Apple appears to be readying new iPad Pro devices with a triple-camera system on the rear similar to the iPhone 11 Pro. Rumors of the triple-camera iPad system first emerged earlier this year, and now Sonny Dickson is revealing what that might look like ahead of Apple’s rumored October event. The rear of the new iPad Pro includes a triple-camera housing that looks very similar to the one found on the iPhone 11 Pro, and the device is reportedly a “final design mockup.” Dickson previously revealed iPhone 11 case renders earlier this year.
Based on a “final design mockup,” the iPad Pro will have a triple-camera setup in the top-left corner, similar to the divisive housing on the iPhone 11 Pro. If the leaked image is legit, then get ready for the barrage of criticism about the appearance of the square-shaped camera module. For those who care more about practicality than aesthetics, the three-camera setup could enable 4K video so iPad Pro users can shoot and edit high-res videos directly from their tablet.
We first heard about a triple-camera setup on the upcoming iPad Pro back in August from Japanese supply chain source Mac Otakara. If the rumors are true, the iPad Pro could have the same imaging capabilities as the new iPhone 11 Pro, which our sister site Tom’s Guide considers “a new benchmark in low light.” That wouldn’t be a huge surprise, because Bloomberg had already reported in August that the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will get “similar upgrades to the iPhones, gaining upgraded cameras and faster processors.”
The iPad Pro isn’t the only device we expect from Apple next month. At the top of our most-wanted list is the hotly-anticipated 16-inch MacBook Pro, which will be the first of its kind. We also expect Apple to refresh the iPad mini and iPad Air and finish rounding out its tablet lineup after the company updated the entry-level iPad earlier this month.
Apple hasn’t yet sent invitations to its Mac event but we will keep you updated.
