The next iPhones will have a different look when they hit the market this September, it seems. From different screens on some models, to a new strategy for its next-generation processors, more advanced camera lenses and a new thermal design to prevent overheating, a lot will change. And now, a leak reveals that the bezels will be even thinner, to become the narrowest in the world.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max: Will the screen for the iPhone 16 Pro be thinner … [+]
Is this even possible, you may ask? Current models already have very thin blank areas around the screen itself.
But in a post on X, Ice Universe, a leaker with a strong track record, has revealed that they’ve heard slimmer bezels are on their way. The post says, “My friend confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro will reduce the bezel, surpassing the Galaxy S24 to become the narrowest mobile phone in the world, which seems to be very close to the shape of the dream.”
As noted by Ice Universe, Samsung currently holds the record for thinnest bezels, but not for long, it seems.
The post only mentions the iPhone 16 Pro, but it seems very likely that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will also see a thinner bezel. We will see.
All of this chimes with an earlier report of Apple using Border Reduction Structure technology to achieve the thinnest border, something that was last rumored because Apple was said to have discovered that the technology was creating problems for pertains to yield. That’s because, as 9to5Mac reports, BRS affects the build: “The wiring and circuitry near the edge of the panel must be bent down to achieve this. This is said to have caused some production challenges during the production ramp.”
It’s hard to see how the bezels could get much thinner and, let’s remember, you still want to be able to hold the phone without accidentally activating the touchscreen. But Apple will be happy to claim the “world’s narrowest” crown from Samsung.
However, every little bit helps. If the new Pro models, as predicted, will have larger screens than before (6.3 inches and 6.7 inches for the Pro and Pro Max respectively), then the thinner bezels could make them fit more easily in the hand .
Not everyone is concerned about these things, and one person immediately told Ice Universe, “I will never understand this need. Never.” To which the leaker replied: “You don’t care about the frame, but if I give you a design of the Galaxy A54, you definitely won’t like it the first time.”
So here we are.
