Whether you’re giving a video presentation for clients or keeping in touch with your family, the iPad mini’s new camera makes everything easier. The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera has Center Stage, a video technology that automatically pans the camera to keep you in frame; that way, you can walk to a whiteboard to demonstrate a talking point or show your parents your new apartment without picking up the device. The Wide back camera is great for capturing stunning photography or video footage: with True Tone flash, even photos in low light will look stunning. Shoot 4K video for professional-quality results. The back camera can even scan documents, perfect for remote employees or people with their own businesses.
