All-screen iPhone 20, iPhone 19 Pro, iPhone 19 Pro Max with curved displays might be the reason to skip iPhone 18 Pro

Apple is working on entering the next phase of its iPhone design evolution. According to a prominent tipster, Cupertino is now actively evaluating prototypes for its 2027 iPhone lineup featuring a "quad-curved" display. In other words, a glass that curves uniformly over all four edges.

While current testing on prototypes still shows a hole-punch cutout for the front camera, the industry is buzzing about what this signifies for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone. 

It's worth noting that the latest leak mentions the "iPhone 19 Pro" entering a production testing phase, which suggests we might get more than one iPhone with a quad-curved glass on the front. However, it is entirely possible the new design is exclusive to the anniversary edition iPhone.

Potential Apple iPhone 2027-2028 lineup:

• iPhone 19 Pro (quad-curved panel)
• iPhone 19 Pro Max (quad-curved panel)
• iPhone 20/XX (quad-curved panel, all-screen design)
• iPhone 19 (spring 2028 release)
• iPhone Air (spring 2028 release)

Apple is said to be collaborating with Samsung on "micro-curved" OLED panels using Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE) technology, while the goal remains a bezel-less, all-glass aesthetic for at least one 2027 iPhone model.

Whether this culminates in an "iPhone 20" or an "iPhone XX", it is still expected that Apple will push for fully under-display Face ID and camera sensors, aiming to finally deliver the seamless, truly all-screen device that has been a long-term goal for Cupertino.
