- **Will the screen be bigger?** Two sizes are reported for the 20th anniversary phone, about 6.3 inches and about 6.9 inches, and Digital Chat Station says Apple has tested a 6.96 inch panel with the same shape as the iPhone 17 Pro Max. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/iphone-20/roadmap#can-will-the-screen-be-bigger))

- **What will it be made of?** Reports describe a quad-curved glass body with the metal frame hidden behind the curve of the display glass, which would be the first real change to the iPhone silhouette in years.
