Bloomberg News reporter Mark Gurman reportsRefers toApple is expected to launch a new iPhone next year that will reduce the area occupied by the "Dynamic Island" to increase the screen display area and continue to move towards a full-screen display experience. The "True Full-Screen Design iPhone" that completely removes all holes is expected to be unveiled in 2027 and will be used as aThe iPhone's 20th anniversary modelOne of the highlights.
Mark Gurman pointed out that this new iPhone, positioned as the 20th anniversary model, will not only introduce a full-screen design without any openings, but is also expected to adopt a more rounded body edge design, with extremely narrow bezels and a new under-screen Face ID recognition function, making the overall appearance and operation visually more integrated. This is the new iPhone announced during WWDC 2025 this year.Liquid Glass design language.
There have been a lot of reports revealing that the iPhone 2026 Pro series that Apple will launch in 18 will adopt the under-screen Face ID facial recognition function, and will only retain the circular opening for the video camera in the upper left corner of the screen, and will no longer maintain the existing pill-shaped design. This seems to echo Mark Gurman's statement that the new iPhone launched in 2026 will adopt a smaller "dynamic island" design.
Judging by the overall design progress, Apple clearly isn't planning a hasty transition to under-screen Face ID, but rather is taking a gradual approach to ensure the technology matures and production yields. However, related news also indicates that Android phone brands are also continuously strengthening under-screen camera recognition capabilities. While many companies have launched products with under-screen camera designs in the past, the actual user experience has been less than ideal.
If all goes according to plan, the 2027 iPhone will not only be a visual evolution, but is also expected to become a milestone for Apple to look back on the XNUMX years of iPhone development.
