Apple is expected to unveil a significant redesign in next year's iPhone Pro models, according to a new ETNews report. The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo are set to feature a distinctive "near-borderless" design and display. Sources suggest that Apple is planning to implement a four-sided bending display, which will create a full-screen appearance by curving the display around all four edges of the smartphone.
The report confirms that the 20th-anniversary models are still on track with this unique design, despite skepticism from Jefferies last month.
However, the report also reveals that Apple has decided against incorporating two advanced display technologies, Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE) and Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide Plus (LTPO+), into the new iPhone Pro models. The decision comes down to higher memory pricing and the company's pursuit of more efficient display options. While these technologies could have enabled a thinner panel and greater power efficiency, their absence seems unlikely to have a substantial impact on user experience.
The most notable aspect of the new design is the "near-borderless" display, which is expected to remain intact in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo.
