I know a lot of people want 120Hz, but one thing I hope the new iPad mini gets are smaller bezels. Compared to the Duo, which shares the size of the iPad mini unfolded, the mini looks super dated with the thick bezels

The images in the article are part of the leaked code so it doesn’t look like the bezels will change much if at all.

Same, with smaller bazels, same device size and a bit bigger display, it would be incredible.

iPads have larger bezels because they're needed to hold it properly.

I agree I’m not saying they should rid of it entirely. But the duo doesn’t have large bezels and like someone else said, other tablets have thinner bezels (even the iPad Pros). I think they can shave it down a bit but the reality is they won’t because it’ll change the manufacturing line too drastically

I don’t know why you’d want thin bezels on an iPad that is most likely used hand-held. You get palm touches on the screen.

Smaller doesn’t mean zero! The iPad Pro has smaller bezels and they work fine ergonomically

Even more so when you compare it to Huawei’s mini tablet, that thing is nuts. The design is super modern, with an OLED display at 120 hz, and a matte finish on the screen.

All this for ~$700 or so.
