New technology is coming: Some iPhone 16 models will have narrower bezels

According to The Elec, some iPhone 16 models will feature narrower bezels due to Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology.

1. BRS technology allows for a more compact and efficient layout of the screen's underlying circuitry, allowing for narrower bezels without affecting the performance of the screen or the overall appearance of the device.

2. Given the complexity of the tighter circuit layout and the need to bend some wiring down under the bezel, this requires precise and advanced manufacturing techniques.
3. The display driver IC (DDiS) is the core component of this manufacturing challenge, controlling the activation and illumination of pixels on the OLED panel.
4. To meet Apple’s requirements, LG Display is apparently diversifying its DDI supply chain, bringing in Novatech from Taiwan, China, as well as existing supplier LX Semicon. The move is aimed at strengthening quality control while reducing costs.
5. It’s unclear whether this bezel technology is for the standard iPhone 16 models, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, or both.
6. It is more likely to appear in the iPhone 16 Pro models as the screen sizes of these devices are expected to increase from 6.1 to 6.3 inches and 6.7 to 6.9 inches without a huge increase in overall size.
