Rumor: iPhone 16 Pro to feature world’s thinnest smartphone bezel

Although the iPhone 16 Pro will mostly resemble the design of the iPhone 15 Pro, we are expecting some small changes. The screen sizes of both the Pro and Pro Max are increasingly slightly, and we may also see a dramatic further reduction in the black border that is visible around the screen.

The iPhone 16’s biggest selling point may not be the phone itself, but AI features in iOS 18

iPhone 16 Pro rumors

Days out from WWDC and the AI rumor mill is active as ever.

Yesterday Mark Gurman reported that many of iOS 18’s AI features will require using an iPhone 15 Pro or later. It’s rare for many major software features to be exclusive to the latest iPhone, especially the latest Pro phone. But that’s exactly what iOS 18 seems set to deliver.

Which got me thinking: Apple’s marketing pitch for this fall’s iPhone 16 may center primarily on software, not hardware.

Poll: Should Apple offer more colorful iPhone 16 Pro models?

Would you like colorful iPhone 16 Pro models? | Bright colors in water

A report earlier this month said that the color-infused back glass used on the non-Pro iPhone 15 models would be extended to the iPhone 16 Pro, and a new Weibo claim implies the same. This would bring new color options to the Pro and Pro Max.

Earlier reports have also suggested that we may see new color options for the titanium frame, as well as the glass back …

A new report claims that Apple has developed a new finish for the titanium frame of the iPhone 16 Pro models, with the brushed look of the iPhone 15 Pro replaced by “a more polished material.”
