The iPhone 16 family of four entries is expected to become official in September. There is speculation that Apple will reduce the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro models. The phones are said to have the “narrowest bezels in the world”, surpassing the Galaxy S24 Ultra. So far, one report has leaked information about the sizes of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, suggesting that the phones will be larger. Smaller bezels would help Apple include a larger screen without dramatically increasing the overall size of the phones.
Tipster Instant Digital (translated from Chinese) on Weibo claimed that the iPhone 16 Pro will measure 149.6 x 71.45 x 8.25 mm and weigh 194 grams. For comparison, last year’s iPhone 15 Pro has dimensions of 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.25 mm and weighs 187 grams.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 163.02 x 77.58 x 8.26 mm, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.25 mm. The upcoming model is said to be heavier at 225 grams compared to the predecessor’s 221 grams.
Leaked dimensions suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro variants will be slightly taller, heavier and wider, with less noticeable bezels. This claim was also confirmed by the well-known whistleblower Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) on X.
According to a recent leak, the iPhone 16 Pro will have 1.2mm bezels, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have 1.15mm bezels. This would be a noticeable step up from the iPhone 15 Pro’s 1.71mm bezels. The Pro models could surpass the Galaxy S24 and become the “narrowest mobile phone in the world”. Narrow bezels will likely allow Apple to increase the screen size of future models. Reducing the frame size can add a premium look and free up more space for your content.
The iPhone 16 Pro is said to have a 6.3-inch screen, up from its predecessor’s 6.1-inch display. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have a 6.9-inch display, compared to the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Apple is believed to announce the iPhone 16 lineup in September. In addition to thin frames, the iPhone 16 Pro models will probably get a new capacitive button. They are expected to be powered by the A18 Pro chip. The regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to be powered by the A18 Bionic chip based on TSMC’s 3nm process.
