I stand by my idea that he would had retained one handed use because he was crazy about it. You can't get one handed use with phones bigger than 130x65mm. In fact the closer you are to 116x58mm the better ... and the only way to do that is 4.5 inches bezeless... pretty much the only size that ensures one handed use for everybody, yet big enough screen for most people.

    It's a rumor, 27 Dec 2016Why is everyone complaining about bezels? If you don't lik... moreSimple. Bezels make phones big and ugly for their screen size.

    A grade A phone should keep them at minimum, sadly they don't (many of them) which is why I find their design out dated.

    You can build the phone in a smart way so that it won't have problems with it shattering or accidental touches.

      It's a rumor, 27 Dec 2016Why is everyone complaining about bezels? If you don't lik... moreActually you can have them all. Call me Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, etc... but if a mediocre product is fine with you, then yes Apple is on the list.

      Anyways, it isn't really surpising to see Apple copying blatantly Huawei and Xiaomi. I am reffering to dual camera setup. Apple was never a leader in innovation. In design maybe, in technical innovation just no.

                Why is everyone complaining about bezels? If you don't like bezels, don't buy this phone. Go buy some cheap chinese phones and complain about its functionalities and/or quality. You can't have it all. bezelless phone, cheap, perfect screen size, high specs, highest res cameras front/back with ois made from Apple.

                  I guess this is considered innovative.

                          Anonymous, 27 Dec 20164.5 inch is a perfect size Yup, "4.5 is the ideal screen size for me but it also depends on the bezels and dimensions. The Moto X (2013) had a "4.7 but was only about 130mm, or 7mm shorter than the iPhone 6 and 7 series. Apple can fit a "5 display onto an iPhone 7 footprint if they finally had the "courage" to get rid of those ugly top and bottom bezels. It probably grows 143-144mm in height but if Apple decides to go like the Mi Mix, maybe it stays at the same height of the current iPhone 7 or a little shorter.

                                It would be nice to reduced bezel size, regardless of screen size. I'm sure this comment is too racy for gsmarena's always vigilant, stalwart moderators, though. What a joke.

                                  So 5" is very trendy now every OEM has one for their flagship thanks to Apple as usual late leading the way.

                                      Well, about that vertical dual-camera - they have to make something to differ from ordinary iPhone 7 visually. Otherwise it would be very hard to tell the difference between them. But anyway it is just ridiculous :))

                                        there are a million reasons for me to get other smartphone rather than the iphone which is merely just a perfect illusion....
