In their latest update, Apple unveiled the beta version of iOS 17.4 on Thursday, introducing a host of changes, including the much-talked-about app sideloading feature, all in response to the recent EU antitrust regulations. However, it was the discovery of hidden details within the beta’s code that sparked excitement among tech aficionados: hints at an upcoming iPad model with a landscape-oriented Face ID camera.
The iOS 17.4 beta revealed tantalizing details about a new iPad model in the works. This upcoming device seems to have a TrueDepth camera, integral for Face ID, positioned ideally for landscape use. This design contrasts starkly with the current iPad Pro models, where the Face ID camera is aligned for portrait orientation, leading to awkward angles during video calls, especially when the iPad is docked with accessories like the Magic Keyboard.
Apple appears to be rethinking even the initial setup process for this new iPad model. Instructions like “Face ID needs to be in landscape to learn how to recognize you” and “During Face ID setup, iPad needs to be in landscape with the camera at the top of the screen. Once setup is complete, Face ID works in portrait and landscape,” have been spotted, indicating a significant shift in design philosophy. Interestingly, while the 10th generation iPad already features a landscape front camera, it relies on Touch ID instead of Face ID, suggesting that this new model could be a more advanced iteration.
The rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation about this next-gen iPad Pro. Renowned journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg hints at Apple working on redesigned accessories, possibly hinting at a fresh design for the iPad Pro itself. Additional rumors include the introduction of MagSafe technology, an OLED display, and expanded storage options for this upcoming model.
Gurman also anticipates new iPad announcements around March, aligning with the public release of iOS 17.4, as per Apple’s schedule. This launch window could be when we get our first official look at this innovative new iPad Pro model.
