alt Hacker NewsThe carousel 2nd image appears to have erased the camera to make it fit the marketing narrative? That's pretty bold.

Definitely an odd choice. Especially when two images later has it again

The usual narrative is that Apple are meticulous, therefore it is only proper that we assume they did this on purpose.

woah - that's pretty shocking to me actually. in the past they generally have just used flattering angles. This is downright deception.

It always reminds me of the imac from 15 or so years ago when they were touting how thin the imac was.
In reality the back was curved, and they took pictures from an angle that only showed off the edge of the screen and not how far back it curved

It's the top image on the product page: https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini/
I would assume, however, that they didn't "fake" it - that they instead chose a filming position and lens such that camera was obscured behind the edge of the device (the edge facing the viewer is the far side from the camera). Bit of trickery for sure though.
