According to Weibo leaker Setsuna Digital, the iPhone 16 Pro will have 1.2mm bezels, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max‘s border will be 1.15mm. In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro‘s bezels measure 1.71mm, and the iPhone 14 Pro has 2.15mm bezels.
Apple is rumored to employ the Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology to make the bezels on its upcoming phones ultra thin. This tech will allegedly not only slim down the top, left, and right bezels, but also the bottom bezel, which was considered challenging before.
In addition to improving how the phones look, the thinner bezels will presumably also allow Apple to increase the screen size on the Pro models without a proportional increase in their dimensions.
So even though the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are pretty much guaranteed to be physically larger than their predecessors, the change won’t be profound, thanks to the thinner bezels.
Apple’s suppliers were previously said to be struggling with Apple’s requirements, but it looks like all issues have been taken care of, and the iPhone 16 series is on track for the rumored September launch.
