20th-Anniversary iPhone Will Reportedly Feature an All-Screen Design

Apple's former design chief Jony Ive long dreamed of an iPhone with a truly all-screen design, and his wish might finally become reality in a few more years.

Beyond iPhone 13 Better Blue Face ID
The Information today cited multiple sources who said that at least one new iPhone model launching in 2027 will have a truly edge-to-edge display. The device's front camera and Face ID system would both be placed under the screen.

2027 will mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, so the all-screen design could arrive at a significant moment in the device's history.

As a stepping stone towards this all-screen design, the report said that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be equipped with under-screen Face ID, with only a small pinhole remaining for the front camera on those devices.

The all-screen design would likely be reserved for higher-end iPhones, so it is likely coming on the iPhone 19 Pro models in September 2027.

I wish they'd make a model where you can reach all the screen edge-to-edge with your thumb.

Edge to edge displays might be aesthetically intriguing, but they are functionally stupid. Any reasonable protective case needs at least a little bit of a raised lip around the edge that would block a bit of the display if it went all the way to the edge. I care much more about the functional value of protecting the screen against damage than the aesthetic but functionally pointless bragging rights of having the display go right to the very edge.

So, a screen on the back as well? Otherwise it wouldn't be "all screen".

Remove the selfie camera. Problem solved.

Of course that’ll never happen because so many people feel the world revolves around them. They have to constantly take pictures of themselves.
