Ambient light sensor on new iPad Air 6?

I use my iPad in portrait mode, and now that the front-facing camera on the new iPad is in the landscape position, I'm wondering if my thumb is going to consistently cover the camera / ambient light sensors and wreak havoc on my true tone / auto brightness functionality. Are the light sensors still near the camera?

Proximity Sensor Visible Through Display, iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max As stated in the keynote address announcing the iPhone 14 Pro Series, the proximity sensor (and apparently the ambient light sensor) has been relocated to behind the display and not within the Dynamic Island. Can anyone else actually see the proximity sensor while either flashing a flashlight or directing sunlight to the area of the screen below the Dynamic Island? Or do I have a defect in my screen?

Front Facing Camera Fuzzy in Snapchat iPhone 13 I've had a brand new iPhone 13 for about 2 months now. I find that in low light environments in the Snapchat App the front facing camera makes my photo fuzzy and grainy. This did not happen whatsoever on my old iPhone XR. I've reported the issue throught bug reporting in the Snapchat App, done at least 4 app updates since submitting the report, but it's still grainy. Is this just an iPhone 13 issue, or did the Snapchat developers leave a bug in the App? Like I just mentioned, this wasn't a problem on my old iPhone XR.

iPhone Camera app Rotate button does not work (no front camera in any app) Hello, I can't seem to get my front-facing camera to work using the Camera app, WhatsApp or FaceTime. The Rotate button does not work in the Camera app. Could this be a hardware problem? The iPhone is fully updated.
