Bigger Displays Rumored for Next Year's iPhone Models

[MacRumors]

Apple is prototyping a second new iPhone display, this one measuring around 6.4 inches, that could be destined for the 20th anniversary iPhone, according to a Chinese leaker.

In a recent post on Weibo, the leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" said Apple is currently sampling two new display panels. One measures roughly 6.4 inches and has a chance of being used in the "‌iPhone 20 Pro‌," while the other is the approximately 7-inch panel previously reported for the larger ‌"iPhone 20 Pro Max‌."

According to the leaker, physical screen sizes across the entire 20th anniversary lineup are set to increase while the aspect ratio stays the same as before, and the devices may adopt an all-new borderless design with curves on all four edges. That would line up with earlier claims that the lineup will feature an edge-to-edge display with curved glass on all sides for a nearly borderless visual effect.

A 6.4-inch screen would be a modest step up from the 6.3-inch displays on the current ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ and the upcoming ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, which is not expected to change size this year. Apple last grew its premium iPhone displays with the iPhone 16 Pro lineup in 2024, when the iPhone 16 Pro increased from 6.1 to 6.3 inches and the iPhone 16 Pro Max grew from 6.7 to 6.9 inches.

The claim follows a Bloomberg report from last month that said Apple had ramped up work on two sizes of the 20th-anniversary iPhone.

In addition to the new design and larger displays, Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone models are expected to feature under-display Face ID technology, a custom Apple image sensor, haptic buttons, the A21 chip, higher bandwidth memory, and a pure silicon battery.

Damn the fanny pack i use for my iphone will become too small, i will have to wear a backpack all day long to store my phone.

 

[GuyDouche]

Thicker and heavier than a bowl of oatmeal

Bigger is better........THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! 😁

 

[Kylo83]

.1 inch isn’t must bigger just thinner bezels

 

[sniffies]

Can't wait to accidentally trigger jiggle mode non-stop.

6.4inch screen hopefully equates to a slightly WIDER phone. Good with me. Height already plentiful.

Heavier, Bigger and Bigger phones.. NO THANKS

 

[Nyx1]

C'mon Apple make iPhone with wider screen

 

[aka777]

Heavier, Bigger and Bigger phones.. NO THANKS

They made the air and everyone complained about that too.

 

[krspkbl]

Yes please I’ll happily upgrade to a bigger phone!

 

[zorinlynx]

They keep bumping up screen sizes every now and then, how long until the non-max become as big as the Max was a few years ago?

Are people really demanding such huge phones? Pockets are only so big!

 

[nottorp]

Curved glass all around so you break it the first time you drop it?

If i believed in conspiracies I'd think Apple wants us to replace our phones more often...

And will the 2028 model require a wheelbarrow (sold separately) to carry it around?

They made the Air compromised, overpriced, and with a massively awkward camera bump. I like the air minus the terrible battery, audio, and big ol’ camera hips it has going on.

6.3 is already big enough with a relatively thin case on, https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/most-women-think-phones-have-gotten-too-big.

eventualy something will give in the market if phones reach average 6.5"+

 

[shinkansenwarrior]

Talk about Samsung copying Apple ..... cough cough.... seems it has gone 180 on the front side design.
I guess if they make the cameras lenses stick out more and more each year there will be a difference on the back.

 

[UliBaer]

Wrong direction, phablets are already waaayyy too large. 😐

 

[bluecoast]

Is that a surfboard in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

Oh, it's an iPhone 20 pro max!

 

[TheBeverage]

Guess when the mini dies I'm moving to Amish country.

 

[Taq'aix]

Wow, another needlessly long and overcomplicated article from MR that no one needs to read.

I use an air after an iphone 14 pro. Air is better. better batt, better handling. only thing is the pro had a nice r camera set but it's no big deal, as I get the benefit of the sleekness 100% of the time but only got the benefit of the extra camera guff occasionaly.

I have the feeling that when this redesigned, all glass iPhone 20 (or whatever they decide to call it, just not XX) will look nothing like these renders. Can’t see Apple recycling a design that Samsung tried and it didn’t quite work very well for them.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Finally!

I'd like some that are even wider and heavier too while we are making tweaks.

Awesome sauce!

I use the Air and for me it is brilliant. The only thing I could ask for improvement is better battery live. Camera and speakers don’t bother me. I have professional camera and also AirPods. The rest, is pretty much just like the iPhone pros but thinner and lighter.
