Apple is known for its innovative and sleek designs, and it seems like they're set to continue this trend with the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup. According to a recent tweet by respected industry insider Ice Universe, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinnest "bezel black edge" of any smartphone, measuring just 1.55mm.
This design decision breaks the previous record set by the Xiaomi 13, which had a bezel size of 1.81mm. It's also approximately 20% and 30% thinner than the Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 Pro bezels, respectively.

A smaller bezel creates a more immersive experience for users and allows for either a larger screen to be fitted into the same size chassis or a more compact device to be made with the same screen size as its predecessor. Based on recently leaked iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro dimensions, it seems like Apple has opted for the latter with slightly more pocket-friendly devices.
While this news is exciting, there is a caveat. Ice Universe has previously leaked iPhone 15 Pro CADs, which are at odds with others. Notably, though the overall dimensions match, the CADs from Ice Universe show a flatter rear camera, while other renders show Apple's biggest rear camera to date.
Regardless, the iPhone 15 lineup is shaping up to be a record breaker. For many years, Apple was criticized for the iPhone's thick bezels, particularly the iPhone 6, 6S, 7, and 8 models. It's clear that good things come to those who wait when it comes to Apple's approach to features and products.
Respected leaker Sonny Dickson has shared more images of the new super-thin iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max bezel alongside an iPhone 15. The new Pro bezels are stunningly thin and unlike any smartphone seen before. The screen is curved around the display, so ordinary glass used on the iPhone 15 screen will have a white edge. The 12/13/14 series screens are flat with 2Dradians on the edges. But the iPhone 15 screen will change. Its screen edge radian will become 2.5D, so case makers will need to make a change to the screen protector.
In conclusion, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's record-breaking bezel size is an exciting design decision from Apple. It adds to the premium look of the phone and creates a more immersive experience for users. We can't wait to see what else Apple has in store for the iPhone 15 lineup.
