However in the first image showing the iPad from the side there's a clear bulge, I'm assuming for the camera: https://www.apple.com/v/ipad-pro/p/images/overview/hero__b2q87exx6cfm_medium.jpg https://www.apple.com/v/ipad-pro/p/images/overview/hero__b2q...
So is it flat or not? It might seem like a small nitpick but I hate this trend of having a bulge for the camera just so that you can say that the rest of the assembly is like 2mm thinner. Who cares? Now you have something that looks and feels worse and you can't put it flat on its back.
I hope they at least engineered it in a way that makes the tablet stable when lying down on a flat surface instead of wobbling on the pivot of the camera bulge.
EDIT: Actually I just noticed that the bulge seems to be here in the first image, it's just hidden in the palm of the hand. Good job Apple marketers, bad job apple designers.
