iPhone X Was I mistaken? screen not edge to edge?

[Tikatika]

never having seen an X or Xs/XsMax in person, I thought the screen was filled edge to edge, top to bottom. There is still a black bezel around the edges. Is this the way it should be?

I think there is something wrong with your copy

it's not fully edge to edge if you're thinking like the samsung galaxy edge.

I guess I was. This is what mine looks like. I was surprised.

yeah Phil Schiller loves to reel you in with the "edge to edge display".

You really don't want it fully to the edge. I had one of those Samsung phones and it's so easy to accidentally activate the screen/scroll etc.

I actually prefer the iPhone style of display vs Samsung. Reasons are you won’t accidentally press or move screens but more importantly, more options and cheaper alternatives for glass screen protectors. My wife has a s9+ and all the screen protectors eventually peels off because the side’s adhesive usually sucks

I am wondering, if you use a black wallpaper, would you really notice it?

Yeah I know what you mean, the side bezels are barely any smaller than the IP8
I guess apple had a different definition of edge to edge
