Next year the original iPhone turns 20 – or rather, it’s the 20th anniversary of its launch, as we doubt any units are still around. Apple has long been rumored to be planning something special to mark the occasion, and a few days ago a report talked about a 20th anniversary iPhone coming with a quad-curved screen.
As it turns out, that won’t be a special anniversary iPhone model – instead, that rumor was actually talking about a redesign coming to the Pro series. So the iPhone Pro and Pro Max released in 2027 will have that quad-curved screen design, which Chinese smartphone makers had not long ago but then decided to drop in favor of iPhone-like flat sides. How ironic.
Apple is also working on making the 2027 iPhone Pros sport under-display cameras, but it’s unclear if that will actually go anywhere. We assume there’s a better chance for the Face ID sensors to be under-display, but even that has been rumored for a very long time now and Apple doesn’t seem to be making any significant progress in developing such tech.
