iPhone with ‘Zero’ Bezels Could Be in the Works

While we are gearing up to see the new iPhone 15 series, a new leak has popped, and no, it’s not about the iPhone 16. Here, we have information on a future iPhone, which could go completely bezel-less in the true sense and no notch at all. Have a look at the details below.

A No-Bezel iPhone Could Launch Soon

Renowned tipster Ice Universe has suggested that Apple is working on a zero-bezel iPhone and for this, has reached out toSamsung and LG to make OLED displayswith no bezels at all. This information is corroborated byThe Elec.BREAKING! Apple is working on a 0-bezel iPhone!

It is suggested that for a no-bezel iPhone to see the light of day, there’s a need for improvements to thethin-film encapsulation(the layer that protects the screen from moisture and more) and under-panel camera (UPC) technologies. For those who don’t know, Samsung uses the under-the-display camera on its foldable phones. The antenna space and display circuits also need to be kept in mind for the zero-bezel iPhone.

Apple reportedly wants the zero-bezel display to go hand in hand with aflat-edge designinstead of a curved screen. Although, a curved screen would have made way for a zero-bezel display easily. And if there are no bezels, we can expect the Dynamic Island (Apple’s functional notch) to go away too. So, if you haven’t been a fan of any of the notches Apple has introduced, this might be a breath of fresh air for you! We can also expect a full glass body.

It is a technical challenge plus afull glass chassis for an iPhonecould prove to be very delicate. It remains to be seen how Apple successfully achieves this feat. Until then, Apple might start by making the bezels thinner, asrumoredto take shape with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

To recall, Xiaomi hastrieda phone with no bezels in the past. This was introduced as a concept phone with an88-degree quad-curved waterfall display, which covers the phone’s frame. As a result, there are no ports. However, this never came out as a final product and it seems like Apple might be the one to commercially introduce a no-bezel phone.

We are still far away from seeing this become official and since there’s nothing concrete, it would be best to take these details with a grain of salt and see what happens in the future.
