Apple’s next iPhone Pro models could move closer to a near-borderless front design, according to a new supply-chain report. The claim concerns phones expected in 2027, so it remains an unconfirmed report rather than an announced Apple product feature.
The report, attributed to The Elec, says Apple is working toward further shrinking the display border on future Pro iPhones. Apple has not commented on the design or confirmed a release schedule.
Display borders have steadily narrowed across recent iPhone generations, but a near-borderless panel creates engineering questions around durability, front sensors and the placement of the Dynamic Island components. None of those implementation details are public.

What remains unconfirmed
A report about a future component plan does not establish the finished design. Apple can change suppliers, specifications and product features before a device reaches production. The report also does not confirm prices, screen sizes, cameras or whether the design would extend beyond the Pro models.
For prospective buyers, the report is not a reason to delay a purchase today. Apple’s current iPhone lineup is the only hardware the company has announced, and any 2027 changes should be viewed as long-range reporting until Apple provides details.
