Apple's next iPad Pro is reportedly getting a second selfie camera.

This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims that the upcoming device will have one selfie camera on top, and one on the side.

While that might not seem like a very important addition, it solves an old issue for users, some of which prefer to use the iPad in portrait mode, while others like it in landscape.

The iPad Pro used to have a selfie camera on top until last year's version, in which Apple moved the FaceTime camera to the side. This likely appeased the subset of users who do a lot of video calls with the device in landscape mode, but honestly, on a high-end device such as the iPad Pro, why not have it both ways?

Besides the new camera orientation, the new iPad Pro, which is likely to launch in October this year, will also have Apple's new M5 chip.

In the same post, Gurman shared some of his thoughts on the foldable iPhone, which is reportedly coming next year. According to the journalist, Apple won't try to break new ground with its first foldable phone; instead, it will follow in the footsteps of Samsung's Fold, while still offering some advantages, including a barely visible crease in the display, and an improved hinge mechanism.
