iPhone 15 Pro display leak shows off its super-thin bezels

The iPhone 15 leaks and rumors continue to arrive at a steady rate: the latest sneak preview we've got is of the screen components for the phone, which show of the super-thin display bezels apparently appearing on the iPhone 15 Pro models.

These images supposedly showing the glass heading to the iPhone 15 models come courtesy of well-known tipster Ice Universe. We've got shots of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max devices, plus some iPhone 14 screens for comparison.

You may remember that the same source previously claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max would have the thinnest bezels of any phone ever made, coming in at a mere 1.55 millimeters (0.061 inches) – and it looks like the iPhone 15 Pro will match that.

Thinner and thinner

According to the leaker, the iPhone 15 will copy the bezel size of the iPhone 14 Pro at 2.1mm (0.083 inches), while the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max will be even thinner. These very small changes aren't easy to see on these leaked photos.

We've also heard that the new iPhone 15 handsets are going to come with more rounded edges, which should add to the aesthetic appeal of the phones (unless you were a particular fan of the flat, straighter-edged look of the recent models).

All should be revealed around September time, which is when Apple traditionally unveils its new iPhones. Before that we've got the WWDC 2023 event in June, where we're expecting to hear all the details about the upcoming iOS 17.

Analysis: it's all about that display

What we can also tell from these leaked images is that the smaller notch and the Dynamic Island feature are going to be included on all of the iPhone models this time around, rather than being exclusive to the more expensive Pro editions.

The display notch is smaller than ever before, but it might not be around forever: rumors persist that Apple is working on ways to get the Face ID sensor and other components embedded under the display, so no notch would be required.

Add in Apple's attempts to make the bezels on the iPhone thinner than ever, and it's clear that the screen is the priority. It looks likely that eventually the iPhone will be all about that screen when viewing it from the front.

Bear in mind too that some of the iPhone 15 models are being tipped to replace the mechanical buttons with solid-state versions, another indication of the iPhone taking a minimal and compact approach to design in the years to come.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
