The 20th anniversary iPhone model could have an 'all-screen' design

We haven't even seen the iPhone 17 yet, and we're already getting rumors about the iPhone 20.

It's hard to believe, but it's true. The first real rumor about what to expect from the 20th anniversary iPhone, set to launch in 2027, comes from The Information (courtesy of BGR). According to The Information's report, the first big new feature of the 2027 iPhone will be an edge-to-edge display. In other words, it would be all screen from one end of the device to the other, with no notch or dynamic island cutout for the front-facing camera.

That's not to say there won't be a selfie cam, of course. It will just live under the display, which Apple has yet to do in any iPhone so far. Other phones have had some success putting technology underneath the display, like the fingerprint scanner in Google Pixel phones.

This information came alongside a larger report that Apple will be shifting its iPhone release schedule. Rather than dropping every new iPhone model in September, as the company has for many years now, Apple will instead drop the most powerful Pro versions of each iPhone in the fall, while holding the cheaper base models for the following spring. There have already been signs that Apple wants to do annual budget phone releases, so doing a two-pronged release schedule might make some sense.

All of that is on top of more reports about Apple exploring the foldable space, as well as trying to create a new ultra-thin iPhone. It's certainly not a boring time in iPhone-land right now.
