Its been a while sinceApplehas launched a new iPad, with thelatest modelgoing back as far as October 2022.
That information comes from a leaker known asInstant Digitalon the Chinese social media platform Weibo (viaMacRumors).
The microphone array, meanwhile, will be centered at the top of the rig.
Why is Apple apparently going to make this move?
It all comes down tovideo calls.
Past iPads have put the front-facing camera on the top edge of the tablet.
Its a clumsy situation that could be easily avoided by Apple moving the cameras position.
Now, it looks like thats exactly what the company is planning on doing.
And if were being honest, its a long-overdue move on Apples part but better late than never.
Earlier in March 2024, Instant Digital announced that the iPad Air would also get aside-mounted camera.
A landscape camera is not the only thing were expecting in thenew iPad Pro.
Other rumors suggest it might come with a larger display, anOLEDpanel, an upgraded chip and more.
That could make it a sizeable improvement over thecurrent model.
When it finally arrives, it will put an end to an excruciatingly long wait for updates.
Heres hoping Apple puts that drought behind it by launching new models as soon as possible.
