iPhone 20 Rumored to Have Biggest Revamp Since iPhone X

[MacRumors]

Apple plans to release a special 20th-anniversary iPhone next year with the biggest design changes since the iPhone X, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Unveiled by Steve Jobs in 2007, the iPhone turns 20 next year. To mark the occasion, the report said Apple plans to release a 20th-anniversary iPhone with "curved glass around all corners and edges" and thinner bezels around the screen.

"It will be the biggest overhaul to what is now the iPhone Pro line since the iPhone X," the report said, but no further details were provided.

Released in 2017, the iPhone X was the first iPhone with Face ID. The removal of the Touch ID button allowed for the iPhone X's screen to extend more towards the edges of the device compared to previous models. It seems like the 20th-anniversary iPhone would go a step further than this by truly having the screen wrap around the corners and edges of the device, for a seemingly all-glass appearance.

Rumors about the 20th-anniversary iPhone have gone back and forth, but based on Gurman's latest reporting today, the device seems to be in the works still. However, it remains to be seen if Apple can fully achieve the ambitious design changes that are apparently in development, or if plans for the device will ultimately be scaled back.

Why do you keep posting that picture when the description is basically what the Apple Watch edges look like? It won't look like that picture.

Can't wait to accidentally trigger jiggle mode on my iPhone even more easily and more often.

Im very curious to see if they will actually go full bezel-less

Prices are rising in 2026 but ohhh just wait on this iPhone next year, they will add another $100 on to the starting price.

Crazy to think the Pro (not even the Max) series may be starting at $1,349 next year.

 

[now i see it]

Just give it the exact same LCD panel as the 6S Plus had and it will be an instant winner.
But of course they’ll never do that.

And the biggest price since the iPhone 2g !

I don’t know if the image MacRumors keeps using for this 20th-anniversary iPhone will be anything close to accurate. But, assuming it is, it doesn’t look like anything I’d be interested in.

I dont see this much of a change if only difference is that the "bezel spills over to the side". Arguably maybe the foldable iphone should have been the 20th anniversary one, its actually a new form factors (for apple), and if they put actual ipad OS, that would be so beyond 20th anniversary stuff!

Biggest revamp - still a slab 😱 😛

Reckon a foldable iPhone will be the biggest revamp since iPhone X.

What else can they do — add a physical keyboard? What innovation! What gumption… we require confetti and fireworks.

Word is it will be display on back, front and even the sides of the phone. You will be able to get alerts and they would show up on the sides. you would be able to play battleship with a friend where you use one side and they use the other side to view/interact.

Good to hear. As I've decided to do anniversary phone upgrade cycles only after giving the X and Xr both a ride from their respective launches till 2026. I could have given it another year but decided to upgrade anyways to 17e. I interact with sites that sometimes require you to do a log in challenge. I struggled for awhile to update some very important account info cause I only had my iPhone available at this particular time. Every time I'd take the photo required for verification my phone would sometimes hard reset. This only reason I went and got a 17e to hold me over till iPhone 20.

I hate incremental upgrades but at times I'd like a more valid reason for not participating in them. I forgot for awhile my X was an anniversary phone.

I won't care what the price when it releases cause 9-10 years of use makes it a lot cheaper than going from iPhone to iPhone yearly.

I'd rather occasionally upgrade my companion device, which in this case is the iPad Mini, which is what I use together with iPhone. Whether at home or away.

Anniversary phone only upgrade vibe is pretty much the most stress free lifestyle choice I've made for myself lately. There's No FOMO. They're built super well. Unique. Don't have to deal with incremental upgrades. And as a casual phone user going after another anniversary phone I get a lot more than what I'd normally bargain for.

A.I.O - ANNIVERSARY iPHONES ONLY

PLEASE let the smaller one be lighter than the current 17 Pro. I really liked the size and weight of the 15 Pro, and do understand that the battery improvements from the 17 Pro were huge, but I miss the weight of the older device.

It’s time for new battery technology. The Chinese phone makers are leading the way.

<looks at current 16 Pro> Well... I did wait for the Xs once it was released.

 

[BobMcBob]

I hope it's a mini.

I can't wait for jiggle mode to be buried under the rubble of history.

It was cute in iPhoneOS 1.0. It is an abomination today.
