We could finally hit the mythical ‘bezel zero’
The iPhone 15 rumors have given us a good idea of what to expect from Apple’s next smartphones – in short, refreshed designs, USB-C ports, better cameras and improved battery lives. But if you’re hankering for something more radical, the iPhone 15’s successors could bring bezel-free OLED displays, according to new reports.
The reliable Korean news site The Elec reports that Apple has asked its main screen suppliers (Samsung and LG Display) to develop «bezel-less iPhone OLED» displays for future models.
This rumor was also amplified by the phone leaker Ice Universe on Twitter (below), who suggests that Apple is also aiming to develop a «unibody glass body,» while at the same time using a «new type of ultra-strong and strong glass».
In theory, then, we could soon finally see the bezel-free iPhone that’s been rumored for several years, going back to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. Of course, the iPhone’s bezels have shrunk considerably since those phones, with the iPhone 15 expected to have the thinnest ones seen so far on an iPhone (apparently measuring just 1.55mm, fact fans).
But these latest rumors suggest that iPhones could soon effectively be glass slabs.
