That does away with the top and bottom bezels, and features like the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and the front-facing camera are housed. Instead, Touch ID and the camera may be built directly into the display, meaning there will be no Home button.
With this kind of design, the display would take up the entire front of the iPhone. But it isn’t clear if the display will grow to fit the iPhone or if the iPhone will be shrunken down to fit the display.

It may also feature edges that are curved on both sides, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
