Apple’s unveiling of the iPhone 17 Pro is less than five months away, and today a new render from X user kanedacane provides a fresh look at what the device’s unibody camera design might look like.

It’s the phrase that’s like catnip to many iPad users: iPadOS 19 will reportedly make Apple’s tablet run “more like macOS” including with upgraded multitasking. We’ve heard it before, and technically Apple has accomplished it before—though with mixed results. New products in the pipeline, however, mean that iPadOS 19’s success has higher stakes than previous attempts.

Update: Spotify says the issue is fixed as of 12 p.m. ET.
