French website Numerama interviewed three senior Apple employees about the new iPad Pro models that launched earlier this month. While the discussion...
Honestly I’m surprised they aren’t adding something that would allow it to rotate with the iPad. A second screen, maybe an e-Ink display, just to display the Apple logo, and the iPad can just send it a signal to spin it with the iPad screen. Make it a colour e-Ink screen and make it match your wallpaper.
Doesn’t really add any value but can be the beginning of iPads entering the RGB era.
Rhetoric aside, I can see why they’d do this. If you’re buying a 13in iPad, statistically you’re probably going to be using it in landscape, so it makes sense for the logo to be orientated that way as well.
But on the other hand, is that going to be a deciding factor in a purchasing decision? I highly doubt it. You’re not going to be looking at the back of the device when you use it. Plus if you use the Magic Keyboard with it, you don’t even see the logo anyway.
