The iPhone of Your Dreams is Reportedly Less Than Two Years Away

[MacRumors]

In line with previous rumors, The Information today reported that Apple is planning to release a special 20th-anniversary iPhone less than two years from now.

The report said the device will have a seamless design, with a curved glass enclosure and no cutouts in the display. Apple is expected to move Face ID under the screen starting with the iPhone 18 Pro models next year, and the report said the 20th-anniversary iPhone will also feature an under-screen front camera.

The publication said it could not yet learn if the display itself will curve around the edges, as shown in our conceptual mockup above. Nevertheless, it appears that Apple is working on a very ambitious design for the 20th-anniversary iPhone, much like the iPhone X was a game-changer for the iPhone's 10th-anniversary.

At a minimum, the report said the 20th-anniversary iPhone will lack bezels around the screen for a true edge-to-edge experience. It said the device has only a "narrow metal band running around the midpoint of the device's edge, where the buttons sit."

Many of these details were previously reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Apple is expected to release the 20th-anniversary iPhone around September 2027, so it is still early, and the device's design could change. If these rumors pan out, though, the 20th-anniversary iPhone could be something out of a dream.

Last time I checked the iPhone of my dreams was not an even more fragile peace of glass with the dubious gimmick of having a screen wrap around all edges.

 

[tyranne201]

I'll wait for the one after that then.

 

[UltimaKilo]

It's a phone. Not much more you can do with it for the time being. "Of your dreams" is a bit hyperbolic with a mature product line unless the phone is going to transform into a teleporter.

 

[GianL]

My dreams are very different, I'm sorry...

 

[dmk1974]

Why would I want a display on the narrow edges where I hold it? They planning to run a sports or stock ticker around the perimeter? I'd be covering it with a case anyway.

 

[moofgoot]

They're bringing back the 5s?!

 

[danny1305]

They will never be able to build a phone “of dreams”, because most people are unhappy and will just complain about any little thing

certainly sounds amazing but alot can happen in a few years

 

[Seanm87]

Lets face it the iPhone of a lot of macrumors users dreams is a tiny screened brick phone with a weeks battery life.

 

[actcyclist]

iPhone of my dreams is the first iPhone SE with updated internals and a matte black exterior.

 

[Westside guy]

I'm betting they won't be selling it for the price of my dreams! 🤣

 

[WarmWinterHat]

That phone looks like trash, sorry. I DO NOT want to hold my phone on any screen area.

 

[jz0309]

didn't know I had that dream ... actually, haven't had a dream about any tech in decades 😉

I'm quite happy with my 17PM, so, as usual, I'll wait what is actually on the shelf at the Apple Store and then make decisions ...

Everyone iPhone’s dream is relative. I am sure this all glass iPhone is someone’s dream, but certainly not mine or others. My iPhone dream is all glass Trifold iphone like Samsung trifold with telephoto camera and all technology features that currently Samsung trifold has.

is the title ai slop???

That picture sure is..

is the title ai slop???

Probably, since it was authored by a bot as per the header.

 

[CmdrPuffin]

Displays on the edge of a curved screen are a gimmick, make it harder to design a protective case, and add nothing to the user experience. Even Samsung is moving away from that idea.

 

[SmugMaverick]

Enough with the "bezel less display" bullish*t.

We're just heading back into a slightly curved display era again like iPhone 6-11, the unibody design was just a stop gap because of failing sales in china and Jeff Williams tightness of releasing the same iPhone for 6 years straight.

It may well have under display Face ID and camera but that's probably it, a slim "air" like body and a return to titanium is another possibility but some stupid 4 edged curved display is doubtful.

 

[arc of the universe]

i couldn't wait to see the comments after i read the headline.
and you all didn't disappoint me.

but the article's author and editor did summarize the mobile fon of my dreams. instant day one buy for me, if it has no USB-C port.

 

[FredTX92]

And this iPhone will still have the Bluetooth stuttering issue that is being ignored since 2023.

 

[p96]

It will have > 2 days of battery life, a built-in infrared thermal imaging camera, a fingerprint reader, and a thick bezel that plays nice with a rugged, chonky case?

 

[Lioness~]

They're bringing back the 5s?!

An iPhone with same size, with new modern internals.

Call it iPhone Jobs,

I'll buy it 🔥
