Next year’s 20th anniversary iPhone will sport an all-glass design, the leaker known as “Fixed Focus Digital” claims in a new Weibo post.
This matches up with previous rumors. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said the 20th anniversary smartphone will have a mostly glass, curved iPhone — without any cutouts in the display. And it’s likely to adopt a Samsung-made OLED technology called COE (Color Filter on Encapsulation) to make the display brighter and thinner than previous panels.
Internally codenamed “Glasswing,” the “iPhone 20” is expected to ditch traditional metal frames in favor of smooth glass edges that flow seamlessly into a quad-curved display.
Apparently Apple hopes to replicate Jony Ive’s long-term vision of the iPhone as a “single slab of glass”. The display is expected to curve on all four sides with nearly invisible bezels.
Apple is reportedly planning to hide Face ID sensors and the selfie camera beneath the screen for a completely uninterrupted look. Some reports hint that Apple may drop physical volume and power buttons entirely, opting instead for solid-state buttons with haptic feedback.
Also, according to ETNews, the 2027 iPhone will likely have “Mobile High-Reverse Memory (HBM),” a memory that significantly increases the signal transmission speed (bandwidth) by stacking DRAM.
