Rumor has it that we’re going to see thinner bezels or bezels on the iPhone 15 than we’ll see in September, but that might just be the start. The Elect has sources claiming that Apple wants to make a frameless iPhone, absolute zero. That there is no gap between the screen pixels and the side of the phone.
Realizing that would already be half of Jonathan Ive’s fantasy: that the iPhone feels like it’s holding a screen and nothing else in our hands. For this you have to get rid of these frames and also eliminate the dynamic island, born in the iPhone 14 Pro.
The perfect iPhone
The source specifies that Apple would have ordered these frameless screens from Samsung and LG Display, two of its main suppliers. Serious an OLED screen, with a completely straight front and without curves as we continue to see in some Android terminals. Apparently, Apple prefers this method to reduce interference and have fewer problems when it comes to installing all the components inside the iPhone case.
When might we see this frameless iPhone? GOOD The idea is to show it in 2025, with the hypothetical presentation of the iPhone 17. Nothing is known about the frames that the iPhone 16 could carry, although they could be another intermediate stage between very thin bezels and their direct disappearance. The obvious advantage: an iPhone whose size would not vary would adapt to a larger screen.
Let’s look at it this way: until 2025, it may be time to refine the technology enough to remove the dynamic island as well. And then we would have what for Apple could be the perfect phone: a screen and nothing else. No holes, no edges, with all sensors hidden behind.
