Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro models just one day ago, but reporter Mark Gurman says the company plans a redesigned ‘iPhone 20’ to mark the iPhone’s 20th anniversary next year, promising the biggest design changes to the iPhone Pro line since the iPhone X.
iPhone 20 design claims
According to the report, Apple is planning a 20th‑anniversary iPhone with “curved glass around all corners and edges” and thinner bezels around the screen. The story says, “It will be the biggest overhaul to what is now the iPhone Pro line since the iPhone X,” though no further technical details were provided. The device appears to remain in development, but it is unclear whether Apple can fully deliver the proposed changes or if plans may be scaled back.
Why the change would matter
The iPhone was unveiled by Steve Jobs in 2007 and turns 20 next year, which is the milestone Apple reportedly plans to mark with this special model. The iPhone X, released in 2017, was the last major visual shift for the Pro line: it introduced Face ID and removed the Touch ID button, allowing the screen to extend closer to the device edges. The 20th‑anniversary model is described as taking that evolution further by wrapping the display around corners and edges for a more all‑glass appearance.
Context: iPhone 18 Pro upgrades
The iPhone 18 Pro itself introduces several hardware changes: an A20 Pro chip with up to a 20% faster CPU and up to a 40% faster GPU compared to the A19 Pro chip; a smaller Dynamic Island; a variable aperture for the main 48‑megapixel Fusion camera; longer battery life; and a larger vapor chamber cooling system aimed at improved heat dissipation. For buyers who find those upgrades insufficient, waiting for the redesigned ‘iPhone 20’ could be worthwhile—if the rumors prove accurate.
The report’s details are limited to the design descriptions above and the stated development status; no additional specifications, release timing beyond “next year,” or confirmations from Apple were provided.
