iPhone 20 rumors: Why iPhone 19 might be skipped entirely
The iPhone 18 Pro was announced on Sept. 9, but rumors are already swirling about the iPhone 20 that's reportedly coming in 2027.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max were unveiled by Apple at its Sept. 9 'Surprise and Shine' event, alongside the foldable iPhone Duo. However, there are already credible reports and leaks suggesting a potential 20th anniversary iPhone 20 arriving in fall 2027, with Apple skipping the iPhone 19 entirely. This isn't the first time Apple has gotten creative with numbering; they commemorated the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone in 2025.
The iPhone 20 is rumored to have a major redesign, featuring curved glass elements and potentially a waterfall display. If it does indeed have a curved display, it would likely be a visual quad-curved design rather than a true waterfall display due to manufacturing challenges. The iPhone 20 is expected to be announced in early September 2027, with an official launch a week or two later.
Two models are anticipated, with sizes of around 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches. Sources suggest the iPhone 20 might carry over features from the iPhone 18 Pro, such as reduced Dynamic Island size, and the iPhone Duo's under-display FaceTime camera. There are also rumors of Apple working on solid-state buttons for the iPhone 20, potentially featuring haptic feedback for power, volume control, and camera control.
