This iPad Pro camera rumour may surprise you, but it makes more sense than you think
The latest iPad Pro, complete with OLED display, M4 processor, and support for the new Apple Pencil Pro, is fantastic. Five star fantastic, in fact, since that's the score it got in our review. But many power users have complained about the tablet's portrait front-facing camera – the one at the top of the device. Apple's 10th-gen iPad switched this out for a landscape one, which makes much more sense when you're video calling. But it was notably absent on the iPad Pro – until now, allegedly. According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the next iPad Pro could ship with not one but two front-facing cameras – one for both landscape and portrait orientation. It sounds excessive at first, doesn't it? But the more I think about it, the more I reckon it actually solves one of the iPad's most quietly annoying quirks. While having the selfie snapper in landscape orientation makes sense for Zoom calls or other productivity needs – it's actually more limiting. Angry mod, let me explain. While the portrait-oriented camera meant your eyes weren't centred or you had to put your iPad at a weird angle, you could still use it in landscape mode. You simply cannot use the landscape-oriented camera in portrait mode. Which sucks for selfies (yes, some people do take them), FaceTime calls, or moving around with the device. So, Apple giving us the best of both worlds on the next iPad Pro actually makes sense. With two front-facing cameras, the iPad Pro could auto-detect your orientation and pick the right camera to centre your mug – whether you're FaceTiming, snapping a shameless selfie, or trying not to fall asleep on yet another Zoom call. I think this would feel like a proper quality-of-life upgrade, rather than just another spec sheet filler. As for the rest of the iPad Pro, we know some other information already. Apple's expected to shove its shiny new M5 chip into this model, which should bring the usual generational bump in performance and battery life. The rear camera will also likely see a spec bump, and the new device will likely come with iPadOS 26 out of the box. The next iPad Pro is rumoured to launch later this year.

This year's awesome Apple student offer will gift you free AirPods 4
In terms of the best student laptop, there are plenty of options. But MacBooks are all over university campuses (and a lot of other places, too) – and Apple's annual student offer/back-to-school promotion is surely one reason why. This year Apple is offering a free Apple Pencil Pro or AirPods 4 earphones with iPads bought using the cheaper Apple Education Store (US/UK). And if you need a Mac rather than an iPad, you can choose between a free mouse, keyboard or trackpad if you wish, or opt for AirPods 4 instead. For either type of device you can also pay a reduced 'step-up fee' to upgrade to a range of other accessories, such as a Magic Keyboard or AirPods Pro 2. Apple already offers an educational discount on devices, but in late summer, the deal gets even sweeter. As usual, eligible students, teachers, and other educational staff can save on a new Mac computer (laptop or iMac) or on a new iPad. For example, you can get a MacBook Air M4 from $899/£899 – though it's always worth shopping around as selected retailers have been doing some great deals on the Air recently. The deal is available only via the education store and runs from today through 21 October. So if you're a student or teacher on the fence about a new Mac or iPad, and you've wanted to buy something else to go with it, now's the time to pounce. Of course, you can also customise your Mac through the store, too. In addition, you can get 10% off AppleCare+ to protect your purchase (unfortunately, down from 20% last year). If you're often carrying your gear to and from lectures and elsewhere after… well, we'd recommend it. Go to Apple's Education Store in the US or in the UK

Apple's latest iPad mini is down to a record low price for Prime Day, and still in stock
Prime Day Apple deals are worth checking out this year if you need some new tech before the school year starts in a couple months, or you've been meaning to upgrade some of your aging tech. As far as iPads go, The latest Apple iPad Mini is on sale for a record-low price right now — down to $380. This tablet made our list of the best iPads and we recommend it specifically for people who want a device with a smaller form factor. It's the only tablet that Apple makes in this size. Don't let the size fool you, however, as this is a full-featured iPad. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro and starts at 128GB of storage. We called it "reliable" and everything we "want in a small tablet" in our official review. The speakers sound great, which has become standard with modern Apple devices, and the form factor makes it easy to hold for long periods of time without causing hand cramps. It's an iPad, just smaller. There are a couple of little caveats. The display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, which could impact some action-heavy games. There's also no Face ID here, which forces users to enter a password or use a fingerprint.
