The 20th Anniversary iPhone Could Showcase a Totally All-Display Design


We haven’t yet had the opportunity to examine the iPhone 17, but whispers surrounding the iPhone 20 have already begun to circulate.

Yes, that’s true.

A recent article from The Information (via BGR) reveals that initial insights are surfacing about what Apple may have planned for its 20th anniversary iPhone, anticipated to debut in 2027. The key highlight? An authentic edge-to-edge display. This implies a screen that spans from one end of the device to the other—no notch, no Dynamic Island, just a seamless display.

But don’t fret, the selfie camera is here to stay. Rather, Apple is said to be planning to position it beneath the screen—a first for the iPhone. Although Apple hasn’t utilized this technology yet, other smartphone manufacturers, such as Google with its Pixel series, have already played with under-display elements like fingerprint sensors.

This leak is part of a larger report indicating that Apple aims to revamp its iPhone release approach. Instead of debuting all new models in September as it has for many years, Apple might begin releasing the premium Pro models in the fall while reserving the more budget-friendly base models for a launch in spring. This would coincide with other recent reports suggesting that Apple is contemplating annual upgrades to its economical iPhones.

All of this unfolds amid persistent speculation that Apple is also investigating foldable devices and crafting a new ultra-slim iPhone model. Clearly, the future of the iPhone is poised to be anything but mundane.
