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

Lol, that doesn't make it a "failure". It had more to do with smoother use with the S-pen and manufacturing ease than anything else - as a display it was still excellent and far from a failure.
I hope super thin bezels doesn’t take away from durability of the display. My iPhone 13 Pro Max has thick bezels. And yes I’d like a bit slimmer. But this phone is also a tank. I’ve dropped it way too many times and it is still good as new.
Also at some point very thin bezels + a case with any kind of lip make side swipe gestures very difficult.
I’ll reserve judgement until I actually see the phone (assuming these rumors are even true). But I’m a little worried.

I still think the X was the best iPhone I ever had
We've officially come full circle, people now want bigger bezels.
Very nice, but I can't help but feel it's wasted when looking at that atrocious island, still can't understand why they didn't just keep it as a notch and incorporate it into the taskbar.
I can't remember the last time I used a case on a phone.
Yeah, I still remember how they marketed the iPhone X as having an edge-to-edge display.
I see the same "I don't care" blowhards are out in full force. These are the same people that "didn't care" when older iPhones had massive chins and the screens were ridiculously small. A bezel-less iPhone should have launched years ago....
What do cases have to do with Bezels? I use a case, and I can still see massive bezels. Smaller bezels means a true edge-to-edge screen experience and sleeker look (even with a case). Yes, people care about this. I don't get how this is so hard for people to understand, especially Apple diehards who have always cared about good industrial design.
Same, I remember being quite impressed when holding it in a shop. Was so far ahead of the competition. Quite surprised that they killed it and that people didn't like it.
Because a case still has to "grab" your phone and hold on to the edges. At some point, your case will cover your screen instead of bezel.
I don't see how this makes the device better in any meaningful way. It it "cool"? I guess.
But it reminds me of Jonathan Ive's obsession wiht making every device 0.5mm thinner all the while removing useful features and better battery life.
Nobody is going to choose the phone because the bezel is 0.1mm smaller than the competition.

There's no need to make a post like this
You're just stirring people up
C'mon - let's all be better
Beautiful device
I'd use an updated one in this style/shape and love it, today, if I could run it with a somewhat updated Apps/iOS
(app support is the real issue)
Google uses rebranded Exynos chips from Samsung. They suffer the same heat issues. About the only Google thing on a Pixel is the logo.
cuz it's not hard enough already to do stuff on the edge of the screen
Thats exactly the one I was thinking of too when I first saw this article.
Exact same thought
I have no idea how folks do the hand gymnastics on devices with "no bezel"
Wow. I was caught up with this stuff for a few years. Now I look at it and I can't believe how inane and ridiculous these kinds of stories are. "Set a record"?? Seriously who gives an actual f*#k? And if you do, why? Reporting breathlessly on every future Apple iteration is the lamest cottage industry going. Move on. More important stuff in the world.
