The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to have larger, 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, but not a much larger footprint compared to their predecessors, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. How?
Well, by thinning the display bezel to the greatest extent possible without affecting the screen performance. In fact, the iPhone 16 Pro series is said to possess the thinnest screen bezel of them all, at just over 1mm in width, even at the bottom where the display cables and circuitry are tucked in.
This 1.15mm bezel of the iPhone 16 Pro Max has now been visualized courtesy of a screen protector CAD schematics unearthed by Ice Universe that showcase how impossibly thin the iPhone 16 Pro Max bezel will be.

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.
