Apple aims to further enhance the iPhone X design for the 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027. The envisioned design includes a bezel-free, curved display wrapping around the device's edges. Achieving this all-glass look requires integrating Face ID and the front camera under the display, though this aspect remains uncertain. Apple plans to use brighter, thinner OLED panels, potentially adopting Samsung's COE technology for improved brightness and reduced power consumption. Camera improvements may include a custom HDR sensor for superior dynamic range, rivaling high-end cinematic cameras. Apple is developing its own modem chips, aiming to surpass Qualcomm in performance and efficiency by 2027. The anniversary iPhone is expected to feature a second-generation 2-nanometer chip for smaller, faster performance. Apple will likely skip the iPhone 19 name, transitioning directly to the iPhone 20 or a similar designation. A foldable iPhone, potentially delayed, might coincide with the 20th anniversary launch. While the actual anniversary is in June 2027, the new iPhone is expected to be released in the typical September timeframe.
