New leaks suggest the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro could have bezels even thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S24.
Appleupdates the iPhones during its fall event every year. While this year’s launch event is still months away, fresh details on the design of theiPhone 16 Promodels have been leaked.
IceUniverse, known for his credible leaks,saysthat the iPhone 16 Pro variants will have extremely thin bezels surrounding the display, taking it closer to a “dream form” factor. He says the bezels on the Pro iPhone will be even thinner than any smartphone, including those found on theGalaxy S24 lineup.
My friend confirmed that iPhone 16 Pro will reduce bezel, surpassing Galaxy S24 to become the world’s narrowest bezel mobile phone, which seems to be very close to the dream form.
Another report fromPhoneArenacites aWeibo userwho got their hands on the upcoming iPhone and says that the iPhone 16 Pro’s bezels will measure 1.2mm, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s bezels will be just 1.15mm.
If true, this is a considerable achievement as the borders on theiPhone 15 Promeasure 1.71mm, while the bezel on theiPhone 14 Prois 2.15mm thin.
This is not the first time we’ve heard about the shrinking bezels on the upcoming iPhones. In April, areportfrom The Elec suggested that Apple plans to use a complex solution named Border Reduction Structure (BRS) to trim the bezels to the narrowest possible form-factor.
The report continues to state: “no company has stabilized the iPhone OLED production rate to the level Apple expects.”
The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max display panel is alsoexpected to be slightly bigger,and the thinner bezels will make the display more immersive and prominent.
According to furtherreports, the iPhone 16 Pro is rumored to measure 6.3 inches, up from 6.1 inches. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have a 6.9-inch display compared to the 6.7-inch display present on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
