iPhone 20 Pro and Pro Max Might Get Bigger Screens in 2027

Apple may increase the display size of the iPhone Pro and Pro Max next year, marking the 20th anniversary of the iPhone's launch, according to a reputed source. Digital Chat Station, an anonymous but trusted tech leak provider, disclosed on the Chinese social media platform Weibo that the iPhone 20 Pro could have a 6.4-inch display, while the iPhone 20 Pro Max could be equipped with a 7-inch screen.

Although the source's authenticity is unconfirmed, the publication is known for reliable information on upcoming devices. The devices are expected to be released in September 2027, three months after the company commemorates the iPhone's 20th birthday on June 29, 2007. The latest iPhone Pro and Pro Max models are slightly smaller, with screen sizes of 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively.

Apple has not officially announced the launch dates. The upcoming iPhone Pro and Pro Max might also feature a quad-curved design without any bezel, which is the border surrounding the screen, a design choice that would make the entire phone appear as a single piece of glass. Despite the larger screens, the aspect ratio would remain the same.

The last screen size increase occurred two years ago, with the iPhone 16 Pro's screen growing from 6.1 to 6.3 inches, and the Pro Max from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. Increasing screen size is logical given the growing consumption of content on iPhones. Austin Evans, a tech reviewer with over 6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, is excited about the potential of an iPhone with virtually no bezels, as it could set a new standard for iPhones in the next decade.

Other possible upgrades for the iPhone 20 lineup include the elimination of physical buttons and the integration of solid-state buttons into the frame. The Face ID sensor could also be located under the main screen, and the Dynamic Island might shrink, with the front camera reduced to a pinhole size. The iPhone 20 could also feature a brighter, thinner OLED panel for reduced glare, increased brightness, and power efficiency, as well as a second-generation 2nm chip for better performance, and a pure-silicon anode battery.
