Apple 20th Anniversary iPhone Could Feature True Full-Screen, Bezel-Less Design

Apple is reportedly working on a special iPhone to mark 20 years of the lineup. The device, expected in 2027, could bring one of the biggest design changes yet for the iPhone.

The main goal is simple: a true full-screen display. According to tipster @Tech Qiyan, Apple is aiming for a near bezel-less design, where the borders around the screen are almost invisible. This would create a cleaner and more immersive look compared to current models. Instead of using curved “waterfall” edges like some Android phones, Apple is exploring different methods. The brand may also use advanced light control and optical techniques to reduce how visible the frame is. This approach would keep the screen flat while still making the edges less noticeable.

Another big change could come to the front camera. To achieve a full-screen design, Apple may move the camera under the display. This would remove the need for cutouts or features like the Dynamic Island, giving users an uninterrupted screen.

This model is expected to be more than just a regular upgrade. It could represent a shift in how Apple designs its phones. By removing visible borders and hiding the camera, the company is aiming for a cleaner and more modern look. For now, the device is still in development, and details may change. But if these plans move forward, the 2027 iPhone could set a new standard for smartphone design.

Interestingly, Apple's new take on iPhones begins this year with the launch of the foldable iPhone. The new device, now rumored to launch as iPhone Ultra, will mark the brand's entrance in the foldable segment. One year later, the brand will be bringing a new full-screen iPhone in the form of the 20th anniversary iPhone. Could it also be part of the new Ultra series? Only time will tell, but there are also rumors pointing to it launching as iPhone 20.
