Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models will have the thinnest bezels of any smartphone, even beating the thin screen bezels of its latest iPhone 15 Pro devices. This is according to the leaker known as “Ice Universe”, who has leaked specific information about Apple’s plans in the past.
According to multiple sources, despite minimal design changes, both iPhone 16 Pro models will increase in size this year. The iPhone 16 Pro would measure 6.3 inches (up from 6.1), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to measure 6.9 inches (up from 6.7), potentially making it Apple’s largest iPhone never conceived.
But it seems Apple isn’t just relying on larger physical dimensions to make the viewing experience more immersive. According to Ice Universe, this year’s Pro models will also have slimmed-down bezels that could be the thinnest ever seen on any smartphone, including those on the Samsung Galaxy S24.
The step forward to achieve this could be Apple’s use of Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology, which allows for a more compact and efficient arrangement of circuitry under the display, which would result in even thinner bezels. Ice Universe hasn’t mentioned BRS, but two rumors out of Asia have referenced the technology in relation to the iPhone 16 models.
Last year, Apple shrunk the bezels of the iPhone 15 Pro models using low injection pressure overmolding, or LIPO, to reduce the size of the screen border to 1.5 millimeters (from about 2.2 millimeters on iPhone 14 models). On top of that, Apple hasn’t significantly changed the size of iPhone screens since the introduction of the iPhone 12 models in 2020. But as mentioned, things are about to change with the Pro models in the line iPhone 16 2024.
