Apple’s 20th-anniversary iPhone is already generating plenty of speculation. Here’s what the latest iPhone 20 Pro leaks suggest about its design, display, cameras, chip and possible release date.
What is the iPhone 20 Pro?
The iPhone 20 Pro is the rumored 2027 Pro iPhone expected to mark the 20th anniversary of Apple’s original iPhone. Current leaks point to a major redesign, including thinner bezels, a curved display, possible changes to the Dynamic Island, new camera technology and next-generation Apple silicon. Apple has not officially confirmed these details.
The next big iPhone may not be about adding another camera or making the processor slightly faster.
Apple is reportedly working on a much more ambitious redesign for the iPhone 20 Pro, expected in 2027 — the year marking two decades since Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone.
The reports are still based on leaks and early development information, not specifications confirmed by Apple. But they point towards one clear direction: Apple wants the screen to dominate the phone even more than it does today.
When will the iPhone 20 Pro launch?
The iPhone 20 Pro is expected in September 2027, although Apple has not confirmed either the name or launch date.
The 2027 model is significant because it would coincide with the iPhone’s 20th anniversary. Apple used a similar milestone strategy in 2017, when it introduced the iPhone X instead of an iPhone 9.
That has led to speculation that Apple could again use a special name for the anniversary generation.
For now, iPhone 20 remains the most commonly reported name.
A nearly all-screen iPhone?

This is the biggest part of the iPhone 20 Pro rumours.
Apple is reportedly developing a display with very slim bezels and subtle curves on all four sides. The idea is to make the transition between the display and the edges of the phone far less noticeable.
Recent reports have also suggested that Apple is targeting significantly thinner bezels than current iPhone models.
If the technology makes it into the final product, the change could be immediately visible: more display, less frame.
That sounds simple. Getting there isn’t.
Manufacturing a display that curves around four edges while maintaining durability, touch accuracy and consistent image quality is considerably more complicated than simply making the bezels smaller.
Will the Dynamic Island disappear?
Possibly — but this remains one of the least certain parts of the leaks.
Apple has been working towards placing Face ID components and the front camera beneath the display. A successful implementation would allow the company to eliminate or dramatically reduce the Dynamic Island.
However, reports have differed on how far Apple has progressed.
Some recent leaks suggest Apple is still testing alternatives, including a small punch-hole camera.
So, despite the renders circulating online, it is too early to say that the iPhone 20 Pro will definitely have a completely uninterrupted display.
iPhone 20 Pro display size and resolution
One recent leak claims the iPhone 20 Pro could have a 6.41-inch display, while the iPhone 20 Pro Max could reach around 6.96 inches.
Reported resolutions include:
- iPhone 20 Pro: 2686 × 1236
- iPhone 20 Pro Max: 2912 × 1340
These figures should be treated as early leak information rather than confirmed specifications.
The more significant change could be the physical design of the display rather than its resolution.
Apple could replace physical buttons
Another reported change involves the buttons.
Apple is said to be testing solid-state haptic controls for functions including volume, the Action button and Camera Control.
Instead of a conventional button physically moving when pressed, haptic feedback would simulate the sensation of a click.
Apple has experimented with similar technology before, most notably with the Home button on older iPhones.
If the technology expands to more controls, it could help Apple make the phone more resistant to dust and moisture while allowing a cleaner exterior design.
iPhone 20 Pro camera: A major change could be underneath
The camera hardware may also be getting a significant upgrade.
Reports suggest Apple is developing its own stacked image sensor technology, potentially giving it greater control over camera performance.
One technology reportedly under development is LOFIC, which could improve dynamic range by allowing the sensor to capture a wider range of light.
In practical terms, that could mean better detail in bright skies, shadows and difficult lighting conditions.
But again, this is development-stage information. There is no guarantee that every technology being tested will reach the final iPhone 20 Pro.
What chip will the iPhone 20 Pro use?
If Apple’s current naming cycle continues, the 2027 iPhone could feature a next-generation A21-series chip, potentially manufactured using a more advanced 2nm process.
The benefits would likely go beyond raw performance.
A smaller manufacturing process can potentially improve power efficiency, giving Apple more room to increase performance without consuming proportionally more battery power.
The phone is also expected to make greater use of on-device AI processing as Apple’s hardware and software ecosystem continues moving in that direction.
Could the iPhone 20 Pro have better battery life?
Apple is reportedly exploring silicon-anode battery technology, which could offer higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion battery designs.
If successfully implemented, that could give Apple two options: increase battery life without making the phone thicker, or use the additional efficiency to accommodate more demanding hardware.
Which direction Apple ultimately chooses remains unknown.
iPhone 20 Pro: What we know so far
| Feature | Current reports |
|---|---|
| Expected launch | September 2027 |
| Display | Around 6.41 inches for Pro |
| Pro Max | Around 6.96 inches |
| Design | Four-edge curved display reportedly under development |
| Bezels | Expected to become significantly thinner |
| Front camera | Under-display technology being explored |
| Buttons | Solid-state haptic controls reportedly being tested |
| Processor | Expected next-generation Apple silicon |
| Camera | New sensor technology reportedly under development |
| Battery | Silicon-anode technology reportedly being explored |
The biggest question is whether Apple can actually pull it off
There is still a long road between an Apple prototype and an iPhone sitting on a store shelf.
The company could change the display design. The Dynamic Island could remain. Under-display Face ID could be delayed. Camera technology could move to a later generation.
That’s why the iPhone 20 Pro leaks should be read as a picture of what Apple is working towards, not a specification sheet for the finished phone.
But the direction is interesting.
Twenty years after the original iPhone changed the smartphone, Apple appears to be working on another attempt to redefine the physical design of the device.
The original iPhone put a computer in our pockets.
The iPhone 20 Pro could be about making the computer itself almost disappear.
And that may be the most important leak of all.
Stay tuned for the latest.
