Apple developing an iPhone with zero bezels

New Delhi, July 27, 2023.

With the iPhone X, Apple offered an iPhone that was all-display at the front for the first time (minus the notch that is). Subsequent releases trimmed down on those bezels further but Apple could now be planning on doing away with those entirely.

According to a report by TheElec, Apple is working on a new iPhone design that would completely eliminate the front bezel and offer a truly edge-to-edge display. The company has asked its OLED screen suppliers, Samsung Display and LG Display, to develop a version of the display that has no bezels at all.

The report claims that Apple also wants the suppliers to improve the technologies for Thin Film Encapsulation (TFE) – which is the technology that enables stronger, lighter, and more flexible AMOLED – and under-panel camera (UPC).
