20th-Anniversary iPhone Leak Reveals a Significant Design Change
Apple's former design chief Jony Ive long dreamed of an iPhone with a truly all-screen design, and his wish might finally become reality in a few more years.
The Information last month cited multiple sources who said that at least one new iPhone model launching in 2027 will have a truly edge-to-edge display. The device's front camera and Face ID system would both be placed under the screen.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also said that the 20th-anniversary iPhone will have a "mostly glass" design, without any cutouts in the display. Korea's ETNews reported that the device will have no bezels around the screen.
2027 will mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, so the all-screen design could arrive at a significant moment in the device's history.
As a stepping stone towards this all-screen design, The Information said that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be equipped with under-screen Face ID, with only a small pinhole remaining for the front camera on those devices.
The all-screen design would likely be reserved for higher-end iPhones, so it is likely coming on the iPhone 19 Pro models in September 2027.
