Igeekphone reported on June 23rd that tech blogger Mark Gurman revealed that in 2027, which marks the 20th anniversary of the iPhone’s launch, Apple will skip iPhone 19 and directly introduce iPhone 20 Pro and iPhone 20 Pro Max. At the same time, it will also release the second generation of foldable screen devices and a new version of AirPods with built-in cameras.
The news quickly topped the hot-searching list. For Apple’s decision to skip iPhone 19, the public was not surprised. In fact, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, Apple skipped iPhone 9 and directly launched the landmark iPhone X, achieving a complete innovation in product form with its full-screen and Face ID technology.
Therefore, it is widely expected by the outside world that at this special 20th anniversary point, Apple is likely to repeat this strategy and directly launch the iPhone 20 series. It is reported that the internal codes for the iPhone 20 series are V73 and V74, and their sizes are similar to those of the iPhone 18 Pro series. It is expected to be equipped with two screens of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.
According to the information flowing out from the supply chain, the most significant change in this series is the abandonment of the long-used pure straight-screen design and the adoption of a four-microcurved screen design. At the same time, it is equipped with the complete under-screen Face ID technology. The front display achieves an almost bezel-less effect, completely eliminating the appearance of the “hollowed-out” and “pocket-shaped” designs.
In terms of hardware, the screens of the iPhone 20 series are exclusively supplied by Samsung Display. It will be the first to be equipped with the brand-new A21 series chip and pre-installed with the iOS 28 operating system. Overall, whether in terms of appearance, interaction methods or core hardware, the iPhone 20 series will represent a revolutionary upgrade and is expected to become the landmark starting point for Apple in the next decade.
