But it’s unclear when this will be implemented.
Apple has previously been scolded for the fact that its smartphones have very wide bezels compared to competitors. Now the iPhone does not have such a problem, and new models can surpass many competitors. The Cupertino giant reportedly approached Samsung Display and LG Display to develop an OLED display that would enable a truly bezel-less iPhone.
Apple asked Samsung and LG to develop suitable screens for such a device
To get rid of the bezels, Samsung and LG will need to address issues related to thin film encapsulation (TFE) and under-screen camera (UPC) technologies. Beyond that, the report also mentions that vendors must also provide space for antennas before finalizing the final product.
Recall that the iPhone 15 models (at least the older ones) are credited with significantly narrower frames compared to the iPhone 14. But now we are talking about the next generations, that is, Apple wants to continue making frames already.
It is also important that in an attempt to get rid of the frames, Apple will not switch to curved panels, which allow you to visually make the frames narrower.
