As my colleague David Phelan reported, the renders shared by Ice Universe this week clearly show a difference in bezel size. If the new near-borderless design information is accurate, it raises questions about the user-friendliness of this form factor.
As Phelan points out, “you still want to be able to hold the phone without the touchscreen accidentally activating.”
Apple releases new features and makes design choices slowly and carefully, so it’s likely that this scenario has been well-prepared for.
The larger dimensions may also explain earlier leaks about the iPhone 16’s revamped action button, which will provide a new input method for the device.
This new input method will be both capacitive and mechanical, allowing it to be swiped as well as pressed. According to previous leaks, it will register different levels of pressure to activate various tasks. While Apple will market this as a camera button, reports indicate that it will be programmable.
A bigger and thicker phone may be awkward to handle for those with smaller hands, so an additional, multi-purpose button that can be swiped, touched, and pressed could be a practical solution.
