According to a new report, even Apple is planning to adopt a wide phone factor that Huawei kind of pioneered with the Huawei Pura X View.
Huawei kind of pioneered modern wide phones
Well, just to be clear, phones were wider before, but back then the bezels were very thick, and those were different times. Phones back then had way smaller displays, and so on. Huawei brought back that form factor with the Huawei Pura X View, which has a display aspect ratio of 15:9.
A number of smartphone manufacturers are rumored to join the wide phone train, and just to be clear, we’re talking about non-folding phones here. Based on a report by Instant Digital, a tipster, Apple is amongst those smartphone OEMs.
iPhones could, in “a few years”, adopt a wide phone format
The tipster claims that iPhones will, in “a few years,” adopt that form factor. The new model is allegedly going to be as wide as the iPhone 18 Pro, but adopt a shorter display and an 18:9 or 2:1 aspect ratio instead of 19.5:9.
That will, allegedly, make the phone more comfortable to use with one hand. Apple is also said to be considering combining the status bar with thet op navigation bar of many apps. That way, the display area available for app content would be only slightly smaller.
Apple is looking to move to a circular punch-hole and ultimately hide everything behind the display
Apple will do that by shrinking the Dynamic Island to a circular punch-hole, or potentially hiding it entirely behind the OLED panel. It all depends on how long it will take the company to get/develop all the necessary tech.
The tipster did say that these are very early plans, and that things could still change. So take this information with a grain of salt. Also, don’t expect this to happen next year or anything like that.
