iPhone 11 Pro Bezels of 11 pro larger than XS/X?

iPhone 6 user here. I’m ready to jump to the 11 pro but just noticed something: did they increase the size of the bezel compared to the X/XS? I know that overall the 11 pro has increased in size but the dimensions of the screen itself have not changed. Is it just me?

They look the same to me

I read somewhere that they increased it by some negligible amount - 0.1 mm or something.

Then you have magic eyes. I couldn't visibly notice any difference when using the 2 devices

I didn't notice it either, I just read that it had been increased by some amount. Maybe screen protectors covering the entire glass won't fit, or something. I got one of these for $2 (with the exact cutout for the screen for the XS Max) and I'm quite statisfied.

If it increased, they got bigger by an infinitesimal amount. Don't let that stop you from getting your new phone. 🤣 Just think about how much bigger the battery got. Now that's a sizable increase.

I'm having battery envy myself. *Sigh*

Sucks, but the battery envy is real. 11 Pro and especially Pro Max blow anything on the market away battery wise.

The bezels looks the same as on the X/Xs. If there's a difference, its minimal at most.

They’ve increased by 0.2mm per top and bottom bezel and 0.25mm per side bezel, as the phone has become larger but the screen size has remained the same.

FWIW, the glass dimensions are the same (0.01 diff in height), but the active area is slightly smaller on the 11 Pro (134.95 x 62.33) vs the XS (135.75 x 63.13). That makes the bezels 0.4mm greater.

Minor differences, and given the OP date, the phone has probably been purchased already.

Talking about the size of the bezels on the new phones seems laughable to me. Does anybody remember what we had for 10 years?

Haha, some what. I went with the 11 due to the oled screen bothering my eyes. But I was able to tell the difference in bezels. Maybe I have microscopes for eyes. My glasses are pretty thick as well 👓 🤷🏽‍♂️

I noticed the bezels being bigger as well, but you are getting a way better battery, so there's that. The bezel difference is very negligible, and to an untrained eye, it looks the same.
