Apple released the iOS 17.4 beta yesterday, which will not only bring alternative App Stores to the EU soon but hints towards a new iPad Pro that has its Face ID camera moved from the top of the tablet to the side.
According to Steve Moser on X, code in the newest update shows a bunch of messages that allude to the iPad’s camera being in a different place to its usual portrait-oriented position. Lines such as “During Face ID setup, iPad needs to be in landscape with the camera at the top of the screen," are included in 17.4. With the iPad Pro being the only tablet with a Face ID camera, it’s not a stretch to assume that this message is meant for an upcoming, unannounced model, with a camera positioning shift.
