The iPhone Apple is reported to be planning for the phone's twentieth anniversary in 2027. Reporting describes a device built around glass curved on all four sides, a metal band between the front and back panels, thinner bezels and no cutout in the display. Bloomberg calls it the biggest change to the Pro design since the iPhone X.
One week of software news for the devices we cover: iOS 27.2 adds Pencil and Edge Light to the iPhone Duo, Even Realities G2 and Fitbit Air get feature updates, the Galaxy Watch 9 gets its October security patch, and Oura, Samsung and Google confirmed bugs on the Ring 4, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Pixel Watch.
If you pay for Apple TV, iOS 27.2 puts up to four live games on one iPhone screen. It works on a regular iPhone 18 Pro, not only the bigger iPhone Duo.
The original iPhone went on sale June 29, 2007, so the iPhone turns 20 on June 29, 2027. Reports tie the anniversary redesign to the fall 2027 iPhone, which is the phone this Guide tracks.

Display
Reported quad-curved OLED co-developed with Samsung, using a "four-micro-curve" profile described as less pronounced than existing edge-curved phones, a polarizer-less ("pol-less") stack and Color Filter on Encapsulation, which the report credits for a thinner, brighter and more efficient panel (Digital Chat Station, Apr.24, 2026). A separate report describes a roughly 6.96-inch panel tested at the iPhone 17 Pro Max aspect ratio, which would likely be marketed as 7 inches (Digital Chat Station, Jul. 21, 2026). Bloomberg reports thinner bezels and no cutout in the display (Mark Gurman, via MacRumors, Sep. 4, 2026)
