The fourth-generation iPad Air has been linked to a new design that would leave it looking more like its Pro sibling. A leaker claims to have gotten hold of material that confirms this. It comprises what is touted as a hard-copy manual for the device - that, despite its lack of a home button, also makes distinct references to Touch ID for this upcoming device.

I fear that with the "updated" design like the iPP follows the "feature" of ripping apart like paper.
OTOH, if it proves that the iPA is far sturdier than the iPP, instead matching old models, then bodes well for future iPP releases.
Is it even comfortable to hold a tablet with such small bezels?
