The latest smartphones have generally matured. While companies continue to bring new advancements to the table with every annual refresh, the upgrades have been mostly iterative. At this point, Apple is polishing its iPhones by gradually improving their design, SoCs, cameras, and so on. The iPhone 16 Pro’s case could be no different, as it’s rumored to shrink the display’s bezels further to become the world’s thinnest.
According to the reputable leaker known as Ice Universe (via MacRumors), the iPhone 16 Pro will dethrone the Samsung Galaxy S24 and become the world’s thinnest-bezeled smartphone. If this rumor turns out to be true, you can expect the iPhone 16 Pro’s bezels to be narrower than 1.52mm (currently offered by the Galaxy S24).
