Rumors point to a major redesign for the commemorative ‘iPhone 20’, which is not expected until September 2027. Leaks have been building for months, and, according to Mark Gurman, Apple is already deep into development. Across multiple reports the emerging picture is of an iPhone that looks like a single, uninterrupted slab of glass.
iPhone 20: What the leaks and reporting show
In 2017, Apple celebrated the iPhone’s 10th birthday with the iPhone X, the biggest redesign in the product’s history. The current wave of reports suggests the company is preparing another landmark rethink for its 20th anniversary model.
That said, the timeline remains tentative: the commemorative ‘iPhone 20’ is still months away from a rumored fall 2027 launch, and Apple’s plans shift constantly behind closed doors. Ambitious features frequently slip by a year or two; under-display Face ID in particular has been ‘two years away’ for about five years now.
Taken together, the leaks describe the most dramatic iPhone rethink since 2017. If even half of the reported features make it into the shipping device, the ‘iPhone 20’ should be worth holding out for. For everything we know so far, check out our dedicated guide.
