Apple To Border Reduction Structure For iPhone 16 Pro Models
Furthermore, anticipation is mounting for Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, fueled by rumours of a significant expansion in display size. According to a recent report from The Elec, spotted by 9To5Mac, Apple intends to use an innovative technology known as "Border Reduction Structure" (BRS) to achieve this objective.
Although the screen sizes of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are anticipated to remain unchanged at 6.1 and 6.7 inches, respectively, there are rumours indicating a redesigned vertical camera array to facilitate spatial video capture. It is worth noting that since the iPhone 13, Apple's non-Pro iPhone models have featured dual rear cameras arranged diagonally.
