At last, Apple may move the iPad front-facing camera horizontally

A new report suggests that Apple may finally look to embrace the iPad Pro as a primarily landscape-native device. 

The change would shift the front-facing camera and Face ID sensor 90 degrees so that the components are best optimised when attached to a keyboard folio, such as Apple's highly-regarded Magic Keyboard case.

Future iPad Pro's will feature a horizontal camera placement and a horizontally placed Apple logo on the back. Apple will make landscape mode the default for iPad Pro usage. I have not confirmed whether the next generation model will have this feature but it is in the works.

Should Apple choose to go through with the revision, the move would be a formal concession that the company no longer envisions the professional-level iPad as a handheld media device but rather a more traditional laptop replacement based within the confines of a timeless keyboard and trackpad configuration. 

All evidence points to this being true, as after years of holding out, not only did the Cupertino-natives finally add mouse support to iPadOS, but unabashedly embrace it with the aforementioned Magic Keyboard case - which can be seen connected to the iPad Pro in nearly every single press photo the company produces. 

The leaker also notes that the change would also come with a rotation of the Apple Logo on the back, moving in line with the new camera system making the machine look a lot more like a MacBook rather than a vertically handheld iPad OS device (think iPad mini).  

For what it's worth, on the back of Apple's official Magic Keyboard case, the company's logo already sits in a landscape position.
