The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max already have impressively thin bezels, but a new leak suggests that Apple might make them even thinner with the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

According to a Weibo user, the bezels on these new models could be reduced by up to 40%, which would make the screen-to-body ratio even more immersive.

The rumor lines up with earlier reports that Apple plans to give the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max larger displays, with sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.

Setsuna Digital, the Weibo user, claims that the iPhone 16 Pro Max could have bezels as thin as 1.15mm, while the iPhone 16 Pro might have slightly thicker bezels at 1.20mm. They are still very thin surpassing even the most minimal ones currently found on smartphones.

While Setsuna Digital isn’t a tipster we’ve heard of in the past, the leak seems credible because the reliable leaker Ice Universe confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro will have bezels thinner than those of the Galaxy S24 and claimed it will be the phone with the “narrowest bezels in the world.”

The tipster even shared a mockup render of the phone to show the incredibly thin bezels on the upcoming iPhone.

Though the exact details of how Apple will achieve this are under wraps, leaks suggest that the company might use a “Border Reduction Structure” technology to make it possible. 

It’s uncertain whether this technology will lead to a price increase for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max considering the significant effort and resources likely involved.
