Apple’s iPad Air 6 and iPad Pro are getting some attention for a small change: where the front camera sits.
Before, iPads had the front camera in the middle, no matter how you held them. But now, with the iPad Air 6, the camera will move to the top when you turn the iPad sideways. This might not seem like a big deal, but it makes things easier when you’re taking selfies or video chatting.
Where do you want the camera on your new iPad?
According to the leak, iPad Air 6 will have this new camera setup. And it looks like the iPad Pro might get it too, based on some hints found in the software.
The upcoming iPad Air 6 doesn't seem to have a significant redesign, except for the addition of a new landscape selfie camera. According to my source, only one size has been seen, which is 10.9 inches. So there likely won't be a bigger size available. pic.twitter.com/xkjo4waNpO

Why does this matter? Well, it’s all about making things simpler for users. When you hold your iPad sideways, like when you’re watching a movie or playing a game, having the camera at the top just makes sense. It’s more natural, and it means you can easily snap a quick photo without having to adjust your grip.
So, while it might seem like a small change, it’s actually a pretty smart move by Apple. It shows they’re thinking about how people use their devices and finding ways to make things easier. And who knows, maybe this will just be the start of more cool updates to come!
What’s more?
First off, there’s a new chip inside, which means it’ll be faster and more powerful than ever.
But that’s not all. There’s also some talk about colors. While the leaker not sure yet, it seems like either blue or pink might be saying goodbye. Don’t worry, though, there will still be plenty of other colors to choose from.
