Remember when early iPhones had those chunky bezels all around? That was Apple‘s thing for quite some time but the company slowly started slimming bezels down, and now the latest iPhone 14 series is basically all screen. However, rumor has it that the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max will up the ante further and feature a display with the thinnest bezels ever seen on a smartphone. Here are the details.
The information comes through Ice Universe, a reputed tipster with a penchant for ultra-thin bezels. According to The Cat, Apple’s upcoming flagship smartphone will boast impressively thin bezels measuring only 1.55mm – a significant reduction from the current iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 2.17mm borders. This would set a new record for the thinnest bezels on a smartphone, currently held by the Xiaomi 13 with 1.81mm bezels. By way of comparison, the Galaxy 22 and S23 have bezels that measure around 1.95mm.
This is arguably an interesting upgrade, but should you actually care about “ultra-thin” bezels? It is definitely a matter of personal preference. One can argue that the existing iPhone models already have slim-enough borders and a further reduction may not really affect the user experience.
While Ice Universe specifically mentions the Pro Max model, recently leaked renders suggest thinner bezels on the smaller iPhone 15 Pro as well. The two phones will continue to use the Dynamic Island design with a centered pill-shaped punch hole. Additionally, the design may also make its way to the vanilla iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. They may also flaunt a Dynamic Island but lack ProMotion and AOD features.
