Replica iPhone 15 Pro Max Offers Best Look Yet at Ultra-Thin Bezels Around Display

[Gengar]

If they somehow got rid of those huge camera bumps on the back, this would be the best design EVER.

Do people really care about thin bezels? I'm cool with large bezels. I'd much rather have an easy-on-the-eyes display technology (i.e. filter blue light, no PWM, etc.), stable software, and physical buttons that I can access without having to look at the device.

Yes, usability takes a hit with thinner bezels. On my iPhone 13 Pro, I'm constantly wondering why my gestures are acting strange, only to realize that my palm is ever-so-close to the screen, it's registering as a touch, causing a multi-touch gesture.

Thinner bezels are more form, less function. Fact.

Am I the only one who doesn’t mind larger bezels? I might even prefer them. My 14PM is already pretty annoying sometimes when it misrecognizes my hand just gripping the phone as a false input. With smaller bezels comes even worse palm rejection

 

[klasma]

rumors suggest the larger 6.7-inch model will have the most minimal of bezels.

So… the smallest bezels?

No more box going forward starting with iPhone 15.

Everything will be placed into compostable bubble wrap baggies.

Maybe Apple-flavored edible wraps?

I'm going to upgrade so I can get .5mm less bezel.

Going bigger means more clearer content viewing, as well as longer battery life. I know you prefer small phones, and I completely understand the benefit of going smaller. Unfortunately the market prefers big over small, and like it or not the audience who wants smaller phones is pretty small (pun intended)

That's not to say it's gonna be gone forever. While it sucks the iPhone 15 won't have a Mini form, the iPhone 13 Mini is still available and they could very well make a future generation of iPhone a Mini once the 13 Mini is discontinued

You know how you can tell who has an iPhone mini? just wait a few minutes and they’ll tell you.

And we agree with you, the general consensus in todays society seems to like it big, rather than small. Until Apple can come out with a scrollable, foldable, or shape shifting phone, they will have to keep making large devices for everyone that likes them big. Personally I’d like my iPhone 15 ultra to have a 7” display with no bezel at all.

I can't be the only one who likes thick chins...I mean ergonomically wise it's much better

I also miss the white bezels. Nowadays all iPhones just have a completely black front.

Physics. There's a reason millions of years of evolution have resulted in round eyeballs, not flat discs. Because there needs to be a focal length. Light travels in a path.

Life changing.

Jokes aside, doesn't the Dynamic Island look a touch smaller on the newer one?

Edit: Yep, I did an inverted overlay of the older one over the newer one. Their perspectives and distance from the camera seem pretty close in the photo, so I would say this is accurate. Now as to whether or not this is true to what will happen, I have no idea. But if this mockup is to be believed, the Dynamic Island will be shrinking a bit, especially in width. Nothing crazy, but still nice to see it.

Why does this Dynamic Island look like a 'Spying Island", LOL? 🕵️‍♂️

Apple STOP fat shaming my iPhone 11 bezels

 

[macboyfan]

Looking good! I would love to see an even bigger iPhone. Maybe it'll be the iPhone 16 Ultra?

6'1 is plenty for me so I don't see me going any bigger than an iPhone Pro

"That will be $1499 please, or only $19.99/month on our easy 96-month payment plan. Would you like the new AirPods 4th gen to go with them? All of your friends will envy the thinner bezels. They are so, soooooo cool."

 

[WilliApple]

Eh, I kind of like the 14 Pro's Bezels better tbh.

 

[sorgo †]

What if Apple announces the iPhone 15 Mini?

Then I will be squealing with delight and preordering ASAP. But I have a feeling that probably won’t happen, if it ever does, before the 16/17/18 series; by now something certainly would’ve leaked if 15 mini were a thing.

 

[Gnik Nus]

I’ll stick with my ergonomically-proportioned 13 mini.

I'm sticking with my 13 mini until the new mini comes, however long the wait 😉

Yes exactly amigo 👍💙🫡 u get it!

 

[WWPD]

Something tells me that this will be the best iPhone yet.

 

[OneBar]

Slap a case on and then how thin?

Looking at that compared to my 11PM about half the distance depending on what case you use. I'd bet that even though it's physically larger than my 11PM, it'll feel about the same in hand with or without a case on.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Something tells me that this will be the best iPhone yet.

And "we think you're going to love it"

And there will be rumors of some pseudo-plausible catalyst for shortages going into launch. So you better get ordering ASAP so you might be able to get one.

And due to "inflation", "supply chain", "covid", "<make up something>" prices will only be going up by XX% this year.

We know the drill.

Sure but they could flush the body with the bump and increase battery capacity as a consequence. It'd be marginally heavier but eh. That's what happens when you increase battery capacity right now.

Hopefully they move the island up

 

[DocMultimedia]

Looks like an iPhone. Next...

Maybe because….
