iPhone 16 Pro Could Break Record for Thinnest Bezels on a Smartphone

Some lifeless Android fans too. The same Ice Universe mentioned here was screaming on his Twitter account for days when S24 Ultra was under development about how Samsung didn't reduce the bezel size enough...
No palm rejection doesn’t work in this case? Thats not what it’s meant for.
Let me give another example, you set a video playing on You Tube, you put your phone down and due to the huge screen you accidentally hit another video in the list that starts playing as you place the phone down, happens all the time...
First world problem.
Thin bezels? Yeah, like 99% of people will slap on a case with a bezel
It does not always work no, due to different angles and so on. This is mainly why people hate curved screens btw. If this tech was compelling, I assume curved phones would have been the de facto standard, and even Apple would have adapted it, but they didn't. Even Samsung has gone back to flat screens.
Lol. This is everyone’s “Major redesign.” We’re stuck with it for another 10+ years.
I already hear „Android had their Bezel-less phone 10 years ago with the sharp Aquos. Apple is alles late and copying android“ 🙄
Get rid of the enormous notch/dynamic island then we'll talk.
Ignoring the head and chin, look how thin the side bezels were on the original iPhone:
Oh, a problem we didn't have nor ask for? Cool, but I'm still going to slap a case on it because their too damn fragile. Make a durable iPhone and then I'll care. Apple is so tone deaf
Because of the notch previously and now the Dynamic Island my background wallpaper usually has lots of black. I’m looking at my phone now and I can’t even tell that there are bezels. If they shave another mm off or whatever no one will even notice.
I insist on always carrying a record-breaking phone.
I don’t use a case. Haven’t with any models except the curved edges from the 6 through the 11, which I couldn’t grip. I’ve dropped my 14 PM several times on tile here at home, no breaks yet. You can see and feel the scratches and small impact locations when I have dropped it. I dropped my phone even when I did use a case with the curved models.

I have a 13 and don't care. Does that count for anything? 😁
Curious how the curved display was a "complete failure"? I thought it was great, still own and use a galaxy s9+ with a curved display, it's a fantastic display.
He's utterly insane, and the same goes for "leaker" shrimpapplepro that gets used a lot on here, another obsessed with millimetres and thinks owning an iPhone makes him rich.
Wonder what deep issues they have with millimetres and wealth. 🤭
It's literally been dropped by Samsung on all their products and everyone else that had used it.
Failure.
They had that phone where the screen curved around the side, I always thought that looked cool.
