iPhone 19 Pro Prototype in Testing Allegedly Has Quad-Curved Display

I agree. But I doubt, the edge area will be touch-active. It will give Apple the opportunity to expand on the Dynamic Island metaphor , i.e. active-screen-is-the-sea theme by referring to the edge area as “Static Shoreline” 😀😜

They can market it as “the edgiest party at the shore you’ve ever seen” 😛

Could the X have been both, maybe? Because it came out in 2007+10 as “10” when it should have been “9” and marked the 12th generation iPhone. I have never seen it not referred to as an anniversary phone.

Apple never, ever referred to it as such, and it was followed a year later by the XS and XR.

No speakers or charging port? Unless there are more cutouts in the display.

Have you ever seen an Apple Watch? Somehow it has buttons, speaker and a quad curve display.

so iPhone 19 will look similar to an Apple Watch?

I’m wondering if they could put the camera under the display then have code that makes the camera area of the display shutoff during the moment of taking the picture.

Current Android phones with an under-display camera already do that, but they can't produce high-quality images (at least to Apple's standards) since the electronics in the display layer (wires, etc.) even when not illuminated, blocks a lot of the light that needs to get to the camera sensor. Depending on the panel generation, only about 15% to 40% of ambient light actually makes it through the display to the camera sensor. Apple/Samsung (etc?) are working on new display technology and AI cleanup to overcome this limitation, but it's not ready yet.

Not literally did Apple refer to it as such but practically.

Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice … “it is the beginning of the next ten years for iPhone.”

Apple wanted it to be pronounced “ten”, not “ecks”. They released the X along with the 8 in 2017 but did not name it 9 or 11 — coincidence? Yes, also to start a new iPhone era with the X as Jony Ive is quoted in the announcement on Apple.com (same as above)

Fact is, the media world typically referred to it as anniversary phone, for example: https://appleinsider.com/articles/2...he tenth anniversary of the original iPhone. : “This new iPhone was unveiled specifically to mark and to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the original iPhone.”

Clearly, it served as an anniversary and start of a new era phone.
