Agreed. And for those needing/wanting a case, it becomes diffcult to protect the edge of the display. Just dropped my 14Pro the other and day and the metal edge still got dinged in spite of the case. That wouldn't have happened with a bit more case material over the bezel.
Got a tip for us?

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

I remember when the 4.3” Android phones seemed gigantic, it seems like no matter how big they go I get used to it and always want a little more screen. I still want an iPad mini phone.
Since the bezel is already glass and part of the display it won’t get anymore fragile. It’s just that more of that black area around the screen will now be pixels. It’ll still have the metal frame on the sides to protect it, hopefully made out of titanium.
I don't understand the bezel obsession. You want a little meat around the edges so your fingers dont accidentally press something.
Anyway as long as the 15 pro has USB-C i will be upgrading from 13 pro.

Agreed! How iconic the white iPhones was. Also, the drama/controversery behind it. I wish Apple would bring back the White bezels.

I think the biggest reason is battery life. They can only fit so much battery in devices that size.
Not sure we need to go all the way that small but it sure made one handed use a breeze and I miss that. I think iphone mini might have been the goldilocks size for a smartphone but a higher percentage of consumers seem more drawn to larger devices and the mini not having a pro version I'm sure also turned people off from buying.
Give me a mini with pro iphone features and all day battery life and I'm choosing that.
Unfortunately for anything like that might require switching to Android. Funny how that's changed.
And don't forget 3nm a17. It's pretty crazy that we are going to get all this in just a 1 year cycle. I would have thought that apple would be reserving about half of these for the 16 or beyond.
This is going to be a really solid upgrade from any iPhone, really.
OMG, Becky! Look at those bezels, they are so slim, they’re like not even there. I mean, just look at them…
iPhone SE still for sale for folks who want a small phone.

Apple needs to consider making the iPhone 15 slim bezel Edge-to-Edge like the Apple Watch Series 7.
Looks like the 13 mini is also still for sale on the Apple website for folks who want a small phone that has a better screen and screen-to-body ratio.
Yawn. I thought the back edges was supposed to be curved? This is not a curve it’s a sanding of the corner. between that, mm trimmed off the bezel and messing with buttons for no reason, they really have run out of ideas!

I just wanted one with a big 16x9 -ish screen. I cannot stand small-screen phones (to each their own tho).
So, to the Samsung Galaxy Note series I went, until the iPhone 12 (well, Apple's ecosystem, really) brought me back.

That becomes a non issue with a case, generally.
That said, I am simply NOT comfortable using that super expensive, fragile soap bar that is the iPhone without one.
So for those that like rocking it buck-naked, I can see how this could be an issue.

I REALLY wish Apple made at least one iPhone model without a selfie camera.
No notch required.
And an iPad without cameras. Never ever use them, but I paid for them (a lot).

If that were to happen. Facetime feature would become totally useless.
Oh yeah I completely forgot about that! It's going to be a really solid phone and definitely one that you can keep for years to come
Up to now, Apple has never forced me to buy a new iPhone, and yet I still do from time to time. If you don't like the thinner bezels or think they're a joke, cool. Don't buy one. Save your cash or make a donation to a good charity. If you like thinner bezels and think they, along with any other changes and improvements made to the iPhone 14, are worth buying a new iPhone and you've got the bucks, feel free. In America 2023, I'm often reminded of the line in Joe Walsh's song, Life's Been Good: "I can't complain, but sometimes I still do."
