iPhone 20 Expected Design 2027

Apple’s iPhone 20 is slated for a fall 2027 launch, marking the device’s 20th anniversary with the most significant redesign since the iPhone X. The model is expected to arrive in two sizes—roughly 6.3 and 6.9 inches, with the larger version possibly marketed as a 7‑inch device—and to debut alongside a second‑generation foldable iPhone.

The redesign centers on an all‑glass build with a micro‑curved OLED panel that wraps around all four edges, yielding a bezel of just 1.1mm according to an unverified mock‑up. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman described a glass‑back, curved‑front device that realizes former design chief Jony Ive’s vision of a single slab of glass, while leaker Ice Universe suggested the effect relies on optical refraction and light‑guiding structures rather than deep curvature, possibly branded a “Liquid Glass Display.”

Uncertainties remain for the front panel, where Apple aims to hide Face ID and the selfie camera under the display; analyst Ross Young notes the technology may not be ready for 2027, so a small hole‑punch or reduced Dynamic Island could persist. The frame will be a thin polished band, likely aluminum, and solid‑state haptic buttons (Project Bongo) are expected to replace mechanical controls, functioning even when the device is off or the battery is depleted.
