Apple held a major iPad event on Tuesday and announced lots of new products and features. Among them was Adaptive True Tone flash for its newly announced iPad Pro. This is the sort of announcement that might not seemmajor but could be huge for folks using their iPad in a professional setting.
OK, so...what is Adaptive True Tone flash? It's a complicated-sounding name for an improved flash feature in the new iPad Pro's camera. It is primarily aimed at scanning documents. If you're trying to scan with imperfect lighting, or a shadow, the iPad's new camera with Adaptive True Tone flash should automatically fix it.
"Using AI, the new iPad Pro automatically identifies documents right in the Camera app, and if a shadow is in the way, it instantly takes multiple photos with the new adaptive flash, stitching the scan together for a dramatically better scan," Apple wrote in a press release.

If you've ever had to scan a document — or, say, your driver's license for ID purposes — you've likely run into this issue. Lighting in a home, or even outside, can be uneven and you need to scramble to find the right surface and light. Now, the new iPad Pro should fix that problem.
