Alongside the new iPad Pro models, Apple also introduced updated versions of the Apple Pencil (called the Apple Pencil Pro) and the Magic Keyboard, which gets a larger glass trackpad as well as a 14-key function row for quick access to frequently used features and controls. Apple has also changed the orientation of the front-facing camera on all the iPad models announced today, with it now being positioned on the landscape edge. Both new iPad Pro models feature a 12MP rear-facing camera that supports Smart HDR 4. The rear camera also supports 4K video recording at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps, or 60 fps.
The landscape-oriented 12MP front-facing camera uses an ultra-wide lens and supports Apple’s Center Stage feature, which keeps subjects in the center irrespective of their position in the frame. It also offers features like portrait mode, portrait lighting, and Smart HDR 4.
