Apple Job Posting Hints at a Camera in Future iPads

· by · iPad

A help wanted ad in Apple's job posting site suggests that a camera may be a part of a future iPad device. The Cupertino company listed a job posting for a Performance QA Engineer in the iPad Media group at Apple, and the key phrase in the job posting involves skills relating to digital cameras.

"The Media Systems team is looking for a software quality engineer with a strong technical background to test still, video and audio capture and playback frameworks," the company wrote in its job listing.

The iPad was announced on January 27th to great fanfare, but a common complaint from pundits and readers of Mac sites is that the device doesn't include a camera. This job posting suggests that a camera could be added to the device in the future.
