Frameless phone designs have been talked about for a long time. However, according to the latest leaks, Apple may have taken a concrete step towards a bezel-less iPhone. But we must also say that implementing this revolutionary technology will not be as easy as it seems. Here are the details
Apple tries to remove obstacles to bezel-less iPhone model
First, it is said that Apple’s goal is to present the bezel-less design not only as a visual innovation, but also as a feature that will increase usability. Among the highlights of the design are the following:
Seamless edges: The screen will flow so that it’s fully integrated into the side edges and bezels. Similar to the curved screen technology on the Apple Watch, the overall aesthetic of the phone will have an oval “stone” appearance.
Technology to avoid the lens effect: Optical distortion (the lens effect), which often occurs at the edges of curved displays, is a problem with bezel-less design. Apple is working on a special technology to solve this problem.
Apple is not alone in this project. Working in partnership with Samsung Display and LG Display, the company faces various engineering challenges to integrate hardware components such as antennas. In fact, innovative solutions are being developed to ensure that these components do not interfere with the display being completely bezel-less.
In addition to the technical challenges, the production process for this design is also quite complex. Apple originally planned to launch this project in 2026. However, as the process is more complex than expected, the release date could be pushed back even further.
Brands like Samsung and Xiaomi have been offering devices with bezel-less displays for years. But rumor has it that Apple wants to perfect this technology by taking a different approach than other manufacturers. The company plans to differentiate itself from its competitors by focusing on functionality as well as visuals.
