iPad Enclosure Reveals Space for MacBook Camera

iPad replacement frames reveal what appears to be a “spot” for a camera identical to that used in a MacBook, according to Mission Repair.

After unboxing their first shipment of iPad parts they noticed a familiar looking space at the top center of the enclosure...

We pulled a camera from a Unibody MacBook. Just a standard camera unit that we see everyday.

Guess what, it fits right in there. The camera slips in the frame, the lens fits in the hole, the LED that indicates that the camera is on, fits, and the ambient light sensor hole is also correct. It appears that the plans to have camera in the iPad is a reality. I’m looking forward to the iPad. . .Rev 2.

This adds some validity to the rumors that the iPad was originally to ship with a camera. Unfortunately, its still unlikely that a camera will be included by launch.
