by Many of the most popular speculative concepts for Apple’s new iPhone have depicted a unit without bezels (most notably in the work of Martin Hajek, seen below), but now news is surfacing from The Korea Herald (via Cult of Mac) that this is what we’ll be seeing in the new release, after all.
Citing unnamed “industry sources” (but of course), The Korea Herald states that the absence of bezels will allow the screen to stretch all the way across the face of the phone, and the unit would once again include a fingerprint scanner as well.

Perhaps not surprisingly, The Korea Herald claims that Samsung also plans to deliver a bezel-less Galaxy 5 for its next release, which will include its own take on the fingerprint scanner we see on the iPhone 5s. The report gives no insight into how Apple might change the face of the phone in order to accommodate the larger screen and the scanner.
9to5Mac was pretty quick to “debunk” the rumor earlier today considering the site’s own enthusiastic rumor dropping as of late, and it suggested not taking much stock in the reports. “Clearly the company is toying with several ideas,” 9to5Mac said, “but today’s reports don’t hold much weight in terms of determining what we’ll likely see in the next generation device eight months from now.”
