APPLE'S 20TH-ANNIVERSARY IPHONE JUST SURVIVED A CANCELLATION SCARE
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Apple's rumored 20th-anniversary iPhone with a dramatic glass-centric design is still reportedly on track for a 2027 launch, despite recent claims that supply chain issues had forced the company to cancel the project. The design is expected to feature curved glass wrapping around the front, back, and sides of the device, with a metal band for structural support after more ambitious all-glass concepts proved impractical. Before then, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, its first foldable iPhone, and several other models. Incoming CEO John Ternus may use the 2027 redesign as a major statement for a new era of Apple hardware.
