Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone, slated for a 2026 release, is rumored to feature a radical design overhaul, potentially including an all-glass body and a truly bezel-less display. This upcoming model, speculated to be named the iPhone 20 Pro series, aims to achieve a "full screen" experience by concealing components like the Face ID sensors and front camera beneath the display.
The latest whispers from Apple's supply chain suggest that preparations are underway for a device that could resemble "a single piece of glass." This design philosophy is further supported by Apple's "liquid glass" aesthetic introduced in iOS 26 and refined in iOS 27, hinting at a cohesive hardware and software design direction.
While the prospect of an "iPhone Air"-like aesthetic with an all-glass back and minimal bezels is exciting, it's important to note that these are still rumors. Previous leaks have hinted at similar design directions, but Apple has remained tight-lipped. With over a year until its potential launch, the final design of the 20th-anniversary iPhone remains subject to change.
