I don't think its gonna make much of difference as far as content is concerned. But does this mean a bump in overall screen size. Meaning 6.9 for the Pro Max/Plus, 6.4 for the Pro and Standard models.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 15 Pro Max to 'Break Record' for Thinnest Bezels on a Smartphone

That’s not how this works, it’s already glass in the black bezel area up to the metal frame, this just means that more of that black space under the glass will be screen. So zero difference in durability, as long as they don’t curve the glass.
This is a tech site right?

I already have issues with the heel (heel pad?) of my hand touching the bottom corner of the screen. This effectively blocks input when typing one handed or reaching my thumb to tap near the top of the screen.
One would hope that Apple is anticipating this and coming up with a way to ignore accidental touches on the edge of the display.

The island is way better because the screen goes all the way around it, so after awhile your brain sort of fills in the gap and you don’t notice it.
I've never used a case, haven't had any issues at all, although I typically have some sort of insurance for peace of mind. Today's phones are already huge enough, I don't need a case adding size and drastically decreasing comfort. Most I've ever done was use a skin, but I don't even bother with those anymore.
This is what we call: "Apple is out of new ideas for the iPhone"

There won't be any lines, so no stress there
While that would be nice profit maximization requires differentiation.
After reading all of the comments, I think we can all agree that we don't care about this and it's a foolish effort for Apple to invest in.
Now it will be even more difficult for older people to handle their phones without accidentally touching something. "Whoops, what happened? It's gone now. I don't know. It just went away."
You know what would be nice? Make it so users could change icons, and theme the appearance of their devices.
How about an option for autocorrect for "Keep autocorrect on if I type a mispelled word, but DON'T chance a properly spelled and grammatically correct word to another word."
How about fix all the things that broke in Siri over time, like "call so-and-so on speakerphone" stopped working.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass." - This thin bezel will change my life. Finally my kids will respect me, and my employer will give me a raise when they notice my phone has the "world's thinnest bezel"
I think they should put their efforts towards getting rid of the pill. That's more intrusive to the display. The punch hole is much less intrusive than the pill I'd say, even if you disguise it with the gimmicky dynamic island.
It’s going to change nothing about its day to day use. And thinnest bezels. Yea I don’t see that happening at all. Maybe thinnest bezel on an apple device. But not on a smartphone….
Yea the dynamic island is the place apple send good ideas to die. The dynamic island is terrible. Makes games terrible to play, makes videos terrible to watch. It’s not a feature if it take functionality away. It’s regression.
I hope this leak is wrong. I want thicker bezels. I want places I can grip the phone without touching the screen, I want to use a thick case that makes it indestructable without covering the screen at all.
I thought this kind of impractical design left with Jony Ive.

I wouldn’t use my iPhone without a case so everybody is different. The positive from that is there is no correct method.
Apple are behind though as features like triple camera systems, and higher 120hz screens are seen on devices at the same price point as the standard iPhones. Apple seems to be deliberately making their standard phones appear dated in order for that differentiation to the Pro iPhones. It’s all getting a bit long in the tooth. Maybe they need to increase the prices of the Pro’s and actually justify this with premium features like they haven’t been doing recently.
