Apple's Next iPad Pro Could Feature Ultra-Slim Bezels

Honestly at this point i dont know what more you can do with the Ipad Pro line short of outright turning it into a full fledge Macbook Pro, which with IpadOS 26, it will practically be.

its got the best screen on the market. Its got enough processing power to be a macbook. Once you add iPadOS26 to it and the magic keyboard to it, its as close as they are going to get to it being one...

I think its damn near perfect or soon will be. What else can you do with it? Faster Processor? its barely using the power it has now.

I think they need to bring in the rest of the Ipad line in check with it. The only other way i see them improving the pro line is if they made a mini pro!

FaceID and a 120HZ on a OLED Ipad Mini...sold. Thats all you need to do with that product line to make it reach perfection.

The damn thing barely has bezzles as it and what bezzles it has is for holding it. Its not like the original ipad which was half bezzle. There reaches a point where enough is enough

Hardware wize, idk maybe add some kind of haptic feedback motor to it, and a NFC chip which i still dont get why they leave that out...and thats it! To me minus a few software tweeks, the pro line is as close to perfection as you can get sans minor stuff
 
The bezels are not big deal, especially when compared to the bezels on the Air and standard iPad.
 
Every time I see the word "bezels", I think about Jeff Bezos. He's not fat, but yeah, I guess he could get even slimmer…

The same has been said about the iPhone, however when it comes out and you're used to it, the older iPhones look so outdated in comparison. I think as long as they don't do the curved edges, like Samsung did for a while, then the smaller the bezel the better in every situation.

You don't hold an iPhone and an iPad the same way. So while tiny bezels might look more modern, they provide awful usability when holding na iPad.

The bezels on my M1 iPad Pro are thin enough. With the folio cover it’s finicky at best to pick it up without pressing buttons or dragging something on the screen.

At least twice Apple has shown thumb rejection as a big feature at WWDC or an iPad announcement yet I haven’t gotten it to ever reject a thumb on the edge.

I never look at my M4 iPad Pro 13” and think, if only the bezels were slimmer and the screen grew to 13.2”, it would be perfect. As it is, if I’m on the sofa and have the iPP sitting on my legs or stomach, my pants or shirt already end up covering up parts of the screen, so reducing the bezels will only exacerbate the issue. I am of the opinion that the one thing Apple could do to dramatically improve what I already consider to be one of the best products they’ve ever made, is to improve battery lift. Otherwise, it’s very close to perfect…for me.

lmaooo I finally replaced my 2018 iPad Pro last year with the M4 and even with a discount it was a pretty penny

as soon as I saw this article I’m like damn they’re really gonna make me consider upgrading within a year or two?!

I for one would love if they reduced the bezels somewhat. The whole lineup looks so dated currently. I especially want them to get rid of at the very least half of the bezels on the iPad mini. And also make it have a screen capable of 90/120hz.

Well, for iPad Pro 11’’ users, that might be different, every bit of inch is a « plus » for me. And with iPadOS 26 bringing a menu bar, it could also make quite a difference.
Btw, I never had been bothered by my pants or shirt covering part of the screen. I try to avoid couch potato usage as much as possible anyway 🥔🙄
