The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models were already praised for their impressive screen-to-body ratio, boasting bezels as thin as 1.55mm. However, Apple seems determined to push the boundaries even further with the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. According to recent rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature the thinnest bezels ever seen on an iPhone, potentially setting a new standard in smartphone design.
iPhone 16 Pro Max Bezels Could Shrink to Just 1.15mm
Reports suggest that the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro Max could be reduced to an astonishing 1.15mm, making them 40% thinner than those on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. To visualize this significant change, Apple Hub has created a comparison, showcasing how the iPhone 16 Pro Max might look next to its predecessor. Even from a reasonable viewing distance, the difference is expected to be noticeable, thanks to a rumored technology referred to as ‘Border Reduction Structure.’
Advancements in Display Technology
Apple’s previous approach included the use of ‘low-injection pressure over-molding’ (LIPO) technology to maximize the screen-to-body ratio. However, for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it seems the company might be adopting a new strategy to achieve even thinner bezels. This move could position the iPhone 16 Pro Max as the most advanced in terms of display technology among all smartphones.
Looking Ahead to Apple’s September Event
Apple is set to unveil its new lineup during the ‘It’s Glowtime’ event on September 9. At this event, we will likely see a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, giving us a real-world view of these much-anticipated design changes.
For those who remember, the difference between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro bezels was only truly noticeable in extreme close-up comparisons. This suggests that Apple’s continued focus on refining its design could result in a device that not only looks sleeker but also offers a more immersive viewing experience.
Conclusion
As Apple pushes the limits of design with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, consumers can expect a device that is not only powerful but also a visual masterpiece. Whether these thinner bezels will lead to increased durability or impact other aspects of the device remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Apple is committed to leading the industry in smartphone innovation.
