Apple wants future iPhones to have zero bezels: Heres what we know

Apple is reportedly working with display partners Samsung and LG for a 0-bezel display on its future iPhones. Even the front camera and Face ID sensors would go under the screen. Could this be the long-rumoured iPhone Ultra?

Here is what we know:

Bezel-less iPhones

 The 0-bezel iPhone rumour comes to us from the South Korean publication The Elec (via Ice Universe). As per it, Apple is working closely with its display partners Samsung Display and LG Display to make OLED panels without any bezels and cutouts. For facilitating the latter, the iPhone may have to feature an under-display camera setup like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G.

So, if this becomes a reality, we will have iPhones with a unibody glass design. But, this could mean the iPhone will be more prone to scratches and damage. To evade this, or to protect the iPhone, it will be shielded by a new type of ultra-strong glass protection. 

BREAKING! Apple is working on a 0-bezel iPhone! Looks like Cook is a fan of mine and he hates bezels as much as I do. According to sources, Apple asked Samsung Display and LG Display to develop OLED screens without bezels at all, completely eliminating bezels and using UPC… pic.twitter.com/mP6QgOeoPw

As Ice Universe calls it, this does look futuristic. 

Perhaps, this could be the design of the rumoured iPhone Ultra model.

As per Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, this could be a more premium iPhone compared to the Pro Max model. It could carry the Ultra moniker. 

This will target the uber-premium or ultra-rich customers of Apple who wants something more than the usual set of iPhones offers. This is expected to come by the 2024 iPhone release.

So, maybe Apple will launch the iPhone 16 Ultra in 2024 with a 0-bezel display and an under-screen camera. This will be interesting and groundbreaking from a smartphone design standpoint. We are excited about this.

How to deactivate your Threads account, just follow these simple steps

Mark Zuckerberg recently dropped a bomb on us by introducing Twitter’s lookalike ‘Threads’. Without thinking twice, we all fell in the trap and downloaded it, linking an additional app to our Instagram accounts. But now that it has been a while and there’s nothing quite interesting about it, how do you deactivate this app?

Firstly, let’s put the rumours circulating on social media to a rest. Yes, as of now, deleting your Threads account will result in you losing your Instagram account too. If you don’t want that, you could deactivate your account too.

Here’s how to deactivate Threads:

I think deactivating threads is the safest bet until a solution is created to delete it without losing your Instagram account.

To do that, follow these steps:

Step 1) Open the Threads App on Android or iOS devices. Step 2) Find the ‘Profile’ button and click on that. It’s at the bottom right hand corner. Step 3) Then, on the top right corner, select the two-lines menu. Step 4) Then click on ‘Accounts’. Step 5) Then you’ll see an option to ‘Deactivate Profile’, click on that. Step 6) Then when you’re taken forward, click on the black tab to deactivate your account.

You can deactivate your Threads account only once a week after re-enabling it. Your posts, activities and threads will be hidden for that period.

Now, if deactivating isn’t enough for you and you really want to delete both your Threads and Instagram  account, then follow these steps: 

Step 1) Open the Threads App. Step 2) Go to the bottom right hand corner and select ‘Profile’. Step 3) Again, click on the two-line menu on the top-right corner. Step 4) Then go to ‘Account’. Step 5) On the next screen, choose ‘Other account settings’. Step 6) You will now be taken back to your Instagram account. Step 7) In your Instagram profile, go to the ‘Accounts Centre’ and then to ‘Personal details’. Step 8) On the next screen, click on ‘Account Ownership and Control’. Step 9) After that, select ‘Deactivation or deletion’. Step 10) You will now have to select the delete account option. Step 11) Then give your reason for the same. Step 12) It will then ask you to enter your password. Step 13) Once you do that, not only will your Threads account get deleted but also your Instagram.
