Even before the expected launch of the iPhone 18 series, attention is already shifting to Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone, which is rumored to arrive with one of the biggest design changes in the company's history.
According to recent leaks, Apple is testing a prototype with a 6.96-inch display, which could be marketed as a 7-inch screen. If the reports prove accurate, it would be the largest display ever offered on an iPhone.
Apple has not officially confirmed these details. The information is based on leaks and industry reports.
Apple Testing a Nearly 7-Inch Display
According to well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple is evaluating a prototype featuring an approximately 6.96-inch display.
Although the screen is slightly larger than the current iPhone 17 Pro Max, the increase in size is expected to be modest in day-to-day use.
Expected Display Features
Nearly 7-inch OLED display
Around 6.96-inch screen size
Similar aspect ratio to the iPhone 17 Pro Max
Slimmer bezels
Larger immersive viewing experience
It remains unclear whether this display will be used in the final commercial version.
Biggest iPhone Design Overhaul Could Be on the Way
One of the biggest highlights of the leak is Apple's reported redesign.
Industry reports suggest the anniversary iPhone could feature a futuristic design that looks almost like a single piece of glass.
Expected Design Changes
Nearly borderless display
Curved glass on all four sides
Ultra-thin bezels
Premium glass body
More immersive full-screen experience
If introduced, it could become Apple's most dramatic iPhone redesign since the launch of the iPhone X.
Will Apple Call It the iPhone 20?
The naming strategy is also generating excitement.
Some reports suggest Apple could introduce a special anniversary edition, similar to how it launched the iPhone X for the iPhone's tenth anniversary.
Others believe the company may simply brand the device as the iPhone 20, marking two decades of the iconic smartphone lineup.
Apple has not confirmed the official name.
How Much Bigger Is the New Display?
Although the rumored 7-inch display sounds like a major upgrade, the actual size increase may be relatively small.
Display Comparison
Model Expected Display Size
iPhone 17 Pro Max 6.9 inches
Rumored iPhone 20 Approximately 6.96 inches (marketed as 7 inches)
The main visual improvement may come from slimmer bezels and a redesigned chassis rather than a dramatic increase in screen size.
What We Know So Far
Based on current leaks, the anniversary iPhone may include:
Nearly 7-inch display
Curved glass design
Borderless screen
Ultra-premium construction
Next-generation Apple design language
Special anniversary branding (possible)
Many hardware details, including the processor, cameras, battery and AI capabilities, remain unknown.
Why the Anniversary iPhone Is Generating Buzz
Apple's milestone iPhone launches have historically introduced major design changes.
The iPhone X, launched for the iPhone's 10th anniversary, brought Face ID, edge-to-edge display and the removal of the Home button.
Industry observers expect the 20th-anniversary iPhone to deliver another significant leap in design and user experience.
Key Highlights
Apple is reportedly testing a 6.96-inch (nearly 7-inch) display.
The device could become the largest iPhone ever.
A borderless curved-glass design is reportedly under development.
The phone may resemble a single sheet of glass.
Apple could introduce it as a special anniversary model or iPhone 20.
No official confirmation has been provided by Apple.
