My hands are too porky for no bezels on the sides. Top and bottom though? Get rid of it!
People are going to be very disappointed.
This is why I can't stand that "iPhone X" concept. Why waste valuable screen space to include a virtual home button positioned all by itself under the dock apps?Removing physical bezels for blank spaces on a screen does what exactly?
Exactly why this awful concept would never fly in the real world.
Anyone who begs for this edge to edge display has no grasp of how much hand fatigue you'd get from holding the phone very awkwardly just to avoid accidental touches.
Also, people who want to debate me, count how often you rest your thumb on the home button / bottom area to help stabilize the phone, then get back to me...
Despite Apples track record recently, even they would not release something this impractical.
You can do it since forever.meh. Just let me choose my own mail, navigation, and calendar app already.

Its funny how these concept designs are soooo ambitious and in the end apple doesn't come close to deliver, maybe apple brings 1 or 2 new features that they keep talking about and hyping up and that will be enough to keep the cash-cow alive and the sheeps will buy.
True, but just because the screen is edge to edge doesn't mean the entire screen has to be touch sensitive. It's possible to have "virtual" bezels, an inactive space on the edges where the bezels would otherwise be. It gives the user the benefit of a larger reading screen without the aggravation or hand fatigue of holding a phone by it's edges.
yeah, I know that technology quite well. It's called "just look, don't touch"
What technology? The one we haven't seen yet because Apple hasn't announced the phone yet? That one? Or something you've experienced on an Android phone?
apple has gotten very good at recognizing unintended touches. Look to the iPad pro for a good example. The OS knows if your resting your palm on it or drawing.Exactly why this awful concept would never fly in the real world.

My iPhone case has a kickstand on it so you can read or watch movies without holding it.
iPads are the best for that though!interesting that people have been complaining about the bezels and now
are wondering what the point of the display going to the edge is if you are holding the iPhone in your hands.
You can't make some people happy!
Back in 1984, the Macintosh computer had a screen with rounded corners.Screens will always have square corners.

But that is how you should work (with some common sense added): You create the best possible design, and then the engineers tell you how close they can come to the design. You don't limit yourself to what you _know_ or _think_ the engineers can do.These supposed "mock-ups", seem to ignore basic engineering requirements. They either assume Apple can work around these problems, and so don't bother with them, or the problems aren't being thought about at all.
MHO is that iOS' home is the app "launcher" (the grid of icons). Why isn't the home the "app switcher"... the open apps that any user cares about at any given time?
I disagree. I'd rather have my homescreen just like it is, with apps in the same place every time, and my most used ones on the front screen. It doesn't save me any time going to my switcher because I usually can't remember exactly how far I have to go back to get the app I want, unless it was the one directly prior (for which we have a shortcut now).
I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate the perspective. I too have, to an extent, gotten "used" to the current system (the grid) in the same way you have. However, i do prefer the WebOS way, as you get to see the app running live in it's "card" and dont have to manage icons to mirror usage. To me, it just seems more "organic"(fits in) with the way I use my device.
Hover sensitive display will happen. Mark my words![]()
