It looks like Apple is planning something completely different for the twentieth anniversary of its famous smartphone. According to recent supply chain leaks, the company is actively testing a brand new device featuring a display that curves around all four edges. If these early rumors hold, this massive design shift could officially arrive on the highly anticipated iPhone 20 model sometime next year. This would create a truly borderless look that fans have wanted for years.
What a quad-curved screen actually means
A quad-curved display simply means the front glass wraps over the top, bottom, and both sides of the phone. This design removes the flat metal borders you usually see and creates a neat illusion that the entire device is made entirely out of screen. Because the glass would cover the side edges, reports suggest Apple might completely remove the physical volume and power buttons.
Instead, it could replace them with flat, touch-sensitive areas that just vibrate to mimic a click when you press them.
Apple is allegedly pushing for an invisible front camera
To make this all-glass dream a reality, the company also needs to hide the selfie camera and the facial recognition sensors. Leakers claim Apple is currently trying to push these specific components completely under the display. While earlier reports said the tech giant was struggling to get the under-screen camera working properly, it seems the team is still pushing hard to finalize the hardware.
Even if the hidden camera is not fully ready in time, the wrapped screen alone would make the twentieth anniversary model look totally different from anything else on the market right now.
