We are at the beginning of 2024, but iPhone 16 is already on the agenda. Different information continues to come about the new model, which is expected to be introduced in September this year. According to a new supply chain report, it is reported that the iPhone 16 screen frames will be much thinner. So, will this thinning of the screens reduce the strength? Here are the details…

iPhone 16 screen frames will be thinner than expected! So will screen durability decrease?

When the iPhone 15 was first released, everyone was curious about the new case design with softened corners. The new case, whose frame is completely covered with titanium metal, also underwent durability tests. The results caused controversy. Because the case structure, which has serious resistance to bending and stretching, easily caused the rear glass to crack.

However, a result that surprised the users emerged. Because the phone had a really solid case. The case, which does not even stretch, proved its durability, but a case with no flexibility also caused the problem of glass cracking.

Now, iPhone 16 and its screen design are on the agenda. A supply chain report that appeared today states that iPhone 16 Pro models will have larger screens compared to previous generations. But only the screen size will increase. The phone’s case dimensions will remain almost the same as the previous generation. Of course, for this reason, the growth will come not in the case but in the thinning of the frames.

This refinement will be very pleasing to the users’ eyes at first. Because the much-loved “infinite screen design” will seriously increase in size. However, thinning of the frames means that there are fewer areas to absorb the impacts the phone receives from the corner when it falls to the ground. This also means that the screen of the device will break more quickly than previous models. Of course, these are just guesses and comments.

Apple may also compensate for the thinning of the screen frames by strengthening the screens of the devices. Let us not forget that this compensation also means a small cost increase that will be reflected on us. So what do you think? Don’t forget to share your opinions with us in the comments section…
