20th Anniversary Apple iPhone To Have Bezel-Less Display, Under-Display Cam, Solid-State Battery: Report

Apple is poised to make revolutionary changes in the design of the iPhone for its 20th anniversary in 2027. Multiple previous reports offer us a glimpse of the expected iPhone transformation. 

While Bloomberg tech expert Mark Gurman has asserted that the 2027 model will see a "major shake-up" and a "bold new Pro model", other reports hint that one of the phones in the lineup will feature a "truly edge-to-edge display".

In the latest on the 20th anniversary edition iPhone, numerous details have now emerged in a report by the Korean website ET News, which cites sources from the company's supply chain. 

According to the report, Apple is developing a display with curved edges on all four sides. Although this appears to be a standard quad-curved display panel, the panel and screen are intended to have much more noticeable curves. The display is intended to seem bezel-less when one views from the front, and bezels would only show past the sides' curvature.

This somewhat supports an earlier report by Gurman that says the bold new Pro model will make "extensive use of glass" and "appear like a single sheet of glass" without any visible bezels.

An under-display camera is also discussed in this report. It will be a new development for Apple, which has so far used a capsule-shaped chamber in its screen for Face ID.

Thanks to the concealed camera, edge-to-edge display will be possible and Face ID sensors should be able to see through the pixels.

The use of solid-state battery is also discussed in the report. Apple could use a solid electrolyte and pure silicon, which could boost energy density, enabling greater charge and a longer lifespan.
