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.
Apple in particular has long dreamed of an all-screen slab phone and while it could take years before it releases such an iPhone, it’s trying to make other refinements such as flimsy bezels for the iPhone 15 Pro
.
3D artist Ian Zelbo has whipped up some renders
which show us how far the iPhone has come in terms of screen design. While you may not think much of year-on-year differences, the change from 2019’s iPhone 11 Pro to the upcoming iPhone 15
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.
