Triple camera and new keyboard
In addition to the display, the camera is another highlight. For the first time, Apple has installed a triple camera on a tablet that is similar to the dual cam of the iPhone 11. The system has a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera for taking photos and 4K video and a 10 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera for capturing a larger field of view. There is also a LiDAR scanner that is designed to precisely capture the surroundings. This laser sensor determines the distance to objects at a distance of up to 5 meters and enables new augmented reality applications. On request, Apple also offers a new “Magic Keyboard”. The dockable keyboard has a trackpad, a magnetic connection, keys with scissors mechanism, a key stroke of 1 millimeter and a USB-C slot.
