Apple insider Mark Gurman says that the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro will be 33% thinner than its predecessor.
If you’ve been a PhoneArena subscriber for some time, you might remember the bezel wars between the iPhone, certain Android phones, and Windows Phone models. After consumers stopped caring so much about bezel size (which happened around the same time we stopped referring to large-screened phones as “phablets”), bezel size has returned to the conversation, at least if the subject matter is the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Both premium 2024 iPhone models will be officially unveiled on Monday, September 9th and a previously leaked schematic showed a bezel size of just 1.15mm for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Samsung Display has admitted that it is working on a product that supports under-display cameras that remove all borders from a phone. This year, Apple is using a technology called Border Reduction Structure (BRS) to reduce the size of the bezels on its pricier handsets.
