Part of The 20th-anniversary iPhone could be a glass slab with a metal band

The curved glass is reportedly made on modified iPhone Air equipment

The leaker Fixed Focus Digital says the equipment built for the iPhone Air's glass has been altered to make the more rounded glass the 20th-anniversary phone needs. Reusing an existing line rather than building one is what the leaker credits for the lower cost.

The glass on Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone is made with the process Apple built for the iPhone Air, according to the leaker Fixed Focus Digital, MacRumors reported in August 2026.

The leaker said Apple is changing the equipment to make more rounded glass. Reusing it lowers cost, and the leaker said it also helps with heat and thinness.

Apple has not announced the phone.
