iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max frames are compared to iPhone X; A decrease of 30 per cent over a period of six years

Apple reportedly uses a process called "LIPO," or "low injection pressure overmolding," which allows the company to produce screens with thinner bezels for both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. But as much as everyone appreciates changing the design of upcoming flagship phones , a comparison shows that the iPhone X, Apple's first full-screen iPhone, only has 30 percent larger bezels.

Side-by-side photo comparison of the iPhone X frames with the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models does more justice by showing the huge difference

The bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are said to measure 1.55mm, and both flagships are expected to surpass the record of the Xiaomi 13 Pro, a smartphone that has a bezel of 1.81mm. Increasing the screen-to-body ratio by even a millimeter beyond a certain threshold is a herculean task, so the 30 percent reduction may not do justice in describing the aesthetic change.

Instead, 9to5Mac has included an image that shows how the bezels will differ when the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone X are placed side by side. As you'd expect, the difference is night and day, with the 6-year-old iPhone X looking dated in design, although it still looks comfortable to this day. The current-generation iPhone's screen bezels measure 2.2mm, so dropping to 1.55mm might not look like a big difference on paper, but inspecting them through a side-by-side comparison provides better context.

However, as mentioned above, Apple's adoption of the LIPO process may have been the only way this design change would be possible. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are set to appear in the coming weeks, giving more media outlets a closer look at those frames, but that feat is just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come. ChinaStar, a display manufacturer, is rumored to start mass production of panels with a bezel size of just 1mm, making it 64 percent thinner than the bezels of the upcoming 'Pro' models.

9to5Mac notes that the biggest visual difference can be seen between the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro, which could encourage 5-year-old iPhone owners to upgrade later this year. Ultimately, Apple's goal is to deliver that full-screen experience to users, and it has reportedly asked its supply chain partners Samsung and LG to give it a try. It will probably take years to reach this goal, so for now we will check the progress with the upcoming flagship models.
