The next-generation iPhones are expected to launch in less than six months, and are speculated to feature thinner screen bezels.
Likely to be called the iPhone 16, the base model is expected to have redesigned cameras and the well-received action button from the iPhone 15 Pro, according to Korean publication The Elec.
The report suggests some iPhone 16 models will use a new screen technology that allows for thinner bezel borders, which might give users of the Pro model phones a slightly larger screen area.
It says display manufacturers have developed a new type of border reduction structure technology.
This new manufacturing technique reportedly allows companies to create screens with more compact control circuitry, effectively allowing for a slimmer bezel.
The bezel is the border that separates the phone's screen from the actual edge of the device.
However, it's unclear whether the new display technology would be added to the entry-level iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus or the more expensive iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Apple usually tends to introduce display improvements in its pro line of products, such as with the pro-motion display in 2021's iPhone 13 Pro, before sometimes offering them in lower-cost models later on.
Earlier leaks have also suggested the Pro model screens will grow somewhat, perhaps because of the now-rumoured smaller bezels.
Apple has not officially made any statement regarding it.
