There is probably a supply constraint and this move would make mass production easier. If the screen is as difficult as all the reports say.
Give in to the dark sideI keep telling myself that I won't read anymore rumours. I told myself just yesterday: "Right! That's it now, no more reading these rumours until the event", but here I am...
I agree with you that it isn't truly "edge to edge" if there is a bezel but I am OK with that. Back when many of us thought the screen would actually wrap around the sides I kept wondering how you could put the phone in a case without covering at least part of the screen. I have always put my iPhones in a good case (usually an Otterbox) and with X likely being North of $1,000 I will definitely put it in a good case.Its is not edge to edge if there is a bezel. This is a cheat, and the overall design so far, a big let down.
Let's hope/assume the status bar background is also kept black.
Caseless Since 2010. I hate covering the whole phone up. Embrace the design. Unless you're clumsy as ****
Well I quite liked the white bezels and it they actually come to pass despite what Mr Kuo says, I'll be fine with it on the silver one. But I do think the black bezels look way better on the Blush Gold iPhone. I'm more inclined to consider this color now. Black bezels do give the IPhones a more sleek, polished look. White was cute and quirky.
The black bezel was something I was REALLY hoping Apple would add to the iPhone. The white doesn't fit in with the notch as well.

Wish those were real wallpapers offered by Apple, would totally rock those! Not the flower/rainbow/butterfly bs that got leaked yesterday. Not to mention they'd also show off the darker blacks of the new OLED display. I can dream..."Black Front" as it looks more uniform and will hide that notch better. In black, the notch disappears into the display when switched off.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has a new prediction about how Apple will design the front of the "iPhone X." Kuo believes that no matter the color of the device's casing, the front bezels will be black.,
The iPhone 4 has been my favorite design. Felt good in the hand. Easy to hold onto. Amazing looking. The new iPhone might bump the 4 into second place. We’ll see.Still love my iPhone 4 which is used everyday as a recipe book and timer in the kitchenBlack glass back and front, flat silver bezel, beaut little phone. Still unmarked but stuck on iOS 7.1.2. Hope the new one is as good

The Silver iPhone X will be the best throwback to the original iPhone having a black front instead of white:
