The iPad lineup now features a landscape front-facing camera across models, with the iPad mini completing the transition.

Apple hints at related product news and events, including OLED displays for a MacBook Pro and iPad mini launches anticipated around late October 2026, and an October 28 media launch invite for related products.

The relocation of the front-facing camera to a landscape orientation aims to provide a more natural perspective for video calls when the device is used horizontally.

This shift began with the 10th-generation iPad in 2022, continued with the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro in 2024, and has now completed with the iPad mini.

A 12-megapixel Center Stage camera is placed along the landscape edge to improve video calls when the iPad is held in landscape mode.
