The rumored all-screen iPhone could soon be a reality, but not that soon.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, known for breaking tech product news, wrote in his newsletter that Apple is planning a "mostly glass, curved iPhone" as part of a larger "product blitz" in 2027.

The idea of a totally glass phone does sound cool and futuristic. And it could be a welcome change of pace to have an iPhone that doesn't look suspiciously like the previous model. The Verge pointed out that over the years, Apple has pursued patents in which glass forms a continuous loop around the phone. That would effectively remove the titanium edges that break up the already near-continuous glass structure of iPhones.

Recently, rumors of an all-screen iPhone have ramped up. A similar report surfaced this month from The Information, stating that the iPhone 20 would have an edge-to-edge display, with no dynamic island, notch, or cutout for a front-facing camera. This shift would mark a major change for Apple's flagship product, just as it hit its 20th anniversary.

An all-screen display could be just one of many upcoming changes to the iPhone. We've also seen rumors of foldable and super-thin iPhones. All these reports suggest your iPhone could look totally different in the years to come.
