According to informed sources, Apple plans to maximize the size of the display in future iPhone 16 series smartphones with the help of a new technology for ultra-thin bezels.
Apple will use Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology to minimize the bezel at the bottom of the display. BRS achieves this by folding the internal copper wiring into a more compact package. The company plans to apply bezel-less display technology to all four iPhone 16 models, which are expected to be released in the second half of this year.
According to available information, Apple has already attempted to apply this technology to the iPhone, but previous attempts were abandoned due to heating issues. However, thanks to recent improvements in heat dissipation technology, the company has returned to the idea of implementing BRS.
Last year, Apple reduced the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro models using LIPO technology. As a result, the bezels decreased (from 2.2 mm on the iPhone 14 models) to 1.5 mm.
It is also reported that the new iPhone 16 Pro models will have significantly larger display sizes than the current iPhone 15 Pro versions. It is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.27-inch display (159.31 mm), and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.85-inch display (174.06 mm).
With the increase in display size, the dimensions of the iPhone body will also increase. The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be slightly taller and wider than their predecessors. This will allow for increased internal space for components. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro models may receive larger and more durable batteries.
It is expected that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will not change in size and will correspond to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. However, with the release of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus in 2025, Apple is expected to also introduce larger display sizes of 6.27 and 6.86 inches for its standard iPhone models.
