Apple reportedly tasked its OLED display suppliers like Samsung to develop a truly bezel-less panel for future iPhones, and the managing director of Samsung Display largely confirmed that by saying that “Samsung Display is preparing an under-panel camera (UPC) and a zero-bezel concept product that completely removes the border itself.” To achieve it, Samsung worked on the lamination and edge brightness aspects, as well as on miniaturizing the cable connector at the bottom.
Whether it will also feel more elegant, remains to be heard when we do our review a few weeks from now. Granter, Apple will probably brag with the unlocking of “the thinnest bezel on a phone” achievement, and we will get extra screen area to browse or watch YouTube on.
The Dynamic Island piercings will still stay, though, so the actual gain in display real estate could be minimal, and ergonomics might be affect from accidental touches going over the incredibly thin bezel, but at least the iPhone 16 Pro will look cooler.
