It matters to me, in the sense that I prefer to have some bezel left so I can actually hold onto the phone without accidentally pressing things on the screen.

Have you tried with an iPhone? Legit curious as I'm about to switch from a Pixel 2XL. I didn't think I'd like the giant trackpad on my MBP, but Apple does a good job with rejection about 99.9% of the time.

Now if they would please do the touch bar.

Maybe there's an opportunity for aftermarket bezels? Bezels can always be added, but never taken away.

I get an extra 5mm bezel from my case ;)

You’re holding it wrong.

It matters to me. I want as close to 0 bezel as physically possible.
