I think this applies to tablets but bezels on a phone are pretty useless.

Talking of surprise: I was ready to return our not-yet-dispatched MacBook Air (orderer on 20th October) as it only had 8GB and… they updated the product to 16GB! That’s neat, now I get why the delivery time was longer than expected.

You mean the iPad standalone and purely touch interface or with attached keyboard and mouse? Pretty sure that - with physical keyboard - Cmd+T opens a tab with focus on address bar, but I don’t have my iPad with me right now to test this
