iPad Pro Again Rumored to Receive Ultra-Thin Bezels Around the Screen

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Apple Intelligence Redesigns iPad Bezels. Moves Them to the Back.

Cupertino, CA — In a groundbreaking act of artificial arrogance, Apple today unveiled the latest iPad Pro, featuring Ultra-Thin Bezels™—so thin, so advanced, 90% of them have been banished to the back of the device.

Because when you hand over design decisions to Apple Intelligence™, things get... ground breaking.

Using trillions of parameters, kilobytes of data, and the heightened common sense of Siri, Apple Intelligence determined that bezels were “visually disruptive” and “emotionally outdated.” So it did what any omnipotent algorithm would do: it relocated them behind the screen, out of sight, out of mind, and definitely out of user demand.



“This was the inevitable next step, never before seen in a handheld device” claimed someone who's salary is millions of dollars a year. “The front of the iPad is now 99.9% display. The back? 10% bezel. It’s balance. It’s harmony. It’s... what the AI told us to ship. Magic!”

Key features include:


* ReverseBezel™ Architecture — Finally, bezels where they can’t bother your content.
* Apple Intelligence Design Autonomy™ — Our AI read one Dieter Rams quote and started redesigning everything.
* Touch Confusion Enhancement™ — With no front bezels to hold, you’re free to trigger random gestures with your palms, knuckles, and existential dread.

When asked whether this was a good idea, Apple Intelligence simply replied:

“Based on 17.8 billion design iterations... yes. Also, you're holding it wrong.”

Starting at $2,399, the new iPad Pro is thinner, smarter, and more questionably designed than ever. It truly is the best iPad we have ever created, light years ahead of any tablet that has come before. And if you don’t like it? Apple Intelligence is already working on the next one—featuring bezels stored in iCloud (Apple One™ subscription required).

Does anyone make an accessory to snap bezels on the iPad so we can hold it again?

For the love of god do not put a notch or Dynamic Island on the iPad for the sake of slimmer bezels.

The bezels are fine as is, and shrinking them a lot more will cause issues.

The interesting question is where the entry level iPad will be in 2-4 years; my guess is that the iPad Air will be phased out.

I really liked the thin side bezels of my old iPad Air and I never had any issues. It would be a nice update but not enough for me to upgrade to a newer iPad.

Bleh. The panel is already too sensitive, and I have issues with phantom touches at the bezel edges, despite my hands/fingers being firmly within the black bezel (or at the iPad sides)

Instead of creating new and useful features, Apple is “innovating” by having thinner bezels. Whee.

Is it me or does anyone miss the old style ipads with the home buttons...not the Original ones...no those things were streight up picture frames...i mean the Air type. That was perfect design. it felt just right. This all one sheet of glass look feels weird to me. I almost never use my pro as a tablet unless i have to physically write or draw on it..it just feels funny to me like its too delicate. It lives in the magic keyboard case.
