Ping!......................
Wow! Slimmer bezels!
Um, what’s a bezel?
Maybe this will lower the price on the older ones now.
Not a chance. They will be called ‘classics’!...................
The outside edge material. I foresee a lot of ‘bent’ iPads....................
iPhones have reached the stage of diminishing returns.
They have essentially been perfected. The only improvements they can make are marginal. A thiner bezel, better camera, sturdier glass or case, but no serious upgrades.
Few would find any substantial difference between a 3 year old iPhone 8 and the the current model. Certainly not enough to cause them to fork out a grand to upgrade.
What’s the first think most people do when they buy an iPad?
Put it in a case.
Yes, so now they’ll have to buy reinforced cases................
I have a dedicated iPad Air that I’ve used with an Apple TV to stream in HD to a 47 inch TV for the last 5 years. Get everything you can buy from cable companies...any sport, any team, hbo, showtime etc, movies the same time they’re released to theaters. Buy a good WiFi speaker and use your iPad Air as a music library...outside lounging. I save $150 mo + or $1800 year and 5y is nearly 10k savings. A new updated IPad Air for $6-800, is a bargain.
“Um, what’s a bezel?”
It’s a little bit like an aura, Horshack.
I use a Samsung active, which is a “rugged” phone that has thicker glass and a reinforced body—no need for a case.
I get asked: how can you use a phone that is so thick and bulky.
I just look at their “slim, sleek” phone that’s in a protective case that’s literally twice as thick and bulky and shake my head.
I don’t understand the trend of making thinner devices that are so delicate they require a protective case, but that is the trend.
“Wi-Fi models will start at $599...”
That’s a new one. Apple has held this level device at $499 for years. I guess the lesser iPad below it will become the $499 one now?
Who would want an iPad without WiFi?...........................

All iPads have Wi-Fi. Some models also have cellular connectivity in addition to the Wi-Fi.

It does to a certain extent. . . But even five or six year old Apple products hold their value. However, the lowest priced brand new iPad is just $329.
I certainly do. I’m not going to take a chance on breaking such an expensive device. Besides, with a case, they are easier to prop up on a lap or even in bed when reading a novel, watching a movie, or researching.
