12.9” iPad Pro 5th generation camera

Where is the front facing camera used for FaceID located? I don’t see it. When I open my iPad I get a message that the camera is blocked but if I move it a bit, it generally unlocks. It would be helpful to know it’s location so opening would be easier.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

iPhone 15 ProMax Front Camera Black Screen I have an iPhone 15 Pro and upon updating to iOS 18, I encountered an issue with the front camera. While the Face ID and motion sensor functions are operating flawlessly, the front camera is experiencing a malfunction. When attempting to set up Face ID, the camera displays a black screen. Additionally, if I launch the camera app, it automatically switches to the back camera. If I attempt to revert to the front camera, it reverts to the back camera once more. This behavior is peculiar, as I have never encountered such an issue during my extensive usage of iPhones. If anyone with knowledge of this problem could provide some guidance on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 15 Pro front camera black screen. Recently, I made the decision to purchase an iPhone 15 Pro as an upgrade to my previous device. However, upon updating to iOS 18, I encountered an issue with the front camera. Despite my suspicions that this may be a result of the iOS 18 update, I have yet to substantiate this claim.
