iPhone Reportedly Moving to All-Screen Design in Two Stages

The coming iPhone will be more iPhone than the current iPhone, and sensors and cameras will go under the display next year, every year. Further, AW non-invasive blood monitor, first mentioned in 2010, will surely be just around the corner. Some say it will be the best AW yet. And the big news, iPad will release as a 15” version with a built-in hardware keyboard, clamshell design, full size trackpad, more ports, and full macOS, and Mac will release an 11” version without a keyboard running iPadOS.

So you can no longer block the camera without blocking a part of the screen? I would pay extra for a rectangular screen without rounded corners.
Glass edges are just a distraction to make you think different.
The 20th Anniversary iPhone is going to be a transparent cube.
You read it here first.

I hope they bin off the awful camera control button too
For the 18, not sure whether Apple will keep the hole cut out off center. The 20th anniversary model will be nice. Looking forward to all the rumors in the coming months.
Unpopular opinion but I actually like the idea of it. Assuming Apple can truly make one that's durable, has haptics that can truly emulate physical buttons like their trackpads and the old iPhone home buttons, and good battery life.
Xiaomi made a proof-of concept phone years ago and it's a stunning--if impractical--piece of tech:
But I have a strong feeling even if this rumor had some verity to it, the impractical nature of the phone would probably lead Apple to scrapping the idea.

Am I only the one so weird to imagine, by looking at the mockup, a full 360° 6-sided screen? I mean, why stopping at the left and right side?
Use the piezo electric effect and make the entire display a speaker.
Having an all screen front plate is obviously going to be the definitive form of the iPhone.
Funny how it'll take 20 years, when the iPod arguably took 4 years (iPod 4g) to reach its arguably definitive form (with just a click wheel and LCD). iPhone is obviously a far more complex product, hence the 20 year gap.

It doesn't work.
The trackpad on new MacBooks is just too big. I'm constantly having spurious touches putting the cursor in the wrong place. I hate it. They had trackpad size perfected in 2008, there was no need for this giant thing that I have to be extra careful to not touch when I'm typing.
Apple has long been working towards an iPhone with an all-screen design, and it might finally achieve the feat in a few more years from now.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that Apple will shrink the size of the Dynamic Island on new iPhone models released next year. A year after that, he expects Apple to release a redesigned 20th-anniversary iPhone model.
Gurman has previously said that the 20th-anniversary iPhone will feature curved glass edges, extraordinarily slim bezels, and a truly edge-to-edge screen with no cutout. It would be the first iPhone model with a truly seamless, all-screen design.
Last month, The Information's Wayne Ma reported that next year's iPhone 18 Pro models would feature under-screen Face ID. He said that the devices would have only a small hole in the top-left corner of the screen, to accommodate the front camera. He also said that the devices would no longer have a pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen, so we are unsure what to make of Gurman saying there will still be a smaller Dynamic Island next year.
In any case, it sounds like the first all-screen iPhone model with both under-screen Face ID and an under-screen front camera will be released in 2027.
The transition to an all-screen design has been gradual. With the iPhone X in 2017, Apple moved from Touch ID and thick bezels to Face ID and a notch. With the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, Apple moved from a notch to the Dynamic Island.

What a mistake. I Hope Apple just sticks to the plan of making great devices that "work". I cant tell you how many times Ive tried to go back to Android camp and inevitably I end up back on my iPhone because it works. Better. Stronger. Faster. The ecosystem is so much better, welll really its the only one and if ANYONE says Samsung/Windows Phone Link... then you dont understand what real work is.
Or Microsoft laughing it off, only to spend billions to try to replicate what Apple did, only to fail and waste billions of dollars on phones that were pretty much immediately scrapped.
They could make part of the screen viewable but not touch capable.
John Ternus. He is the most liked VP leader inside Apple , more than Federighi
I'll take Gurman leak over Ross Young .Ross young says we won’t get all screen in 2027
That would be foolish given Ross young works with display supply chain. He would know what their plans are
Rumor is that the side edge which will be all glass will still only function as a display only for the most part with the purposeful (detected) swipe up and down in the upper quadrant to control volume. double tap in the upper quadrant to control action button.
I won't be upgrading my 15 pro to the 17 pro (I don't like ugly)

I won't be upgrading to the 18 because it's the first iteration of 2nm (made that mistake with the 3nm on the 15 pro)
So unless it's still as ugly as the 17, the 19 Pro is likely to be my next upgrade
Apple is so lost at this point. Liquid Glass and blah blah blah. FIX YOUR UX/UI, it is a mess on both macOS and iOS. Spotlight is the biggest turd ever, and their solution is, "Now it can start emails and texts." WHA? Most of the time when I hold down CMD, the path does not appear, or clicking on a file still opens it. How hard is it to understand that most of the time when you are looking for a file, you do not want to open it in the default app?! You cannot disable or delete Apple Music, so that pops up randomly. You can no longer navigate in the Finder to find an attachment for Messages on macOS. Tim Cook is the worst CEO in the history of tech. If raking in endless dollars with zero sense of pride or understanding the CX, then he is the best. He is the polar opposite of SJ.
Apple must make so much money off phone repairs and broken screens that it designs its flagship product to make sure that side of the business increases profits.
