Apple is reportedly planning a major design overhaul for its 20th-anniversary iPhone model, which is expected to be released in 2027. The device is rumored to feature a radical new design characterized by a seamless, all-glass body and a curved display that wraps around all four edges. This departure from the flat-edged design of recent models is seen by some as Apple’s next big innovation to set its smartphones apart in a highly competitive market.
Speculation suggests that this new “curved glass” aesthetic will be accompanied by a new user interface, internally referred to as “Liquid Glass,” to take full advantage of the unique display. While this design would represent a significant aesthetic shift for the iPhone, analysts have pointed to potential challenges, including manufacturing complexity and concerns about the durability of such a device. This strategic move could be an attempt by Apple to recapture the design leadership that has long defined its products.
