The new 10th generation iPad is the first iPad model ever to feature a landscape front camera.
As rumored, the new iPad's front-facing camera is now located in the center of the device's right bezel. This means that when held in landscape mode or connected to accessories like the Magic Keyboard Folio, the camera is directly in the center of the user's eye line.
In the press release Apple says:
iPad 10: Camera hardware remains the same
For the first time on an iPad, the front-facing camera is now on the edge of the landscape mode. Whether you're on a FaceTime call or recording a video for social media, you're always looking directly at the camera. The ultra-wide front-facing landscape camera, with a 12MP sensor and a 122-degree field of view, supports Center Stage, which automatically pans and zooms to keep users in view as they move.
The front camera of the 10th generation iPad is otherwise identical to that of the ninth generation iPad, which is still available from Apple, with the exception of support for Smart HDR 3. The new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models still have a front camera in portrait mode. (Image: Apple)
