The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max already had impressive “screen-to-body ratios” as their bezels were said to size only 1.55 mmBreaking those boundaries for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will require engineering prowess like no other, but according to various rumors, Apple has proven that it can successfully achieve a new record using a variety of technologies. Now, the latest comparison pits the current-generation flagship against the next, and we can see how thin those bezels can get after a year-long break.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to have 1.15mm bezels, making it the thinnest iPhone bezel ever
Not only is Apple expected to introduce larger displays for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, but both models are also said to have the thinnest bezels of any device the company has released. A previous rumor claimed that the smaller version's bezels would be 1.2mm thick, while the top-end offering's bezels would be 1.15mm thick.
If you do the math, the iPhone 16 Pro Max frame will be 40 percent thinner compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and to illustrate just how thin we're talking, Apple Hub ran a comparison of both flagships. Even at a decent distance from the laptop display, we noticed that the difference was quite noticeable, and all of this was made possible by a rumored technology called “The structure of border reduction.”

It was previously reported that Apple implement the technology of “low pressure casting” (LIPO) for future products to increase their “screen-to-body ratio,” but it appears the company has changed its stance on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It will be interesting to see a real-life side-by-side comparison of both models once Apple officially announces its lineup during its September 9. Event “It's Glowtime”.
If you remember, the iPhone 15 Pro Max bezels could only really be seen against the iPhone 14 Pro during the crazy close-up of two phonesso that's something to keep in mind.
