20th Anniversary iPhone's 'Liquid Glass' Display to Make Bezels Vanish

"It is not a traditional quad curved display, nor is it anything like the curved screen solutions we have seen on Android phones over the years."

Thank goodness, because those Samsung curved phones were horrible

Neat but why? How does this improved the user experience? What problem does it solve? Design is supposed to be “how it works” right? I mean I’m sure it will be super cool looking but, is that it? I’m also guessing screen replacement would be… tricky 😁

I'm okay with design also being about cool or beautiful, as long as it doesn't get in the way of functionality. iPhone slabs have looked the same for a long time - I'd love to see something a little different if it doesn't otherwise hurt the experience.

That said this is Apple we're talking about, but I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about this! 🙂
 
I absolutely loathe screens like these because putting a screen protector on is a pain in the ass. You have to follow the incredibly complicated installation process of Whitestone Dome.

Samsung just got done with curved screens a generation ago and Apple is going back. Hilarious

lmao this sounds like it's going to be a Samsung S7 Edge without the forehead and chin. how exciting. Samsung did this 10 years ago.

If this is all it is then consider me disappointed. I'll at least wait a few more years for them to fix the hardware/software issues that come with it.

I'd say "dropping on the edge" is less of an issue if the edge is round. There will be more force redistribution.

Of course, there will also be more glass on the edge than before 😀

I think this sounds neat. I'm holding on upgrading mini 12 mini for this one, if it's got at least as many cameras (unlike iPhone Air)

That was ugly. Now imagine removing the forehead and chin as well, then it starts making more sense.

Yeah it was a bad phone and I returned it. It might look better without any bezels but it'll still suck and get damaged more easily.
 
I don’t see this phone being worth paying attention to at least when it comes to design. Bring back the iPhone X design and call it a day for crying out loud.
 
How do you hold it? How does it have a case on it to protect it then, it'll obscure a bunch of the "features" of it. I don't need nor want a "bezel-less" device of any type. Bezels allow you to hold it normally and not touch the edge, intentionally or unitentionally. Why does Apple Design think bezels are a bad thing? "Affordances" are a thing in human interface design, and they should study up on them, since they sometimes understand but then also completely ignore them.
