Zero photos where you can actually see how thick the bezels are on the 12 Pro's product page. Guess it's safe to assume it'll be pretty disappointing considering how much they talked about thinner bezels.
- Guereric 6y agoAt a certain point, does the bezel thickness matter anymore? Surely not to me.
- smadsen 6y agoIt matters to me, in the sense that I prefer to have some bezel left so I can actually hold onto the phone without accidentally pressing things on the screen.
- xnx 6y agoMaybe there's an opportunity for aftermarket bezels? Bezels can always be added, but never taken away.
- binaryblitz 6y agoHave you tried with an iPhone? Legit curious as I'm about to switch from a Pixel 2XL. I didn't think I'd like the giant trackpad on my MBP, but Apple does a good job with rejection about 99.9% of the time.
- hughw 6y agoNow if they would please do the touch bar.
- briandear 6y agoYou’re holding it wrong.
- intrasight 6y agoI get an extra 5mm bezel from my case ;)
- cercatrova 6y agoIt matters to me. I want as close to 0 bezel as physically possible.
- saagarjha 6y ago…isn't there one the moment you scroll down?
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoConveniently the image on the display has a black background so you can't make out the bezels. Or maybe, we're being served different pages.
- metafunctor 6y agoI can see it pretty clearly. Maybe turn up your screen’s brightness?
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoYep, that actually made a pretty big difference. Thanks.
- oefrha 6y agoMore like you really need to adjust your monitor’s contrast.
- olex 6y agoLooking at specs, the 12 (and 12 Pro) has the same 6.1" screen size as the XR/11 did, but body length and width are both about 4mm smaller. So that's ~2mm less bezel all around presumably.
- jghn 6y agoWhere are you seeing this? On the Apple site they list the 12 pro as being 146.7mm x 71.5mm whereas the 11 Pro was 144mm x 71.4 mm. That's a larger surface area than the 11 Pro, not smaller.
- olex 6y agoI was comparing the 12 and 12 Pro to the base 11 and XR, not the 11 Pro. Base 11 and XR had the same 6.1" screen size as the 12 lineup, the 11 Pro has a smaller screen (5.85", identical to the X/XS and not present in the 12 lineup anymore).
- jghn 6y agoAh right. I'd forgotten the 11 was smaller than the 11 Pro.
- jedberg 6y agoYou can divine it from the tech specs page by comparing the screen size to your existing phone. https://www.apple.com/iphone-12-pro/specs/ https://www.apple.com/iphone-12-pro/specs/
- slacka 6y agoI HATE thin bezels. I actually returned my Galaxy S10 because palm-misclicks dove me crazy. After 19 days of practice and different grips, random clicks didn't get any better.
- xnx 6y agoWould thicker case help this problem?
- lucasmullens 6y agoApple might be better at detecting if it's your palm or an intentional tap. MacBook trackpads are great at detecting palm vs finger, so I wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone does well with that too.
- shadowgovt 6y agoIt's kind of fascinating how subtle the math and engineering on this sort of thing is. I can't stand how, after this many decades of iteration, the Lenovo ThinkPad still mis-comprehends accidentally brushing against the trackpad while you're typing (and the form factor of the whole keyboard / trackpad combo does one no favors unless one touches the keyboard like a hook-handed monster).
- andmarios 6y agoIn Linux this is a solved problem by a very simple measure. The gestures (click by tapping, scrolling) are turned off while you type for a short period of time (around 300ms) after each key-press. It works surprisingly well and I've never noticed the trackpad not working when I need it too.
- Toutouxc 6y agoI have -- attempting to play Minecraft on a touchpad, or just multitasking real quick. While not a huge problem, macOS does it better and the simple measure is just that - a simple measure.
- simonh 6y agoIs the fact that wanting thinner bezels when they are 5mm wide != wanting thinner bezels when they are 1mm wide, really something that needs pointing out? Apparently so.

- bonestamp2 6y agoI can see where the screen ends and the bezel begins on the compare page. Turning up your screen's brightness and/or contrast might help.
