Frame rate of camera

An interesting side-note is that the latest, 2nd generation, iPad Pro’s (mid 2017) only support a maximum frame rate of 30 fps with the front-facing camera (see table 4–21) whereas the 1st generation iPad Pro’s support up to 60 fps in most modes (cf. table 4–26).

It would be interesting to know the rationale for this step backward but I haven’t been able to find anything online.
