iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 have exactly the same display width per Apple specs. The width of the active display area is 64.58mm.
You can also take the horizontal display resolution and divide by the PPI, which results in 2.54" width.

The bezels on the iPhone 12 series are now thinner than the XS or 11 Pro.
Wow very nice!!! Was concerned they were taking away my width screen real estate, that’s a no go. 😂
Dare I say it the iPhone 12 could be as comfortable to hold as the mini, apple really went to town on reducing the thickness of the phone, the bezels, they even managed to make the whole phone smaller. 👌
Back to the good old days of the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S. 😁
I know, I have the 11 Pro and am tempted to switch to the 12 now due to the lightness and form factor. I was thinking about 12 mini, but spoiled by the 11 Pro battery life and the 5.8” screen.
I loved my 5's edges. So looking forward to having those back.
Hopefully the 12 has better battery life than my xs max, xs max battery life is decent at 6h30m, more wouldn’t hurt though.

Correct.
The bezels have been reduced significantly on the 12s. The bezels are the same size on the 12 and 12 pros.😜😎

The 11 and 12/12 Pro are exactly the same screen size, but use different content scaling.
Unfortunately this means that the 12/12 Pro lose the split layout/view that the 11 and Max devices have in some apps (Settings for example).
Here's what they look like in the Xcode Simulator set to 'Physical Size':
iPhone 11 - iPhone 12 Pro - iPhone 11 Pro Max - iPhone 12 Pro Max

I wonder if they did this because the 12 mini uses the same layout as the 12, so they adjusted the layout to still be usable/big enough on the mini?
Losing landscape mode on the 12 pro is sad (I knew this going in), but depending how it goes I may bump back to the max in a few years. Working from home the last few years, I don’t use it as much as I used to For browsing, so we will see.
