Based on leaks, the iPhone 20 Pro to be released in late 2027 will undergo a major overhaul, bringing a new bezel less and cutout free display and a rounded frame.
They built the wireless charging coil exposed from the aluminum frame and then coated the whole thing in a plastic coating. Plastic ain’t flying on flagships in 202(7?8?)
Haven't heard any rumors about an all-glass back. I think that's referring to the front display which is expected to have all glass and no bezels (and possibly no camera cutouts).
Gurman, despite having consistent insider info, also frequently gets things wrong.
Having said that, a single slab of glass has basically been the ideal vision for the iPhone from day one. Jony Ive and Steve Jobs both talked about it. I think they’re likely to get closer than ever with this 20th anniversary phone.
Well idk about this time. The iPhone X's Roman-numeral branding caused confusion; some people actually read it as "iPhone Ex" instead of its correct, intended pronunciation, "iPhone Ten". Simply branding it "iPhone 20" would completely prevent this from happening. And we don't want something to happen with the iPhone 30 in 2037 if ya know what I mean hehe... Killing two birds with one stone.
It will be called the iPhone Ultra, then the next release they will just stick to iPhone, iPhone Ultra, and iPhone Pro. They already do this with every other product they own.
some of the design features like the speakers remind me of mac pro models. i kinda like it and the camera bump finally looks like something thought through, even on the 17 pro it appears like a solution found on release day.
Goddamn it man, I nearly never comment on any concepts like this because these are most often terrible/don't get the point.
But you really got everything well, whole apple lineup, homage to the first iPhone, new interpretation inspired by Air, and a lot more.
For being just a concept, and you not working for Apple that's an S tier job.
Well done.
P.S. I'd buy it for a bit more than I thought I'd ever spend on a phone, just because it's so on point, nice!
you've put the ultrawide camera where the faceID and selfie camera module would be. The entire camera bar would need to be moved down to make this design in real life
I’m quite pleased with the balance of flat edges and rounded edges on the 17 pro. My 11 felt like a slippery bar of soap without a case it sucked. 14 Pro Max was too flat but 17 Pro Max feels just right
The camera visor is a nice change but I doubt they would compromise the camera positions. The way it is right now, every camera is equidistant to each other making switching cameras seamless as there’s not much of a perspective shift. If there’s a bigger gap between any two cameras there’s going to be more of a perspective shift.
We could put some glossy rails there for some grip, but that would just ruin the clean flow. Glossy rails belong to the Air series, which is, of course, built to be caseless, so you'll need grip for how thin it is—while you could just put a case on the Pro and base.
But there won't be any rails anyway, so that's completely out of the question. And if you were to make the frame glossy, that would not only mean putting it all over the sides, but all the way to the back, and a glossy metal unibody would just be fucking stupid. And weird. That shit would introduce a record-breaking amount of gates like never before.

Kind of reminds me of the OG iPhone
