iPhone fans spot tiny ‘ridiculous’ change being made to display in iOS 18
Apple fans hope to find out all the juicy details next week about the upcoming iOS 18 update.
The announcement by the tech firm is set to take place on September 9 and is expected to unveil not only the new iPhone 16 but also more information about what to expect from the new operating system.
The upgrade could completely change the way we use our phones with the introduction of things like Apple Intelligence.

However, not all additions will be major changes, in fact, some iPhone users have spotted a tiny “ridiculous” change that is being made to the screen display.
Designer Greg Sarafian shared a video on social media, showing the small detail that he is excited about.
The tweak will mean that the iPhone will now have an expanding bezel.
If you’re like me, you’re probably now wondering what a bezel is - but it is actually a crucial part of the device’s face.
It adds structural integrity and often houses electronics such as the front-facing camera.
While some phones have elected to do away with the bezel, the iPhone has decided to turn theirs into a fun little feature with iOS 18.
The forthcoming update will see the iPhone’s screen bezel expanding when a button is being pressed.
So, whether you’re increasing or decreasing the volume, the bezel will move accordingly.
Saragian’s footage of the design detail in action - which has racked up more than 17.8 million views on X, formerly Twitter - has seen a slew of Apple fans taking to post to have their say.
One wrote: “Unreasonable details make all the difference in an experience.”
A second said: “Wow so in addition to the UI widget showing a button is being pressed to increase or decrease volume etc, there'll also be a dumb bending of the side of your screen!!! Apple have done it again, folks!!”
“It's like the drop shadow of Apple Pencil on the iPad. So dope. Wish other companies had this level of detail,” typed another.
A fourth user commented: “This is so Apple. Ridiculous. I love it.”
Another user prophesied that this feature could herald a new dawn for iPhones by writing: “So they’re obviously getting rid of physical buttons right? Step one was removing a physical switch, now it can all be haptic.”
The official release of iOS 18 is set to take place on September 16.
