Apple reportedly plans a glass-centric design overhaul for the upcoming iPhone 20

Apple is reportedly developing a significant design overhaul for the iPhone 20, scheduled for the device's 20th anniversary. According to reports, the company intends to move away from traditional aluminum frames in favor of a glass-centric aesthetic. The new design will feature 3D glass on both the front and back, which will curve around the sides of the device, connected by a central metal band. Internally, the project is reportedly being developed under the codenames V73 and V74. The device is expected to be powered by an A21 Bionic chip, manufactured using TSMC's advanced process, and will likely include 16GB of RAM. Additionally, Apple is testing pure silicon battery technology to improve capacity and all-day battery life. The display is rumored to be a 6.7-inch, 120Hz micro-cord curved screen with a zero-bezel design, potentially incorporating in-display Face ID and an under-display selfie camera. While early reports suggested potential issues with screen brightness or distortion at the edges, these are expected to be addressed in subsequent iterations.

While early reports suggested potential issues with screen brightness or distortion at the edges, these are expected to be addressed in subsequent iterations.

The iPhone 20 is expected to feature a 3D glass design that curves around all four sides of the device. Apple is reportedly developing the new iPhone model under the internal codenames V73 and V74.

The device will likely be powered by an A21 Bionic chip built on TSMC's advanced manufacturing process. Apple is testing pure silicon battery technology to enhance overall battery capacity and daily performance.

The proposed design aims to eliminate the notch and hole-punch by utilizing an under-display camera and Face ID. The display is rumored to be a 6.7-inch, 120Hz micro-cord curved panel with a zero-bezel aesthetic.
