Now when you use the iPad Pro in landscape orientation, left button decreases volume and right button increases volume. On the other hand, when the iPad Pro is in a vertical position, this function of the buttons is reversed.

That is, the volume control buttons work one way in portrait orientation and another in landscape orientation.
