Which boggles the mind… did nobody tell the software team that a release was coming?
Apple doesn’t have a reputation for letting engineers slack. I have to guess they are working like dogs to meet some standard before they are willing to release.
Can someone tell me how they're increasing their creative productivity with these outside of making illustrations?
I have a ton of ideas that I organize and illustrate, but I can't give up my pen/paper as I haven't found the killer combo yet.

I don't think Apple can simply delay an iPhone. There's entire industries relying on there being a new iPhone out every September.
Why is the bezel so thick? A 1-2cm bezel around the entire "mini" device seems a bit odd, given that the iPad Mini is a relatively tiny device and phones these days come with a 1-2mm bezel (10x less useless border). Is it a cost saving measure / sneaky margin increaser, or what might be the motivation? Edit: Touch interference is a good idea. Still, from the picture, it looks like the bezel could be half as thick and…

So that they can release a successor model with thinner bezels. In reality this may be to (1) to keep costs down and (2) to distance the iPad mini from the more premium iPhone Pro Max. All in all, this device leaves me wondering who this is for? iPads are mostly used for media consumption, no matter how Apple wants to position them. Not sure why this necessitates AI hardware, but perhaps people really start using iPa…

Screens come in standard sizes. It might simply be that they can't fit all the parts inside, including the battery, without making the device bigger than the standard screen size and so you get bezels. Bigger devices have more room in them and many of the parts are just the same size.

You know, you could just read all the other comments on this post talking about why they like the mini.

Lowkey wish their laptops would be as they used to be. Being able to swap RAM or hard drives is so basic but so useful.
Hot air rework is more accessible than ever. This video is kinda over-the-top breathless, but removing components and reballing new ones isn't rocket science. https://youtu.be/apEKAY11NQs?t=328
If that practice spreads to the MacBooks, you'll also need a CNC mill.
