Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 17 series along with the introduction of the iPhone Air series. However, it's not the iPhone 17 or the iPhone 18 that's capturing attention—it's the iPhone 20. But why? Apple enthusiasts remain hopeful that the company will introduce a phone as impactful as the iPhone X, which was a game changer.
In 2017, Apple revolutionized smartphone design worldwide with the iPhone X, launched on its 10th anniversary. With innovations like Face ID, the notch, and the concept of a bezel-less display, the iPhone X was groundbreaking. In Apple's history, the iPhone X set a trend that continues to inspire Apple and other companies.
The iPhone X, also known as iPhone 10, is often referred to phonetically as the iPhone 'Ex', but this is incorrect. Apple named it iPhone 10—where 'X' signifies the Roman numeral for ten—due to its launch on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
As 2027 marks the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, rumors suggest Apple might introduce a phone that could revolutionize the smartphone industry. However, considering Apple’s recent trends, it seems unlikely that the company will introduce revolutionary changes in the next couple of years.
It's speculated that the iPhone XX won't feature any buttons. Interestingly, Apple appears to be increasing rather than reducing buttons in its latest models. For instance, the current iPhone 17 series includes a total of five buttons, including volume rockers and an action button.
Here's what reports suggest: the iPhone XX—also referred to as iPhone 20—could launch in 2027. According to Macrumours, the company might roll out a phone with zero bezels, resembling a sleek glass slab without any visible cutouts, as seen in today’s models.
Apple could potentially embed Face ID beneath the display, eliminating visible cutouts on the screen, and providing an expansive, uninterrupted display bordered by a seamless curve. However, the trend of curved displays has become dated, with pioneers like Samsung moving away from this design.
Reportedly, both Face ID and the selfie camera will be under-display, negating any visible interruptions on the screen, showcasing an unblemished display front.
