We have already seen several leaked schematics for the iPhone 14 that appear to confirm the countless rumors regarding its design. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature a display design that differs from the more affordable versions. This year, Apple is adopting hole-punch displays, though the solution replacing the notch is not as refined as what is seen on Android phones. The “pill-and-hole” design has reappeared in a leaked schematic for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which also reveals an interesting detail regarding the bezels.

It appears that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have bezels that are 20% thinner than those of its predecessor. If this holds true for the Pro Max model, it is reasonable to expect the same change in the iPhone 14 Pro.

Most rumors regarding the iPhone 14’s design indicate that the series will be available in two sizes. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will feature 6.1-inch displays, just like their predecessors. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will come with 6.7-inch displays.

It should be noted that the name “iPhone 14 Max” has not been confirmed. However, this is what most people call the 6.7-inch iPhone—the more affordable version—that will replace the “mini” model.

What is the size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

Rumors suggest that the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max will share the same design as the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. They will feature the same “notch”—which is already narrower in the iPhone 13 series—and the screen sizes will remain the same.

According to leaks, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will not have a notch at the top. Instead, Apple will incorporate a pill-shaped cutout alongside a circular hole in the display, designed to house the Face ID system, the FaceTime camera, and other sensors. This “new notch” should facilitate Apple’s transition toward a future where the iPhone features a hole-punch display, or perhaps a design that is, in essence, all-screen.

That said, we recently came across a rather peculiar rumor regarding the iPhone 14: a report claimed that the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max would be taller than the non-“Pro” models. This increase in height would allow Apple to integrate the cutouts into the display. However, the rumor did not suggest that the Pro models would have different screen sizes.

This brings us to the new design schematics for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which help shed some light on the matter. Reducing the bezels by 20% sounds impressive; however, given that the bezels on the iPhone 13 are already minimal, the change might go unnoticed—unless you place the iPhone 14 Pro Max next to an iPhone 14 or an earlier iPhone model.

A leak regarding the new design suggests thinner bezels.

If this leak is accurate, the bezels on the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be thinner. According to a schematic of the iPhone 14 Pro Max posted on Twitter, the device will feature bezels measuring 1.95 mm in thickness. By comparison, the bezels on the iPhone 13 Pro Max are 2.42 mm thick.

Although the difference is not significant, MacRumors speculates that Apple aims to reduce the bezels to gain more screen space between the edge and the pill-shaped and hole-punch cutouts. According to the iPhone 14 Pro Max schematics, these cutouts will be positioned 2.29 mm from the top bezel.

If this data is correct, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have a slightly larger screen area than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Both the height and width will increase marginally, which will also result in an increase in the diagonal measurement. However, this increase would be so minimal that Apple might not even mention it; in other words, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s display will likely still be listed as 6.7 inches in the technical specifications.

Revisiting earlier rumors about the iPhone 14 Pro, this schematic appears to confirm that the higher-end models will be slightly taller than the more affordable versions.

If the schematic for the iPhone 14 Pro Max is accurate, we can assume that the iPhone 14 Pro will also feature these thinner bezels—especially if the new notch design is the reason for this unexpected change.
