It's not like there was a big giant one inch border like there was in the original iPad. Like the border around the screen, uh, on the iPhone has always been pretty small, but I was like, no, we need to make it smaller. because that border is a thing that if you don't want it, you can't remove it from the phone. You can always add a border by putting a case on it.

But if you get a phone and you want no border, you can't have that unless we ship you the naked robotic core. And then it's up to you to decide. We ship you, if they could ship it with zero border, they would like a Samsung phone with the screen goes over the edge or rounded or whatever, right? They're getting real close to essentially having zero border.

And you can decide, is zero border what you want? If not, add a case. And now the screen is so close to the edge that I've heard from so many people with iPhone 16s that they're accidentally activating things on the screen simply by the act of holding the phone. Because the meat of their fingers wraps around and ends up touching the screen part. And yes, the iPhone and iOS has all sorts of like...

what we would call on the iPad palm rejection, but essentially touch rejection, rejecting what the OS thinks is an inadvertent touch, but it's not enough for some people. There's still some of their touches are getting through.

And by the way, I think there's a fun one where like, if you, if you touch the screen where right by the camera control, where like the little camera control controls would appear on the screen, if you touch the screen there and then try to do anything else anywhere on the screen, all your touches are ignored.

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.
