro 2024 with a Magic Keyboard, the camera will now be at the top of the screen. If you do this with the current iPad Air or Pro, the camera is on the side of the screen.
There is a chance that the new location of the camera on the iPad Air and Pro will result in another function being adjusted. With the iPad Air and the Pro you have to charge the Apple Pencil 2 by magnetically clicking it into place. Perhaps Apple will move the magnets slightly so that they do not interfere with the new location of the camera.
