A new report claims that Apple is planning to change the iPad Pro design to feature both its camera and rear Apple logo in landscape orientation.
Leaker Dylandkt’s track record has included accurate claims regarding the iPhone 13 Pro. Now, it is reported that Apple plans to alter a major design element on the iPad Pro.
The future iPad Pro will have a horizontal camera position and an Apple logo horizontally on the back. Apple will default to landscape mode for iPad Pro users. Although I am not sure if the next-generation model will include this option, it is being considered.

The iPad has always been promoted as a device that can be held in any angle, but it is not completely symmetrical. The iPad Pro’s cameras, at the moment, are placed so they face up in Portrait mode.
Users can hold iPad Pro landscape mode to snap photos, but there are some apps that have issues. FaceTime expects that the landscape orientation is used by default. But, it can be set to something else. Apple logos are permanently embossed in whatever orientation they ship in.
Dylandkt’s right. Apple will address this issue in the future iPad Pro. They also suggest landscape as the best way to hold it. The Portrait orientation is better for professionals and users using the iPad Pro to read books.
There have been no rumors about an iPad Pro’s orientation changes. They have outlined their expectations regarding whether or not the iPad Pro will gain MagSafe.
