iPhone 20 design hides its bezel edges

According to the rumors, Apple is planning something big for its 20th anniversary iPhone, including changing up the displays to something a bit unusual for the Cupertino company. This includes a potential bezel-less look, which may be achieved through a clever glass trick. The iPhone 20 is expected to feature a flat screen with a glass cover, which through optical refraction, will result in a borderless effect.

The latest leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed additional details about the rumored iPhone 20 bezel-less displays. The tipster seems to have confirmed what we have been hearing all this while, and that is the iPhone 20 could feature bezel-less displays.

Now, the screen itself will be flat, according to the tipster. However, it will come with a glass cover, which will create a borderless effect. This is something we haven’t seen before from Apple, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Worth noting is that we have heard rumors Apple was also attempting curved edges for the display. So we’re not sure if Digital Chat Station’s claim of a glass cover is an indication of that, or something else entirely.

The tipster also hinted that the displays for the models will get bigger. This is something we heard about recently as well. The latest post suggests the displays of the iPhone 20 could go up by around 0.1-inches. This doesn’t sound like much, but if Apple really ditches the bezels, this could look amazing.

Some have already speculated Apple was already hinting at its plans. iOS 26 was released last year with its new Liquid Glass design language. Some think this is Apple bringing design elements from visionOS over to iOS, but with all the talk about glass and metal, maybe it was also Apple hinting at what’s to come.

In the past, Apple has used its operating system updates to hint at upcoming hardware changes. For example, the iPhone has historically had its design influenced by the latest iOS updates. This could be the case with the iPhone 20 and its potential bezel-less design.

Apple’s 20th anniversary iPhone is expected to launch in 2027. They are not sure if Apple is still going with a staggered launch, meaning the Pro and Pro Max models will launch in 2027, while the base models will launch in the early part of 2028. We’ll have to wait and see.

There were initially some rumors that claimed Apple cancelled plans for its all-glass iPhone. The report alleged that Apple ran into manufacturing issues due to poor yields, thus forcing them to abandon their plans. However, Mark Gurman at the outlet refuted those claims, saying that the glass-centric iPhone is still on track for next year.

The iPhone 20 is expected to be a major release for Apple, and the company will likely want to make a big splash with its launch. With the potential for a bezel-less design and larger displays, the iPhone 20 will significantly impact the smartphone market.

Journalists on the scene have reported that the iPhone 20 could have a significant effect on the market.

Apple.

The iPhone 20 will launch soon.
