New iPad Pro to have rounded bezels, no Home button
Apple is having an announcement tomorrow and we’re expecting to see new iPad Pro in two sizes, hopefully along with MacBook Air and new AirPods. Back in September we saw renders with extremely thin rounded bezels, later seen again inside a case along with FaceID.
According to a leaked icon from the iOS source, Apple will ditch the Touch ID from the new tablets and will stick solely to Face ID, just like its iPhone X series smartphones.
The icon showcased also a power button on the top side, while the volume rocker is on the upper right side. There is no slider key, but this is likely due to the image being an icon where details are not important. That’s also the reason the rounded bezels are so thick compared to what we have seen before.
The event begins at 10 AM local time in Brooklyn, New York, United States. There’ll be a live stream, so tune in tomorrow for more info how to follow all the announcements.
