"Sources believe that the company is targeting a radical redesign for what will likely be called the iPhone 20, skipping "iPhone 19" the same way it jumped directly to the iPhone X back in 2017. More than just a naming trick, it came with the full-screen OLED design, Face ID, and the removal of the home button, a move that felt genuinely shocking at the time."
"What Apple is reportedly planning, an all-glass unibody with no physical buttons and no visible cutouts anywhere on the device, is exactly the kind of leap that generates excitement. Whether it generates anything more than that is a genuinely open question."
"This is not a Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha situation, where the display wraps entirely around the phone like a very expensive, very fragile bracelet. That concept, for all its visual drama, would introduce a cascade of problems: iOS and most apps are built on the assumption that the back of a phone is inert."
Apple is reportedly planning a major redesign for the iPhone 20 in 2027, coinciding with the device's 20th anniversary. The company will skip the iPhone 19 naming, similar to jumping to iPhone X in 2017. The anticipated redesign features an all-glass unibody with no physical buttons and no visible cutouts anywhere on the device. This represents a significant departure from incremental updates, with search interest in "iPhone 20 design" increasing over 3,100% year-over-year. The all-glass design differs from concepts like the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha, which wrapped displays around the entire phone. Instead, it resembles the Vivo APEX approach, maintaining a traditional form factor while eliminating physical buttons and visible openings.
