Black border around screen on iPhone SE 3rd gen after iOS 18.4 update I updated my iphone SE 3rd gen to ios 18.4. I now notice there's an annoying black border around the edge of the whole screen, meaning the aspect ratio of the screen is incorrect, and the screen isn't full sized anymore. This wasn't an issue before I update the iOs. I checked Zoom and accessibility and that didn't help. I also restarted the phone. This seems like a glitch that Apple has caused. Is there any way for me to fix this in settings, or do I just have to accept that a software update that's supposed to improve experience has now worsened it [Re-Titled By Moderator]

iPhone screen shrunk after iOS update. After updating my iPhone to 17.2.1, my phone screen has shrunk. Before you say change bold text, make sure your zoom is not on, ensure you don’t default display, I have done all these things. My screen border got little smaller around edges like a few mm, and it’s just so slight you might not even notice it. I have a 13 pro max, and my eyes immediately noticed it. Like a tiny bit of screen got disabled or just no longer get used. If Apple wanted people to upgrade or something they made phone screen smaller? Supper annoyed. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Any response on this or idea how to fix it. I’ve lost at least 10 mm around the edge of the screen. Very noticeable.
