Apple is reportedly still planning a glass-centric redesign for its 20th anniversary iPhone next year, despite earlier reports suggesting the project had been cancelled. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, sources familiar with Apple's plans indicate the company is developing new iPhone Pro models featuring a design with significant glass components.
These devices, internally referred to as V73 and V74, would have glass on both the front and back, with a glass curvature towards the sides and a metal band in the middle. The concept draws comparisons to Apple's Magic Mouse but in a smartphone form factor. However, an even more extreme design was reportedly considered earlier in development but ultimately abandoned due to challenges in connecting the glass panels and difficulties in manufacturing at scale.
Nonetheless, Apple remains committed to delivering a significant visual change for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027, countering earlier claims of cancellation.
