While Apple's latest iPad Pro with the powerful M4 chip brings several advancements, there's one notable change that might give users pause. The ultra-wide camera, a feature present in previous generations, has been removed altogether. Now, regardless of storage size, all iPad Pro models feature a single rear camera, flash, and LiDAR scanner.
For users accustomed to the versatility offered by the ultra-wide camera, this change represents a notable regression in features. While Apple emphasizes improvements to the remaining 12-megapixel rear camera, including better color accuracy and detail in low light conditions, the absence of the ultra-wide option may be disappointing for those who rely on it for their creative projects or everyday photography needs.
Despite this setback, the new iPad Pro with M4 chip retains its status as a powerful and capable device, offering a range of other impressive features and performance enhancements. Whether the loss of the ultra-wide camera is a deal-breaker or not will ultimately depend on individual preferences and usage patterns.
