Apple iPhone 16 Pro to Feature Revolutionary Design, Leak Claims
The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models are set to introduce a significant design overhaul this September, according to recent leaks. Changes include new display configurations for select models, advanced camera lenses, and a redesigned thermal system to prevent overheating. A standout feature is the remarkably thinner bezels, potentially making them the narrowest in any smartphone to date.
Updated on June 4, 2024, and initially published on June 3, 2024, leaker Ice Universe has posted images on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing the iPhone 16 Pro Max alongside the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The reduction in bezel size, although slight, is noticeable and significantly enhances the aesthetic appeal of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
While some may argue that using a phone case could obscure this subtle design improvement, Apple’s focus on continually refining the iPhone’s appearance is evident. If the iPhone 16 Pro Max does indeed feature the thinnest bezels ever, Apple will likely emphasize this in their marketing campaign.
Ice Universe, known for accurate leaks, has also claimed that the iPhone 16 Pro will surpass the Samsung Galaxy S24 in having the world’s narrowest bezels. This feat reportedly involves using Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology, which has previously posed manufacturing challenges due to the need for intricate wiring and circuitry near the display edge.
Despite the skepticism from some users about the necessity of thinner bezels, the design enhancement aligns with Apple’s pursuit of sleeker, more elegant devices. The new Pro models, expected to have larger displays of 6.3 inches and 6.7 inches for the Pro and Pro Max respectively, will likely benefit from the more compact and ergonomic design afforded by the thinner bezels.
As Apple gears up to unveil the iPhone 16 Pro, anticipation builds for what could be the company’s most visually refined smartphone yet.
