which I think is probably like a feature having to do with people trying to swipe the camera control or something, or maybe it's a bug. I don't know.

But anyway, they've gotten so naked robotic core with the 16 line that people are now having to make the choice to get a case simply because they cannot avoid accidental input because now the screen is so close to the edge, they just can't avoid it entirely. So that is a possible thing to think about of like, am I going to go caseless?

Yeah, they're giving you the most minimal... They're trying to get closer to that naked robotic core ideal that they don't know about, but it's just a thing that I made up. But that's what they're doing. This is me explaining what they're actually doing. And if you don't like it... your choice is to put a case on it. That's the only way to get your fingers farther away from that screen surface.

It's like a robotic core. It's like, Hey, some people want the most minimal phone and they can't get that unless we ship it. You can always add a case. And there, your problem is solved with the people who want the most minimal. Now, you can argue, okay, no one wants it this minimal. Like human fingers are squishy. Like people's fingers are going to overlap.

And I also agree kind of on the 14 Pro, which had pretty big bezels, right?

But the 14 Pro that I was using previously, I was constantly finding that somehow some fleshy part of my hand was touching the right edge of the screen when I was in landscape mode and causing YouTube to fast forward because they added that thing where if you like hold on the right edge of the video, it like fast forwards or whatever.

And I'm like, oh, here's some accidental input that I hadn't thought about before. They're getting close to like, is this robotic core too naked? Will everyone who buys this phone need a case? Because again, the idea of naked robotic core is provide the phone that is naked for the people who want it because they can't remove stuff from it.

But at a certain point, it's like, okay, but who wants this? Who wants the bezels to be this small? And if the bezels are going to be that small, maybe the stainless steel, titanium, whatever the hell, aluminum, aluminum and titanium, maybe that band should be thicker. At which point, like, why did you even remove the bezels?

And now you're just adding them back by making the band thicker or whatever. But it's a thing for Apple to think about. I know they're probably going to try to solve this with software of like, oh, we just need to tweak the touch rejection around the edges, which iOS has had for ages and apparently is slightly buggy with iOS 18.0. But like, I'm not sure that's the solution.

So they may be approaching kind of like asymptotically approaching the ideal bezel size. Again, setting aside the old like phones. I think Samsung made a few of these and sort of other people where the screen was like a waterfall and it curved over the edge. So you could actually look at the side of the phone and see a portion of the screen.
