In just over three months, Apple will officially introduce the new iPhone 16 series. The development of these devices has been completed in terms of hardware, and the Californian company’s partners and suppliers are working to start the production and assembly of smartphone components. It should start in the summer. Thanks to leaks from production lines, the information reaching us about Apple’s future mobile phones is becoming increasingly reliable.
And it was Ice Universe that revealed a particular feature of the iPhone 16 Pro (and iPhone 16 Pro Max). This Chinese leaker, who is very famous in the industry, confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro will benefit from thinner bezels around the device panel. He says that the edges of the iPhone 16 Pro will be thinner than the Galaxy S24 and that Apple should offer this feature. “The world’s thinnest bezel smartphone”. He is undoubtedly talking about the screen-to-body ratio in general here, because mobile phones with curved screens completely eliminate borders on the sides, but not at the top and bottom.
Best screen-to-body ratio for iPhone 16 Pro?
Such a design change has already been mentioned in previous reports. Apple will use a new technology Boundary Reduction Structure (BRS), to achieve their goals. This especially helps reduce the size of the lower border, previously called the chin. In recent years, Apple has spent a lot of effort to reduce the edge thickness of its iPhones, which are thought to be far behind in this regard compared to their high-end Android competitors.
This reduction in the size of the borders will allow Apple to offer larger screens in the Pro models without increasing the size of the terminals too much. As a reminder, the two devices should each gain about 0.2 inches of screen diagonal. The iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen instead of 6.1 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch screen compared to the 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
My friend confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro will become the world’s narrowest bezel mobile phone by reducing the bezel, surpassing the Galaxy S24, and this looks very close to his dream form.
