Even stupider for iPads because who even is using the back camera? Just get rid of it entirely and the device will be exactly as functional.
I use it quite often for scanning QR codes.
To be fair, the iPad mini is a way better form-factor for camera use than any of the big iPads. I think the only time I've ever used the rear camera on the 12" iPad was to scan a document...
I've seen asshats at concerts holding their iPads up to record. Bad enough when people hold their phones up, but this was next level.
WAT. Just because you do not does not mean you get to dictate how others can use it. I know lots of people that use the rear camera on iPads. I'm one of them.
A surprising amount of people use the back camera for document scanning.
