Why does iPhone always have so much bezel?

Why does iPhone always have so much bezel?

That's a 65% screen to body ratio on a flagship smartphone in 2016. What the fuck?

apple is shit

Pretty much dis.

iPhone 6s user here. The extra bezel on the top and bottom makes it easier to grip when thumbing the touchscreen. Used to have a cheap android with minimal top and bottom bezels and it was pretty awkward to hold, although it only had a 4 inch screen. My previous Samgsung galaxy had similar top and bottom bezels and screen size to the iPhone which also made it nice to hold. Biggest problem with the iPhone is it's too thin.

Because it's what normies want

>Because it's what normies want
And people who are normal are logically the majority. You abnormals aren't. That's why things are never the way you want them.

It's basically part of the image.
They've only just cut down on the size of the bezels on the Macbooks.

Doesn't it cost more to make if the bezels are thick?

People buy iPhones no matter what's wrong with them, e.g. the 720p screen when 100 pound phones now have 1080p, so there's no reason to change it if it's cheaper to make.

How does somebody not have enough common sense to realize that the bezel on a hand-held device is so that you can hold it and still see the entire screen without your thumb or finger blocking some part of the screen?

You fags are insufferable.

the same issue with google pixel
just look at it
how is this acceptable in 2016?
it looks like a cheapo $45 phone from india

The bezel houses the USB Type-C daughterboard.

Even cheaper chink type C phones don't have this issue.

Maybe I've just adapted to androids but I hold more along the backside than top or bottom.
And I think the side bezel is the real issue.

>USB Type-C
this phone has usb type c too

This.

4 fingers on the back, one thumb on the screen.

nexus 5 has a nearly perfect screen/bezel ratio

>I need to get mad at Apple about something today!!!

pixels have slightly less bezel than iphones, but it's still no excuse

>that middle picture
