The 3-pack from ESR for my 16 Pro Max doesn’t have any black borders. I got them for $8.50 during Amazon Prime Day, which was a steal. Here’s a link if you want to check them out. They are currently $10, which is still a good deal.
I haven’t seen any of those. The Belkin one at the Apple Store doesn’t have it either.
When I searched on Amazon UK during the iPhone 16 launch, I found most options were clear. I definitely had plenty to choose from without a bezel.
I have an amFilm for my 16PM, and there’s no black bezel or rainbow effect.
Do Spigen and ESR protectors not have bezels?
I’ve never seen that, but the ugly ring on the back of the ESR TPU cases is terrible.
What do you mean by bezel? Are you referring to a black ring around the edge of the glass? You’re not talking about the tool used to apply the glass, right?

No, some of them have a black border around the edge of the screen protector, which can cut off the screen if it’s not applied perfectly or viewed from an angle.

I had the same issue with my first protector, but I just got one from Hoda for my Pro Max 16, and it has very thin black borders that don’t cover anything.
For years, I just put on any screen protector without thinking. Then they came out with ceramic glass, and I tried going without. I haven’t used a screen protector in years now. You might want to give it a try. The glass is pretty good these days.
Any decent brand doesn’t have bezels.

Actually, I’ve found the opposite to be true.
It’s the same for the 15 Pro Max.
Spigen does have protectors without bezels, but I loved the older Spigen protectors. The one for the 16PM is really bad right now. The edges chip very quickly, but if they fix that, these could be perfectly clear.
