Android leaker claims the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinnest bezels ever
|
|
When the iPhone X arrived in 2017, Apple described it as having a “stunning all-screen display.” That wasn’t quite true, however. Not only was there a notch at the top for the camera and sensors, but it also had a fairly sizable bezel surrounding the entire display. Over the years, Apple has worked to decrease the size of that bezel and according to a new report, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinnest border ever—for any phone.
Famed Android leaker Ice Universe claims on Twitter that the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or Ultra since we don’t know how Apple will brand the phone) will “break the record of 1.81mm bezel black edge held by Xiaomi 13.” The Xiaomi 13 was released in December and has a stunning 93 percent screen-to-body ratio, a metric that takes bezels and camera cutouts into account. By comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has an 88 percent ratio and the iPhone 14 has an 86 percent ratio, according to GSMArena.
The leak claims the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s bezel will measure 1.55mm around, significantly thinner than the 2.17mm bezel on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 2.42mm bezel on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra is expected to have a sleeker design than the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup, with a titanium frame, curved edges, and a smaller camera bump. It will also likely be the most expensive phone Apple has ever made, with a possible starting price of $1,299.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be the most-anticipated game of 2023. If you’re interested in snagging some cool collector’s gear to go with the game, you’ll want to check out the Japanese Collector’s Edition, which is available to import through Amazon. And since the US version of the Collector’s Edition is sold out right now, this might be your only way to get all the exclusive swag that comes bundled with the base game. The Zelda-themed Pro controller is also available to import for around the same price as the CE, which means it’s quite a bit more expensive
~$148
The Tears of the Kingdom Japanese Collector’s Edition costs ¥14,520, which roughly translates to $110. You’ll also have to pay around $38 shipping, bringing your total cost to approximately $148. Inside, you’ll find the base game, a steelbook game case, poster, pinset, and art book. You’ll also get a Zelda-themed fork and spoon–a preorder bonus that’s exclusive to the Japanese version of the game.
You might want to be careful before rushing off to preorder this Collector’s Edition, however, as it’s unclear if it’ll include English subtitles or voiceovers. Breath of the Wild eventually received English dubs for its Japanese version–but that update didn’t arrive until several months after launch. So unless you speak fluent Japanese (or don’t mind taking a gamble), you might want to hold out on a purchase until we hear more from Nintendo about its language options. Of course, some collectors may just want to have all of the goodies that come with this edition, in which case the language barrier may not matter.
Tears of the Kingdom doesn’t launch until May 12, but preorders for the US Collector’s Edition sold out shortly after going live. That makes this Japanese Collector’s Edition one of the only ways to get all the collectibles. It’s possible Nintendo could open another batch of preorders–but we’d expect those to sell out just as fast as the first batch.
Though the North American Collector’s Edition is hard to find, you can preorder the special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED from major retailers, including Amazon. Check out our The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom preorder guide for details on all things related to the upcoming Zelda game.

Free for all developers, WWDC23 will spotlight the latest iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS advancements. The event will also provide them with unique access to Apple engineers, as well as insight into new technologies and tools.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29 (Xinhua) — Apple announced on Wednesday the company will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in an online format June 5-9, with an opportunity for developers and students to celebrate in person on the opening day at Apple Park, in the western U.S. state of California.
Free for all developers, WWDC23 will spotlight the latest iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS advancements. The event will also provide them with unique access to Apple engineers, as well as insight into new technologies and tools.
This year’s online program will include sessions, one-on-one labs, and opportunities to engage with Apple engineers and other developers.
WWDC23 is also an opportunity to support student developers through the Swift Student Challenge, one of many Apple programs that seek to elevate developers and learners of all ages who love to code. With the help of Swift Playgrounds, students can create an app playground on a topic of their choice, according to Apple.
“WWDC is one of our favorite times of the year at Apple because it’s an opportunity to connect with the talented developers from around the globe who make this community so extraordinary,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. ■
