iPhone 11 Pro vs 15 Pro and Note10+ vs S23 Ultra images indicate one company is sleeping on design

When it comes to the changes we’d like to see in a new smartphone model, bezels aren’t really at the top of most people’s lists. But given that related technologies, such as under-display sensors, haven’t evolved much, there’s not a whole lot that smartphone makers can do at the moment, except explore other form factors.

Pro is striking, assuming the leaks are legit.

The iPhone 11 Pro has thick bezels, by today’s standards, and a notch which takes up a sizable part of the topmost portion of the screen.
