Thanks to this new app trend, your iPad’s camera finally has a reason to exist.

Taking photos and videos with an iPad has long been the subject of ridicule. But new app trends are giving the iPad’s rear camera new value. Here’s why:

Multi-camera apps take advantage of your iPad’s rear camera

Cameras have long been an essential component of iPhones.

Not so much on the iPad.

While the front-facing camera is great for video calls, Apple regularly upgrades the iPad’s rear camera as well, and there seems to be little reason for this.

It’s easy to think that using an iPad to take photos and videos is foolish. Sure it happens, but few people know why.

But recently, a new app trend has begun to emerge that makes your iPad’s camera more valuable than ever.

Multi-camera apps are a growing area in the App Store.

Spare iPad offers new multi-camera video possibilities

At their core, these apps offer the option to shoot synced videos across multiple iOS and iPadOS devices simultaneously.

Few people own more than one iPhone, but it’s not uncommon to own both an iPhone and an iPad.

So these new multi-camera apps benefit a lot from the iPad having a decent camera.

Whether you’re live streaming, recording home video, or even filming a big budget blockbuster like an upcoming movie. 28 years lateryou can expand your possibilities by having a spare iPad lying around.

Apps like Final Cut Camera allow you to set up multi-angle shoots that suddenly make your small “amateur” projects look more professional. Multi-camera apps are an important step in raising the bar for non-professionals.

Maybe the iPad’s camera will finally prove worth having.

Do you think multi-camera apps will make the iPad’s camera even more important? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments.
