The new iPad Pro from Apple might have a Face ID camera that works when the iPad is held sideways, unlike before when it worked when the iPad was held upright. Some special computer instructions found in iOS 17.4 suggest this. People who found these instructions include Steve Moser, who writes for MacRumors. The instructions say that when you set up Face ID, the iPad should be sideways with the camera at the top of the screen.
Implications of the Change
The idea of having a Face ID camera that works sideways has made people talk about what it could mean. One big reason for this change is that many people use the iPad Pro sideways, especially when they’re using it instead of a Mac computer. If the camera is at the top of the screen when the iPad is sideways, using Face ID will be easier for people in this position.
Technical Challenges and Redesign Speculations
But, making this change could bring some technical problems. Right now, the Apple Pencil charger is on the same side where they might put the new camera. This might mean they need to change how the iPad looks a lot more. People are guessing that they might have to redesign it to fit both the camera and the charger on the same side.
User Reactions and Expectations
The idea of changing to a sideways Face ID camera has made people feel different things. Some people like the idea because they prefer using the iPad sideways, and they find the current up-and-down way inconvenient. But, some people worry that it might be hard for Apple to make this change because of technical and design problems.
Future iPad Models
The instructions in iOS 17.4 talk about the iPad Pro, but some people think other iPads might also get similar changes. People say Apple might think about doing the same thing for the iPad Air, too, even though right now they’re mostly talking about the iPad Pro.
Anticipated Release
Rumors suggest that Apple might release the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models as soon as April. This means we might hear about these changes very soon.
To sum up, the idea of having a sideways Face ID camera in the next iPad Pro has caught a lot of attention and guesswork. While people talk about the challenges it might bring, many users are excited about it and are waiting for the official news.
These rumors come from finding code in iOS 17.4 and from discussions in the tech world. We still need to wait for Apple’s official announcement to know for sure. People are eagerly waiting for the new iPads to see if these changes are real.
