Highlights
- iPhone 16 Pro Max is tipped to feature 1.15mm bezels
- Apple is tipped to increase the display sizes of the Pro, Pro Max models
- The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to be unveiled in September
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 series of smartphones in the coming weeks, and the upcoming lineup is expected to comprise four new models. A tipster has now suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro Max — the largest handset in the series — will have thinner screen bezels than any other smartphone in the industry. The purported size of the bezel has also been leaked, and Apple is said to be implementing a new method to trim down the bezels of its flagship iPhone model.
Tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature 1.15mm bezels. The post includes a computer-aided design (CAD) render of the flagship phone with narrow bezels around the display. For comparison, last year's iPhone 15 Pro Max featured 1.71mm bezels around its display.

If the iPhone 16 Pro Max's bezels measure 1.15mm, it will have a notable lead over the flagship Galaxy S24 series and the recently launched Google Pixel 9 Pro XL in the market. The razor-thin bezels are expected to provide more display space for users. Apple is said to be using a process called Border Reduction Structure (BRS) to minimize the bezel at the bottom of its iPhone models.
Additionally, the tipster has also shared an image that shows a purported tempered glass display protector for the iPhone 16 Pro Max in a separate post. However, this image doesn’t tell us much about the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
