The 2027 iPhone launch is expected to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, and industry insiders say Apple is testing a new, larger screen that could mark a significant design milestone.

Supply‑chain sources from the Digital Chat Station (DCS) say Apple is trialing a 7‑inch display, a modest increase over the current 6.9‑inch diagonal of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The prototype measures about 6.96 inches in physical size and could be marketed as a 7‑inch panel.

Speculators suggest the bezel‑less, single‑slab glass concept may appear on next year’s Pro models, possibly the iPhone 19 Pro Max, or could be part of a special anniversary edition such as an iPhone 20. The naming strategy remains unclear.

Apple routinely tests prototypes that never reach the market, so the existence of the display does not guarantee it will appear on a device. Still, the move toward a larger, borderless screen aligns with the company’s long‑term vision.

The leaker, known for a decent track record, has previously provided accurate leaks about new hardware. If the new panel is incorporated, it could redefine the iPhone’s ergonomics, offering more screen real estate without increasing overall device size. Consumers can expect the announcement to come during Apple’s usual September event.
