Apple is expected to significantly improve the display in the iPhone 16 series. According to a new leak, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have thinner bezels compared to the iPhone 15 lineup. The reduced bezels will provide an improved screen-to-body ratio in the upcoming phones. The bezels on the display can only be 1.15mm, which is smaller than the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to have 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively.
Tipster Setsuna Digital (translated from Chinese) said on Weibo that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models will have the world’s thinnest screen bezels. The iPhone 16 Pro is said to have 1.2mm bezels, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will only have 1.15mm bezels. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro has 2.15 mm bezels, and the iPhone 15 Pro has 1.71 mm bezels.
Well-known whistleblower Ice Universe on X confirms these rumors, saying that the iPhone 16 Pro will surpass the Galaxy S24 and become “the mobile phone with the narrowest bezels in the world.”
Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 16 lineup in September. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are said to have 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively. The Pro model is expected to support a typical brightness of up to 1200 nits when displaying SDR content. They are likely to include the A18 chip and a new capacitive button.
The regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to be powered by the A18 Bionic chip based on TSMC’s 3nm process, and are said to retain the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens of their predecessors. All phones in the lineup are expected to feature Dynamic Island.
