How does the Ultra Wide camera on the iPad Pro M3 compare to the one on the iPad Pro 12.9-inch


To compare the Ultra Wide camera on the iPad Pro M3 and the iPad Pro 12.9-inch, we need to clarify that the iPad Pro M3 models, such as the 13-inch version, do not have an Ultra Wide rear camera. Instead, they feature a single 12MP Wide camera and a depth sensor, which is not a camera but aids in features like augmented reality and depth perception[7][9].

On the other hand, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) includes a Pro camera system with both a Wide and an Ultra Wide camera. The Ultra Wide camera is 10MP with an f/2.4 aperture and a 125° field of view, offering a wider perspective for capturing more in a single shot[1].

Here's a detailed comparison:

- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation):**
- Ultra Wide Camera: 10MP, f/2.4 aperture, 125° field of view.
- Features: Offers a broader view, ideal for landscape shots or capturing more in a single frame. It also supports features like lens correction and Smart HDR 4 for improved image quality[1].

- iPad Pro M3 Models (e.g., 13-inch):**
- No Ultra Wide Camera: Instead, it features a single 12MP Wide camera with an f/1.8 aperture.
- Features: The absence of an Ultra Wide camera means it lacks the broader field of view, but it includes features like adaptive True Tone flash, Smart HDR 4, and digital zoom up to 5x[7][9].

In summary, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch offers an Ultra Wide camera for wider shots, while the iPad Pro M3 models focus on a single Wide camera setup without an Ultra Wide option.
