The iPad Mini Will Ignore Accidental Touches Near the Bezel

The iPad Mini Will Ignore Accidental Touches Near the Bezel

Posted October 23, 2012 at 8:49pm by iClarified
In order to prevent accidental touches near the bezel, the iPad mini "recognizes whether your thumb is simply resting on the display or whether you’re intentionally interacting with it."

In essence, you can hold the iPad mini while having a thumb slightly resting on the display, but still use it normally.

Rethinking the screen meant we also had to rethink the software behind it. iPad mini intelligently recognizes whether your thumb is simply resting on the display or whether you’re intentionally interacting with it. It’s the kind of detail you’ll notice


Hopefully this reassured users who were concerned about the thin bezel on the device.

Can they rethink the software behind the rest of their devices to do the same thing? I have this problem a lot when I use my iphone with one hand.. maybe i have fat fingers or something but the section of my palm right under my thumb has a tendency to hit the screen.
