Apple's latest iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is set to break records with its ultra-thin bezels around the display. Reports suggest that the smartphone will have front bezels that are only 1.55mm thick, making it the smartphone with the smallest bezels ever created. The current record for the thinnest bezel is held by the Xiaomi 13 with a thickness of 1.81mm.
The glass panels of the iPhone 15 series were recently shown in a leaked video, which revealed that the Pro models will have thinner bezels than the standard phone. However, reports suggest that Apple will save its Always-On and ProMotion display technologies for the next iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphone models.

The iPhone X, released in 2017, was the first phone to introduce slim bezels on all sides except for the top notch. However, other phone manufacturers have since caught up and Apple has been gradually reducing the width of its bezels over time. The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max is set to be a game-changer in terms of design, with its super-thin bezel treatment.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max will not be alone in having thinner bezels, as CAD renders show that the smaller iPhone 15 Pro will also have thinner bezels. Both phones will use the "Dynamic Island" design with a centered pill-shaped punch hole. The standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will also switch to the Dynamic Island design but will not have ProMotion displays.

One significant change coming to all iPhone 15 models is the USB-C port, according to reports. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will also have upgraded RAM, a titanium frame, and solid-state buttons with haptic feedback. Additionally, only the iPhone 15 Pro devices will have Wi-Fi 6E network functionality from the iPhone manufacturer.

Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is set to push the boundaries of smartphone design with its ultra-thin bezels and rumored upgrades. With its potential to be a game-changer in terms of design, it's sure to be a hit with tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
