I love my iPads, but given how I use them (largely in bed or lazily on the couch when the kids are hogging the boob tube), I can see the need to swipe to get to home being a major pain in my arse. It wasn't such a problem on the X...but then I've got pretty big hands for a short Irishman. Makes it easier to juggle all these potatoes.

Personally, I find slim bezels on tablets annoying. They are harder to hold without tapping or swiping by mistake.

I believe the original iPad had been designed with wide bezels for that reason.

Hopefully they've got some sort of software mitigation for that in place. I've noticed something similar on my current 10.5" iPad Pro. I'll occasionally touch an edge of the LCD while reading in iBooks or Kindle and the page WON'T turn.

I thought the iPad was already a "premium" product....?

Premiumer?

Mon dieu. One terabyte. Knew that was coming but....

According to live running commentary, "THIS IPAD is the ipad that they've always wanted to build."

I wonder how many times they've said that in the past.

Remember when "retina displays" were at the limits of what your eye could perceive?

Someone needs to turn these phrases onto a sort of MacWorld Expo Bingo. Or maybe a drinking game.

Is there an app for that?
