Apple's iPhone 6 will reportedly gain a "bezel-free" display when it launches later this year, according to a report from The Korea Herald focusing on both the next-generation iPhone and Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S5 smartphone.


“Scanning fingerprints on the entire screen, which was much talked about recently, will be available in the latter half of this year as there are still technological hurdles to overcome,” [the source] added, hinting that the production yield for the full-screen fingerprint scanner is still far from satisfactory.

The source said that Samsung’s top rival Apple is also testing a similar prototype sporting a bezel-less screen that features a fingerprint scanner.

I'm sorry, what is a bezel though and why do I not want it?

Just looks like there will be several sizes of iPhone 6

So this article basically says Apple is trying to develop something that Samsung is putting in the GS5?

You know that trim of plastic around your television screen? That's called a bezel.

Man now I'm gonna have to decide if I want the bigger one or not. I'd like the bigger screen, but I'd hate to have that beast in my pocket on a regular basis

On a tv, it's just to hide/protect the edge of the screen. On a watch, it holds the crystal down. I guess Apple is trying to really sell their rounded glass.

That doesn't mean anything when everyone slaps an Otterbox on the damn thing.

That's what I don't like. I like that my case wraps around the screen a little bit. It's at least some protection.

True. I was deciding between an LG g flex and galaxy note 3 the other day... Really liked the curved LG but figured it would look the same as a L normal phone once I got a case. Ended up with the note and am very pleased
