Doing its part to add to the iPad camera rumors, Mission:Repair, a company that specializes in repairing Apple products, claims it has iPad frames in stock, and they include a place for the same iSight camera used in Apple’s laptop computers.
“Upon opening them up and getting our hands on some of these rare items, we immediately noticed what appears to be a ‘spot’ for a camera within the iPad frame,” the company said on its blog. “We pulled a camera from a Unibody MacBook. Just a standard camera unit that we see everyday. Guess what, it fits right in there.”
Finding a space that fits an iSight camera in the frame doesn’t necessarily mean Apple is planning on surprising users by including a camera in the iPad when it ships. It could be a planned upgrade for second generation models, or the space could be there so Apple has the option of including a camera in future models without having to redesign the internal frame.
For now, the alleged sighting in Apple’s video and the space in the iPad frame piece will be plenty to keep the iPad camera rumors alive until the device ships in March.
