iPad Could Get Significantly Thinner Bezels, Leaker Says

I always wonder if the people clamoring for smaller bezels ever use iPads.

Palm rejection only goes so far - you do have to have some place to *hold* the thing without obscuring the screen.

I understand the desire to zero bezels, but when holding a larger than phone device, having the bezels there to mitigate fingers touching the screen is actually a benefit.

Honestly just give the iPad Air 256gb base

Excited for the mini for sure. Thinner bezels will make it more attractive.

“This just in, bezels could get smaller! In other news, water sometimes falls from the sky and fire is hot!”

Thinner bezels make the device look better but also makes them more difficult to hold, so we end putting them in a case which destroys the look but allows us to hold it. I am not sure whether Apple are making a device that requires a case by design or one that is supposed to used as it comes out of the box.

For what it is worth, I need an iPad I can hold without either stopping something working or triggering something I did not intend and is light enough to hold in one hand. It also needs to cost way less than $1k (USD) including tax (should really be around $500 (USD)). In fact it should not cost more than 1 Neo 😊 (tracking the 256GB/512GB and Touch ID pricing) . But we can only live in hope.
