Apple to launch M5 iPad Pro in 2026, report says it will come with two front-facing cameras

India Today5 days ago
Apple is reportedly working on the next version of its iPad Pro, expected to launch in late 2025, and this time, the biggest talking point might be the front-facing camera, or say, dual-front-facing cameras. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to add a second front camera to the upcoming M5 iPad Pro, giving users a better experience no matter how they hold the device. This move comes after some criticism of last year's M4 iPad Pro, where Apple shifted the front camera to the landscape edge. While many users appreciated the change for video calls when using a keyboard, others found it less ideal for portrait use. The new dual-camera layout is likely Apple's way of solving both problems in one go.advertisementThe idea is simple — one camera stays on the landscape side for video calls when the iPad is docked or used in landscape mode, and the new camera will sit on the portrait side for when users hold the tablet vertically. This also means Face ID will likely work more smoothly in both orientations, especially for those who regularly switch between using the iPad Pro as a laptop and as a tablet.Other than the camera change, the M5 iPad Pro isn't expected to bring major upgrades over the M4 iPad Pro, since the last-generation model was a pretty big upgrade over the M3 version. So, the design of the M5 iPad Pro will likely remain the same, with 11-inch and 13-inch OLED displays that support ProMotion tech for a smooth 10-120Hz refresh rate. Storage options will go up to 2TB, and users can expect the usual USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support. The rear camera should stay unchanged too, featuring a single camera sensor — probably a 12-megapixel lens — along with a LiDAR sensor and an LED flash.
If you haven't guessed by now, under the hood, the new iPad Pro will be powered by Apple's upcoming M5 chipset, which should deliver better battery life and performance improvements over the M4 chip, particularly when multitasking or using pro apps. While exact performance figures aren't known yet, the next-gen iPad Pro could be the first device to run the chip, with M5-powered MacBook Pros also expected later this year.Looking at the expected release timeline, the M5 iPad Pro will likely ship with iPadOS 26, which is said to bring a bunch of productivity upgrades. As witnessed during WWDC earlier this year, iPadOS 26 includes better window management, support for background tasks, an improved Files app, and even new tools for audio recording.More details will likely surface as the launch gets closer, but for now, the dual-camera setup is the most interesting development.

No hiring in India: Could Trump's new push disrupt tech jobs?

Donald Trump has called on Google, Apple, and other US tech giants to stop hiring in India and prioritise Americans instead. The statement, though not yet a policy, has triggered concern across India's white-collar job sector, especially among engineering and management graduates aiming for roles in global tech enforced, the impact could be sharp: from IIT placement trends to mid-level tech hiring, from GCC operations to India's growing dependence on global companies for high-skilled and Wisdom Hatch Founder Akshat Shrivastava said on X that the chances for Indian jobseekers are LET'S UNDERSTAND HOW THE HIRING WORKS American tech companies don't just hire from India. Some also build in India, including the Google, Apple, and Microsoft, all have large operations here, often in the form of Global Capability Centres (GCCs).These giants maintain a presence in India where professionals are at the task of building products, writing code, testing machines, overseeing global employs around 10,000 people in India. Microsoft has over 18,000 employees here. These are for operations across the has around 5,000 direct employees in India, and thousands more in its supplier network and development of these jobs are not for call centres or support. The core development roles, white-collar positions, are in play that attract graduates from IITs, NITs, IIITs, and even Tier-2 colleges.A pronounced number of these roles are built for India but are part of global projects. And yes, some top-tier students are hired directly to go to the US exactly the pipe Trump wants to close."There's no denying that companies like Google and Apple have long symbolised the 'dream job' for many Indian students, and rightfully so. Indian talent has been a major contributor to the global tech revolution, not just as employees but as leaders," says Neelakantha Bhanu, Founder and CEO of Bhanzu, and title holder of 'World's Fastest Human Calculator'."However, if such hiring freezes become a reality, it will be a wake-up call, not in fear, but in perspective," he says."The world is changing, and so are opportunities. India today is not just a source of talent, but a builder of global products," Bhanu adds. WHAT HAPPENS TO IIT AND IIM PLACEMENTS?Every December, the buzz begins: placement season. But behind the success stories, there's a truth not often told -- many students don't land dream IITians, despite the brand tag, end up in jobs that pay Rs 8-10 lakh per annum or less. Not because they aren't brilliant. But because not everyone gets picked by Google, Microsoft, or a US -- based startup with a fancy from IITs from 2023-2024 show that even in top IITs, 20-25% of students were still unplaced at the end of the obtained through RTI requests filed by IIT Kanpur alumnus Dheeraj Singh shows that nearly 8,000 students, around 38% across 23 IITs, remain unplaced in the year IIMs, especially the older ones, place most students in India-based roles, consulting, banking, and management BIG PICTURE: INDIA'S WHITE-COLLAR WALL COULD CRACKTrump's statement comes at a time when India is producing more engineers than it can absorb. Private colleges, deemed universities, and even Tier-1 institutes are churning out thousands of tech graduates each year. But demand has 51.25% of graduates amongst the graduates in India are considered employable, highlighting persistent gaps in vocational training and skill development, as per the Economic Survey turns out nearly 15 lakh engineering graduates each year, yet only 10-15% among them find employment, as noted in a report by has kept things afloat over the past decade is the globalisation of Indian tech talent. US -- Mbased hiring, remote work, global team integration, and GCC expansion have created a top 10% of tech graduates, those who would go abroad or work on US -- facing roles from India, may have to compete in a shrinking domestic market. And this creates a domino effect down the ladder."If US tech companies stop hiring from India, it'll cost them more than us. India has long been their strongest talent pool, from engineers to CEOs. Some students may miss out on overseas roles, but fewer than 2% of IIT graduates go abroad now," says Nishant Chandra, Co-founder, Newton School."Most choose to stay and lead from India. This shift could actually benefit us by putting focus on skills over pedigree," he SMALLER STARTUPS FOLLOW SUIT?Possibly. If the bigger players hit pause, mid-sized companies may rethink their hiring plans too, especially those who build for US clients or rely on US venture capital. And in India's startup ecosystem, perception drives could delay hiring cycles, reduce internship opportunities, and force more candidates to settle for lower Group Founder Ankur Agarwal, a top executive search firm, sums it up: 'These Trump rules, if enforced strictly, will definitely impact placements in IITs as the top US companies recruit quite a bit from these campuses for their US -- based tech development. IIMs are usually used to hire for India roles only, so they will not be impacted.""The real impact will be felt by the GCCs, though, which have become an important recruiter for top quartile tech talent. However, the actual impact will depend on how strictly companies comply with this directive and whether it becomes formal policy, as the US still faces significant tech talent shortages that make complete elimination of overseas hiring challenging," he NEXT?Nobody knows if Trump's statement will become law. But it's already a signal."Our institutions, our ecosystems, and our ambitions are ready. And as someone who chose to stay and build here, I can say that there's never been a more exciting time to be in India. We're not just producing global talent anymore. We're producing global solutions," says time to prepare is now, not just with coding skills, but with adaptability, global exposure, and maybe even a Plan B that doesn't rely on a Silicon Valley zip code.- Ends advertisement
