Read moreRead less Apple launched its first ever iPhone in 2007. Then in 2017, it launched its 10th anniversary iPhone - the iPhone X. The iPhone X brought major design changes to the iPhone lineup including the removal of Home Button and Touch ID, introduction of Face ID, edge-to-edge OLED display, the notch, gesture-based navigation, and wireless charging to name a few. Now, with the iPhone turning 20 in 2027, Apple is standing at another such junction, one that is expected to bring another set of major changes to the iPhone lineup.
Here’s what we know about the 20th anniversary edition iPhone so far
Name
Apple launched the iPhone 16 series in 2024, the iPhone 17 series in 2025 and it’s set to launch the iPhone 18 series later this year. The next logical thing for Apple would be to launch the iPhone 19 series in 2027. But the year 2027 will coincide with the iPhone’s 20th anniversary, which means Apple could skip the iPhone 19 series nomenclature to go for the iPhone 20 series or the iPhone XX naming instead. If so, this wouldn’t be the first time the company would have made such a move. In 2017, Apple launched the iPhone X along with the iPhone 8 series, skipping the iPhone 9 series naming altogether. It is expected to follow this trend next year with the launch of its 20th anniversary iPhone models.Design
The iPhone 20 is expected to bring major design changes to the iPhone lineup. Reports for a long time have suggested that Apple will launch a button-less iPhone. The year 2027 might be the year we get to see that. Reports suggest that Apple is working on solid state buttons with haptic feedback that would replace the existing mechanical buttons. These buttons would use the difference between light press and a firm press to trigger different actions and potentially replace the existing volume buttons, Action button and even the Camera Control button. Beyond this, iPhone 20 is also expected to look like a slab of glass with no cut-outs.Display
Display is another area with the iPhone 20 is likely to bring major changes to. As per reports, Apple is working on a display design that will curve down all the four edges of the iPhone for a borderless experience with no bezels or super slim bezels. This panel is expected to be called ‘Liquid Glass Display’ aligning with the company’s software strategy. Apple is expected to use a Samsung OLED display with Colour Filter on Encapsulation technology to remove the polarising film from an OLED panel and place the colour filter directly on the screen’s encapsulation layer for a slimmer display that has reduced glare and high brightness.Processor
The upcoming iPhone 18 series is expected to come with a 2nm A20 chip. This means the iPhone 20 will get a more efficient and more powerful second gen 2nm A21 chip.RAM
Apple is expected to pair its A21 chip with an upgraded RAM. The company is said to be considering Mobile High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) to boost signal transmission speeds. It would also provide high data throughput while minimising power consumption, thereby increasing overall efficiency.Battery
Battery is another feature that is likely to receive a major upgrade in Apple’s 20th anniversary edition iPhone. The company is reportedly planning to use pure silicon anode batteries that will increase battery life without increasing the battery size. For reference, these batteries are already being used in flagship phones like the OnePlus 15 and the OPPO Find X9 Pro.Launch date and price
Apple is expected to launch its 20th anniversary edition iPhone in the fall of 2027. The expected pricing, however, remains unknown for now.
