iPhone 16 Pro Max Leak Reveals Key Advantage Over S24 Ultra, Pixel 9 Pro XL

iPhone 16 Pro Max leak just revealed advantage over Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL

Slim bezels mean more display and bragging rights.

Not only could the iPhone 16 Pro Max get an increase in screen size, but it could also see an increase in how much of that will actually be usable.

Leaker Ice Universe has posted what appears to be an annotated CAD drawing of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with measurements showing the phone will have bezels of just 1.15mm all around the display.

This could be one of several ways the iPhone 16 series‘ top model can stand out among other recent premium smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s approximately 1.5mm bezels have the iPhone 15 Pro Max beat, but won’t match this year’s updated Pro iPhones according to the leaked figures. Then there’s the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which hasn’t had accurate measurements taken or leaked yet, but looks to have thicker screen borders than the S24 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Bezels aren’t the be-all-and-end-all of display tech, even if Apple’s suppliers are supposedly using some groundbreaking Border Reduction Structure process to make it happen. But it’ll be a luxurious touch to these premium iPhones that’ll help justify the price of upgrading, on top of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max having larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens respectively, and other rumored additions like a Capture button, a chipset with upgraded AI capabilities, and a larger battery.

We hope to see all of this confirmed at the expected Apple event next month, where the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will likely be introduced simultaneously. We’re also expecting to see the AirPods 4 and Apple Watch 10 debut at this event too, making for a jam-packed schedule if all the rumors turn out to be accurate.
