Apple is also considering an all-glass look for the front display.<\/p>\n
Big anniversary, big screens? Apple might bump up the display size of the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max next year as the company celebrates the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, according to an insider.<\/p>\n
Digital Chat Station, an anonymous but well-regarded source of tech leaks, shared on Chinese social media platform Weibo that the iPhone 20 Pro could feature a 6.4-inch display, while the iPhone 20 Pro Max could come with a 7-inch screen. Although the account holder\u2019s identity has never been publicly confirmed, Digital Chat Station has built a reputation for providing reliable information about upcoming devices.<\/p>\n
Apple is expected to release those devices in September 2027, three months after the company celebrates the 20th anniversary of the iPhone\u2019s launch on June 29, 2007. (For a blast from the past, check out CNET\u2019s review of that legendary device.) Apple has not announced any official launch dates.<\/p>\n
A representative for Apple didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
The latest versions of the iPhone Pro and Pro Max are a tad smaller \u2014 6.3 inches for the iPhone Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone Pro Max.<\/p>\n
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, expected to launch next month, will also have 6.3- and 6.9-inch screen sizes. According to our roundup of reports and rumors about Apple\u2019s upcoming products, the company\u2019s next lineup could also include its first foldable iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 12, and the Apple Watch Ultra 4<\/p>\n
In addition to the larger screen sizes for the iPhone 20 Pro and Pro Max, the Digital Chat Station report also said the devices might have a quad-curved design and no bezel showing. If true, when you look at the front of those phones, you\u2019ll only see glass that wraps around all four edges. You won\u2019t see a bezel, the border that surrounds the screen, which is typically found on most smartphones.<\/p>\n
Digital Chat Station said that, even with the bigger screens, the phones will maintain the same aspect ratio.<\/p>\n
The last time Apple increased screen size was two years ago. The iPhone 16 Pro screen size increased to 6.3 inches (up from 6.1), and the Pro Max to 6.9 inches (up from 6.7).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited to see what they put together for the 20th anniversary,\u201d Evans said. \u201cIf they\u2019re able to ship an iPhone with effectively zero bezels at all, it could really set the tone for what an iPhone can be for the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the rumor mill, there could be several other upgrades and changes for the iPhone 20 lineup.<\/p>\n
There might not be physical buttons for powering on, adjusting volume or controlling the camera. Instead, solid-state buttons might be integrated into the frame itself, enabling consumers to initiate actions by pressing lightly or firmly.<\/p>\n
There might be a Face ID sensor under the main screen, according to some reports. The Dynamic Island might shrink, with the front camera reduced to pinhole size, although these changes might arrive sooner with the iPhone 18.<\/p>\n
The iPhone 20 might also have a brighter, thinner OLED panel to reduce glare, increase brightness and use less power.<\/p>\n
