Apple says the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature the thinnest bezels around the screen of any product it has ever released, and it has now been rumored that this design change will expand to more iPhone models later this year.The entire iPhone 17 series will feature thinner bezels, according to Digital Chat Station, an account with more than three million followers on Chinese social media platform Weibo.The account has accurately leaked information about future Apple products in the past, such as camera-related details for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
Notably, this means the iPhone 17 base model and the all-new "iPhone 17 Air" model would have ultra-thin bezels, rather than only the Pro models.Here is what Apple said about the iPhone 16 Pro bezels in a press release last year: Previous rumors have indicated that the iPhone 17 base model will be equipped with a 6.3-inch display, up from a 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16 base model.The so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is expected to have a 6.6-inch display.
