Apple's Zero-Bezel iPhone Delayed Due to Technical Challenges

Reports suggest the bezel-free iPhone, initially targeted for 2026, faces indefinite delays as manufacturers struggle with development hurdles.

Apple's long-rumored 'zero-bezel' iPhone, featuring an all-screen design, is facing significant technical development delays.
The technology, which requires under-display integration for cameras and sensors, is not yet advanced enough for mass production according to industry sources.
Samsung and LG, Apple's display suppliers, are reportedly encountering challenges with thin film encapsulation and optical clear adhesive technologies needed for durability and performance.
The bezel-free design will maintain Apple's signature flat display with angular edges, avoiding the curved designs seen in some competing devices.
The iPhone model with this technology is now unlikely to launch by 2026, with no revised timeline currently confirmed by Apple.
