Apple plans to release a new iPhone 16 series this fall, and there have been more and more revelations about this model recently, and the screen and body size data of the iPhone 16 Pro two models have been fully exposed.

Earlier rumors pointed out that Apple plans to adjust the size of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, which is also the first size update of the iPhone in recent years. It is reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen, and the Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch screen, both of which are larger than the 6.1/6.7-inch of the previous generation.

Recently, well-known tipsters Ice Universe and Instant Digital revealed that although the iPhone 16 Pro series models have increased in size overall, their screen bezels (i.e., black bars) are narrower than the previous generation, and they are expected to be the world's narrowest bezel smartphones.

Specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro has a screen black edge width of 1.2mm (30% less than the iPhone 15 Pro's 1.71mm), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen has a reduced black bar to 1.15mm (26% less than the previous generation's 1.55mm).

It is understood that the reason why Apple was able to further compress the screen bezels was mainly due to the newly adopted Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology. This technology allows for a more compact and efficient circuit layout under the screen, resulting in narrower bezels.

UniverseIce also posted a comparison chart of the iPhone 16 Pro Max with the previous generation iPhone 15 Pro Max. Although the difference in the width of the bezels is not noticeable at first glance, let's not forget that the iPhone 16 Pro Max itself has a larger screen, so the visual impact of the narrow bezels will be stronger.

If you're upgrading from an earlier iPhone 13 Pro Max, the bezel and screen-to-body ratio improvements are noticeable. Another comparison chart shows that the iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen-to-body ratio has improved dramatically compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max from two years ago.

Of course, the narrow bezels are just one of the upgrade highlights of the iPhone 16 series. It is reported that the new generation of iPhone will also use upgraded camera technology, new shooting buttons, upgraded chips, new colors, and more. However, for the size and location of the "Dynamic Island", the latest revelations say that it is exactly the same as the previous generation, with no changes.

For fans who like a large screen and a high screen-to-body ratio, the iPhone 16 Pro series will undoubtedly be a very exciting choice. And judging from the exposure parameters, even the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max has a well-controlled weight, only 4 grams more than the previous generation, which should not be too burdensome for daily use.

However, while the narrow bezels are visually appealing, they also pose a slight drawstring, which can be difficult, especially considering that the iPhone 16 Pro's screen edges are likely to still have a slightly curved design, which can be challenging to get the film perfect.
