When viewing a presentation on certain iPads, black bars may appear on the sides of the presentations.

This is because for iPad, presentations are scaled to a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is the most common aspect ratio for iPads.

Here is the list of iPads where you will see black bars when presenting:

iPad

iPad Mini 6 (2021)

3:2

iPad Pro 11β€³ (2018-2022)

10:7

iPad 10 (2022)
