If it's a useful data point, when I zoom (app) with the iPad in landscape orientation, I have to tilt the entire iPad to get myself entirely within the screen.

I suppose that orienting it in portrait mode might be a more "normal" tilt operation, but none of my awesome background photos are portrait mode. :-)

At least, in portrait mode, the camera is centered left-to-right.

I am elderly, if that matters.

And by the way, when you hold an iPad in landscape mode, the totally natural position for the left hand is over the camera lens for face ID.
