You can still do it, except like the Vision Pro and Apple Watch you have to announce the product months before it actually ships to stay ahead of the supply chain leaks.

The next few years sounds exciting for iPhone! It’s about time!
Better to pair the release of the OS redesign with the 20th anniversary iPhone.
I reckon! See ya culture built by actual people in conference rooms talking one on one with Apple reps. There is a MASSIVE gap for someone new to fill, if not someone to replace Tim ‘loose lips sink ships’ Cook, then perhaps even a couple of young innovators (who aren’t ******s) to challenge Apple Computer, Garmin, MS, Musk, et al. Feeling like innovation is dead in the US and the next tech wave will come from elsewhere 🤔
Samsung already tried curved glass screens and from what I saw, it wasn't really practical from a usage standpoint.
I thought I read somewhere it'd be similar to the Watch Series 7's screen where it appears to start wrapping around a bit.
iOS 26's shimmery new Liquid Glass design will be a precursor to the 20th-anniversary iPhone, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said that the 20th-anniversary iPhone will feature curved glass edges, extraordinarily slim bezels, and a truly edge-to-edge screen with no cutout. Inside Apple, he said that the device is known as the "Glasswing," in reference to a type of butterfly that has transparent wings.
The new iOS design will pair nicely with the simplistic, all-glass 20th-anniversary iPhone, which is expected to launch in September 2027.
The new Liquid Glass design will be unveiled during Apple's WWDC 2025 keynote this Monday.

Sound contradictory. Wouldn’t a truly edge-to-edge screen mean zero bezels?
I am so stocked for the 20th Anniversary iPhone more than this years phone & the iphone 18.
that begs the question: where do you want to search? Cause you will not find any here on earth
Curved glass? Please no.

Man give me an iPhone X with a screen like AW S7 and I'm sold
A perfect pane of polished glass they make,
A fragile beauty, for perfection's sake.
We wrap it safe in rubber, thick and vast,
And bring the bezel back from ages past.

Two years, new fantastic device, liquid glass, better AI, fancy Siri... Bring it on. I'm buying that bridge!
I share the same feeling as you.
I even looked it up in my bookmarks. Upon re-read it, all the nostalgia & the old fever pitch of anticipation feeling hit me hard like crazy.
Doing the exact same thing here. I hope they will come to senses and offer at least one smaller model than the gigantic stuff they are currently making. Once in 5 years is totally fine by me if they don’t think yearly cycles are worth it.
