Apple is rumored to be adding a portrait lens alongside the existing landscape lens to the iPad Pro's selfie camera. This change aims to address user complaints about the current side-mounted camera's inconvenience for video chats in portrait mode.
Apple brought a lot of much-awaited changes to the iPad lineup with the M4 iPad Pro. If a recent story by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg is accurate, there will be more good news for Apple fans to be excited about with the forthcoming tablet. According to reports, Apple plans to significantly alter the iPad Pro's selfie camera this year. Along with the current landscape lens, the Cupertino-based tech titan may be adding a second portrait sensor to the most recent iPad Pro.
Why Apple Might Be Introducing This Change?
You might wonder why Apple could be thinking about making this adjustment. When the tech giant chose to move the iPad's selfie camera from the top to the side, several customers weren't very thrilled since it made it hard for those who used the gadget for FaceTime in portrait mode or for video chats.
Apple wouldn't want to go back this year since it only made the move last year, and by including a portrait lens in addition to the landscape one, it could be able to appease all sides of the selfie camera controversy.
