The iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinnest bezels of any smartphone, breaking the record currently held by the Xiaomi 13. At least that's what a leaker claims, who has often revealed accurate information about Apple's plans in the past.
Both iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to have thinner, curved edges compared to the iPhone 14 Pro, which could result in an Apple Watch-like look. If the leaker However, if "Ice Universe" is right, the larger 6.7-inch model will have the smallest bezels. In a tweet, Ice Universe stated that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will break the record of 1.81 mm bezel width held by the Xiaomi 13, while the upcoming Apple model will be only 1.55 mm wide. For comparison, Ice Universe cites the dimensions for the bezels of the iPhone 14 Pro (2.17 mm) and the Samsung Galaxy Ultra S23 (1.95 mm). Rumor has it that the bezels of all four iPhone 15 models will be slightly curved, similar to the iPhone 11 series.
iPhone 15 Pro: Titanium frame instead of stainless steel?
However, the width of the bezels on the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are not expected to be different from those on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 15 lineup is also expected to have the same display sizes as last year's lineup. With even thinner bezels around the display, the iPhone 15 Pro models could have a similar look to the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8. Rumors also suggest that the Pro models will have a titanium frame instead of stainless steel and solid-state buttons for the volume, mute, and power buttons that don't move when pressed. Ice Universe has already shared CAD renders and dimensions that suggest the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a thinner camera bump and a smaller footprint. Apple is expected to announce its next iPhone lineup in September as usual. (Image: Apple)
