Apple wants future iPhones to have zero bezels: Heres what we know

Apple is reportedly working with display partners Samsung and LG for a 0-bezel display on its future iPhones. Even the front camera and Face ID sensors would go under the screen. Could this be the long-rumoured iPhone Ultra?

Here is what we know:

Bezel-less iPhones

 The 0-bezel iPhone rumour comes to us from the South Korean publication The Elec (via Ice Universe). As per it, Apple is working closely with its display partners Samsung Display and LG Display to make OLED panels without any bezels and cutouts. For facilitating the latter, the iPhone may have to feature an under-display camera setup like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G.

So, if this becomes a reality, we will have iPhones with a unibody glass design. But, this could mean the iPhone will be more prone to scratches and damage. To evade this, or to protect the iPhone, it will be shielded by a new type of ultra-strong glass protection.

As Ice Universe calls it, this does look futuristic. 

Perhaps, this could be the design of the rumoured iPhone Ultra model.

As per Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, this could be a more premium iPhone compared to the Pro Max model. It could carry the Ultra moniker. 

This will target the uber-premium or ultra-rich customers of Apple who wants something more than the usual set of iPhones offers. This is expected to come by the 2024 iPhone release.

So, maybe Apple will launch the iPhone 16 Ultra in 2024 with a 0-bezel display and an under-screen camera. This will be interesting and groundbreaking from a smartphone design standpoint. We are excited about this.
