iPad mini features an all-screen design half inch bezel on all sides Removing the home button is not the same as making an all-screen design.

Well technically it is. The front is now screen only, regardless of the actual screen size. There is just nothing else on the front

    Do you not hold your tablets with your fingers?

You read my mind. I wondered if the pictures were accurate, since there was clear non-screen space around the edges of the "all-screen design".

I genuinely thought they were going to show the screen expanding to take up the full area. But nope. Just marketing-speak. Ugh

>> Removing the home button is not the same as making an all-screen design. Well, when the half inch bezel will be removed it will feature an "infinite all screen with really no bezel". Lately Apple has been pushing quite a lot of BS in marketing. I'm not sure if it's always been like that or I just started to "wake up". I remember when they announced the Apple TV 4K they made it sound like it's the first 4K device in the world while they were actually pretty late in the game. Now all I wait(hw-wise) is an iPhone with usb-c and, no glass back and better camera.

  >Lately Apple has been pushing quite a lot of BS in marketing Apple has been doing it forever. Right from the start. It is this marketing prowess that has made it what it is.

It honestly looks like any other android tablet out there now ... even the cheap ones. Ugh. Oh yeah but it's All-Screen™ now, so my eyes may be wrong.

All screen UI, not all screen front of the device. Er, apart from the edge buttons.... oh well.

Maybe you're just trying to catch them on wording, but if you're actually wanting them to make it completely bezel-less... I don't think you actually do It's hard enough to grip the previous iPad minis from the side, an entirely bezel-less tablet would have nowhere to hold it without touching the screen

  Of course I don't. What I want is for them to stop propagating the myth that all-screen designs are desirable.
