Yes, but the quality of the iPad Pro front camera is exactly what the Reddit post I linked to was complaining about... and I saw a lot of other similarly negative discussions online when I was googling it.
At best, the Studio Display’s camera can reach that level of quality. I personally have one of the new iPad minis with Center Stage, and I don't consider the front camera quality to be anything better than "acceptable".
- jmull 5y agoAcceptable isn't bad, so I guess we're actually pretty much agreeing.
- coder543 5y agoDepends on who you talk to. If it is barely clearing the bar of acceptability for some people, it will likely be considered bad by a lot of people. I don’t really think Apple should be striving for “acceptable” on a $1600 monitor where the webcam is a significant part of the marketing. Apple literally calls it a “sensational camera”. The display itself doesn’t even have any kind of local dimming zones or HDR at all, which seems like a huge miss for a monitor released at that price point in 2022. I played with one at an Apple Store a few days ago. I loved the build quality of the height adjustable model, and the screen was pleasant to use in that well lit environment (a relatively low bar to clear), but Apple seems to have worked overtime to make it hard to justify spending $1600+ on that monitor, in my opinion. There have been rumors of a Studio Display Pro, and I’m curious to see what happens there.
