Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro could appease fans of both landscape and portrait mode by including two front-facing cameras. That’s according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says Apple is adding a camera to the top of the device, in addition to the one it introduced lengthwise last year.

The last-gen iPad Pro swapped the tablet’s conventional portrait-oriented camera for a landscape one, making it more convenient for people who exclusively hold or prop up the device horizontally. But a second camera could make it easier to have FaceTime calls, take selfies, or unlock the iPad Pro no matter where you place your hands, as you won’t have to worry about covering up one of the cameras.
Along with the new camera, Bloomberg reports that Apple could outfit the iPad Pro with an upgraded M5 chip. A previous report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple could launch the iPad Pro as early as this fall, while reserving upgrades to the entry-level iPad and iPad Air by next spring.
