I don't get why some people get so worked up about bezels. I like being able to hold my devices without accidental inputs, and to me they look better anyway.
I wouldn't mind 3cm wide bezels and accordingly larger batteries.
This. Phones are already a real trade-off between usability and screen size. I've reached (or perhaps slightly gone over) the minimum amount of grabbing space I want on a phone and mine isn't quite the sleekest model
I was just thinking the same thing. Why couldn't they give it a tiny bezel, with a software option to put a virtual bezel if you want to hold it in a way it matters.
They could even give it only the virtual bezel on the left and right sides, in whichever orientation you're holding it, since you don't really hold it on the top or bottom.

Virtual bezels and let the user choosing.
Dynamically get larger as battery life decreases
And pay for a screen size I won't use? No, thanks.

iPads need to have some sort of bezel, else how are you going to hold the thing? iPhones you can grip the sides, iPads not so much.

iPhone 16 pro max is almost there with the screen size, also a two-hands device

Ugh, my batteries need recharging.
Will nuclear powered phones with built-in fusion reactors that never need recharging ever be a thing?
An edge to edge screen is entirely technically feasible tho. The iPhone has it.
