According to reports, Apple is using a new technology for bezel reduction for the upcoming iPhone 16 series. To understand things more clearly, we need to learn about the term BRS. It is a term that abbreviates for Border Reduction Structure. Reportedly, this technology will reduce the bottom bezel of all the members of the iPhone 16 series. As per details, it will reduce the bottom bezel by rolling up coper wires beneath the panel.
According to Sisa Journal, a Korean source, BOE, LG Display, and Samsung Display have acquired this technology since these three companies will be supplying panels for iPhone 16 series. One of the main concerns about this technology is the yield rate of the production. “The entry barrier to the technology itself is not high,” stated an industry official, “but once it actually enters mass production, the volume situation may change for each company.”
Besides this, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will feature the same size and panel as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus that features a 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch 60 Hz LTPS panel respectively. The iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, might arrive with a slightly bigger display.
According to Omdia’s report, the iPhone 16 Pro could feature a 6.3-inch display and the iPhone 16 Pro Max could feature a 6.9-inch display. In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro feature a 6.1-inch display and a 6.7-inch display panel was provided on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. These larger panels will use the same LTPO display technology as the Pro models from the previous year.
There are no details about the under-display tech (UDC) that conceals the sensors from the Dynamic Island. According to Kang Min-soo, a senior researcher at Omdia, “Apple is attempting to alter the display’s shape once again by concealing Face ID or the camera behind it, but UDC technology is still lagging behind.” He went on to say that it might not happen until 2027.
