iOS 17.4 hints that Apple might finally put a landscape Face ID camera on an iPad Pro

IPad Pro 12.9 (2022) on table.

The iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) is Apple’s most high-end tablet, and yet in one way it’s a worse tablet than the entry-level iPad 10.9 (2022), as its front-facing camera is on the narrow edge, meaning it’s off to the side in landscape orientation – which is the orientation it will usually be in for video calls, or when a keyboard is attached.

That’s not ideal, but it’s something Apple might look to address with a future model, as 9to5Mac has seen code in internal iOS 17.4 beta files which suggests Apple has been working on a Face ID-enabled camera that would sit at the top when a tablet is in landscape orientation.
