Good morning! (Photo: Apple)Dan’s got the quick reactions to Tuesday’s Apple event covered, but I had a few notes left on the cutting-room floor that I wanted to get out before shifting out of event mode. It’s weird to cover these events remotely, rather than driving to Cupertino and back. I don’t miss spending all that time on Interstate 280, but it did give me time to think. Today I did most of my thinking in my garage, instead.

Center Stage is everywhere I’m a big fan of Center Stage, which debuted in the M1 iPad Pro. Using an ultrawide camera and some machine-learning-driven software to auto-pan and zoom your image for conference calls? It’s the best. The M1 iPad Pro has become my go-to device for family Zoom calls for just this reason.

So… you get a Center Stage, and you get a Center Stage! The new iPad Mini and even the new low-end iPad get the same 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, with a 122-degree field of view, as the iPad Pro, and the same hardware to drive it.

The question is, when is this feature coming to the Mac? (And can it come to the iPhone too, or does that make less sense?)…
