iOS 26 Liquid Glass Design Could Signal Future Bezel-Free iPhone

Probably. Though recent rumors point to an all glass iPhone releasing only after 2027 as FaceID and under screen camera might not be ready by then. Eagerly looking forward to hearing more about it!!

It will be like Apple Watch Series 7 screen, build on the iPhone Air chasis.

The bezels are too thin now. The amount of times I find my screen "unresponsive" only to realize a part of my hand that is holding the phone has folded around front and is just a mm over the bezel and touching the screen is maddening. And I know I am about to get hit with "you're holding it wrong", to which I say, it's the same way I have held it since iPhone 3G. Also, if a design is so delicate it can only be held in one exacting manner, it is a poor compromise of a design.

If the bezel is thin , you can make it thicker (with a case for example). But if it is thick, you cant make it thinner.

As long as Apple don't put icons/buttons right near the edge of the screen.

I wonder how good touchscreen sensitivity at the edge of a wrapped screen would be. Right now it is so cr@p that I seriously think developers should be banned from putting controls or keys near the edge of the screen, but I could imagine in a wrapped screen a lot of false presses would be registered as the edge of the bumps up against the inside of a pocket etc. Already I have issues with mechanical side buttons being activated be accident - even with a case. I also wonder how a wrapped screen be affected by a case.
