iPad 9.7 inch iPad, 10.2 inch iPad, 10.5 inch iPad and 10.9 and 11 inch iPad are the same?

[Bubble99]

How can the 10.2 inch iPad, 10.5 inch iPad and 10.9 inch and 11 inch iPad be the same size?

Looking at the iPad side by side? Only the display screen is bigger but the form factor on the 9.7 inch iPad, 10.2 inch iPad, 10.5 inch iPad and 10.9 and 11 inch iPad is the same form factor in size.

The 9.7 inch form factor is just little bit smaller but hardly noticeable by much when you look at the sizes of all three.

I thought the 10.9 inch and 11 inch iPad was bigger than the 10.2 inch iPad but the form factor is the same only the display screen is bigger.

It seems Apple is keeping the same form factor but changing the bezels giving bigger display screen but keeping the same form factor.


If that the case future iPad may look like this https://www.applegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/macmag-550x285.jpg


But with very little to no bezels how do you hold it?

What is surprising about less bezels = more screen?
How do you hold it? Simply by the screen, as long as hand rejection is implemented well (it is on iPad, it is not, at all, on Samsung / Microsoft tablets)

@Bubble99 — Traditionally phones, tablets, TVs, notebook computers etc. have been described by their screen size, not the size of the unit. This has been industry standard for a long time.

No, having had the 9.7” and moved to the 11”, the 11” is a bigger form factor overall, not by much but it is ‘noticeably‘ bigger.

I hold it by the bezels well my hand rest on the bezels and some times I accidentally press the screen and the OS thinks I’m trying to do some thing.

So smaller bezels is a concern.

That happens to me like a couple of times a month. With Android it's a couple of times a minute. That is to say your are putting the hands on your screen to hold the tablet dozens if not hundreds of time every day without actually realizing it and only once every several hundreds time it interacts, while with Android or Windows it's every time. So I would said it's not really a reason for concern.

I think Apple keeps bullying / intimidating the same LCD supplier to make the LCD just a tiny bit bigger and change the same price.

I’m sure that poor bullied LCD manufacture is having a miserable time with his courtesans flying in a luxury jet headed to his mega yacht.

Yes.

There is still more than enough bezel on the Pros to hold them.
