In recent years, the smartphone industry has worked to reduce the size of bezels around screens as much as possible. But, despite these efforts, these borders are still there and they remain clearly visible. However, Apple would have the ambition to offer, one day, iPhones that are truly borderless, or “zero-bezel”. This would be a device that, when viewed from the front, would only show the screen and nothing else.
Many rumors have already circulated about this project in the past. And if, recently, the “zero-bezel” iPhone has returned to the news, it is because new information about this project is circulating on the web. Citing Korean media The Elec, a recent article from Android Authority indicates that this revolutionary iPhone would still be very far from becoming a reality. According to Korean media sources, the technology that would allow Apple to create a “zero-bezel” iPhone would not yet be sufficiently developed. This iPhone would probably not be released in 2025 or 2026, due to technical challenges related to its development and mass production.
Apple looking for something new?
Obviously, as this information is not official, caution remains in order. But in any case, a borderless iPhone would be an important novelty for Apple customers.
The good news is that, from 2025, the firm should offer the iPhone 17 Air, according to other rumors. This iPhone probably won’t be an iPhone without borders around the screen, but it should still bring significant new design features compared to recent iPhone designs. Otherwise, it is also rumored that Apple could finally launch the first foldable iPhone in 2026. And according to a recent rumor, the firm has even identified a technology that would allow it to stand out from the crowd in the folding smartphone market.
