The bezel-less phone is still a dream, even though screen bezels have gotten progressively smaller over the past few years. Apple has reportedly been working with Samsung Display and LG Display on a bezel-less iPhone screen for many years already, but it’s still not close to production.
Originally, Apple wanted to release a “zero-bezel” iPhone in 2025 or 2026. A new report from Korea today states that even a release in 2026 currently isn’t likely. That’s because the technology just isn’t there yet.
Apple apparently wants to keep a flat screen but have it angled into the sides – a quad micro curve design we gather. That concept has gained a lot of steam recently with Chinese smartphone makers, but the report regarding Apple likens what the company wants to do to the design of the Apple Watch’s screen. Either way, Apple doesn’t want to curve the screen enough that there’s distortion on the edges.
The company seems to have a very specific idea about what it wants, but unfortunately it looks like this can’t yet be implemented in mass production, so the dream of a zero-bezel iPhone will probably have to wait until at least 2027 to be realized.
