Two zero bezel screen next to each other would overcome the crease issue with current folding phones. Just saying. The giant screen I've seen in a few Apple stores are 40 smaller, bezelless screens combined.
The iPad is a tough one, because yes that would look very cool but there needs to be someplace to hold it since that it how the iPad is designed to be used, and I would hate to accidentally tap things on the edges, which would happen if there were no bezels, so I just don't know about that one.I would love them to do that to my next iPad Pro (have latest now 6 gen 12.9). There is a quarter inch on all edges that could be used 🙃🙃
I would love that as well, I might be alone in this but I would even prefer the notch on a bezelless iMac, I like how the notch works on my MacBook Pro
Probably not but i have my iPad Pro 12.9 in apple Magic Keyboard case so seldom hold it that way, always prefered a real keyboard rather than screen. So not sure how typical I am but would love the extra screen
It doesn’t have FaceID. And according to Gurman, Apple doesn’t have the technology nor plans to implement FaceID on the MacBook. My God, how hard is it to reach a finger to the power button a few times per day?
iOS actually already handles phantom touches very well. You may not realize it, but even with the “wide” bezels we have right now we are still giving a lot of phantom touches with our palms or thumbs. I remember there was a iOS beta years ago that disabled it on my XS and I was triggering the bottom of the screen so frequently I had to switch how I held the phone until the next beta fixed it. iPads have also had this since at least the first iPad mini. You could hold the screen with a thumb or two partially on the display without any additional inputs.
It doesn't have FaceID because FaceID components are twice as thick as the lid.
Look at those ultra slim bezels on the sides by the Phone an iPod icons. We never got those slim bezels ever since.I prefer a bezel-less Display over a foldable Display for the iPhone.
Huge bezels to almost thin line bezels. We have come a long way!
Good to hear about this. Might see it happen when Apple launches under screen Face ID. Might be a few years away.
Dynamic island does not bother me at all unless I am watching a video which I rarely seem to do anymore on an iPhone or any smartphone. But yeah, I agree that display would look better without any of these things.
Can imagine how amazing this would look with the sensors under display which I’m guessing is what apple are aiming for. The 15 pros are already said to be the thinnest bezels on a phone this year
One Huawei phone had no earspeaker and the whole screen used to vibrate and function as an earpiece, I bet this idea will get recycled as well
Huawei's crazy new phone ditches the ear speaker and lets you hear calls through a vibrating screen
The Huawei P30 Pro doesn't have the usual earpiece and instead transmits call sound through the screen.

If the tolerances between the two screens were that tight, any grit would stress and crack the screen while opening/closing them.
