I think at some point, we all thought the 2018 version of the Apple iPad 9.7 will come with a bezel-less display. Well, that’s not the case here, sporting lots of bezels including the physical home button which doubles as the fingerprint scanner. While the top bezel houses only the selfie camera and the narrow bezels coming out to play as well.
