The iPhone 10 was the first smartphone in Apple’s lineup to feature extremely thin side bezels and a rather deep notch at the top to conceal the selfie camera and facial IDs when it was released in 2017. It was also the first iPhone to do away with the fingerprint scanner-included home button on the display. Up until Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 Pro series last year, this design stayed almost unchanged. The business modified the notch design, giving us what Apple refers it as a “dynamic island.”Apparently, that will also soon be history, and we will finally be able to purchase an iPhone with no notch and no bezels for an edge-to-edge viewing experience.
In-depth details about apple is working on an iPhone display with no notch and no bezels
Apple is collaborating with Samsung and LG to create a bezel-less, notch-less display, according to Leakster Ice Universe via the South Korean newspaper The Elec. The OLED display, which has been used since the iPhone 12 series, will still be used by the firm. According to the report, Apple wants to stick with flat displays, in contrast to many Android competitors who use curved displays on their mid-range products. Additionally, a bezel-free iPhone would resemble a giant glass slab in your hand, which could result in some unintentional touches.
According to the source, Apple intends to position the camera and other necessary sensors below the display, much like Samsung did with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It is necessary to resolve the thin film encapsulation (TFE) and under-panel camera (UPC) technologies in order to have a bezel-less screen. The OLED is shielded by TFE from oxygen and moisture. Bezel-free smartphones are nothing new, but mainstream manufacturers haven’t fully incorporated this technology into their production lines. Xiaomi unveiled a concept phone in 2021 using Quad Curved Waterfall Display technology, which completely encloses the sides of the screen.
The notch-less, bezel-less iPhone’s launch information is yet unknown, but we can anticipate that it may take Apple another year to choose this particular design. In September of this year, Apple is anticipated to introduce the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series. All four iPhones in the series will have the same display sizes from Apple, which are 6.7 inches for the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max and 6.1 inches for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. But it’s anticipated that every new phone this year will have a dynamic island notch that changes size based on the notification.
It’s also plausible that Apple is internally exploring a notch- and bezel-free display; however, this technology might take many years to reach a market product.
