Apple Still Planning 'Glass-Centric' iPhone Redesign for 2027
MacRumors • • business
Key Points:
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman confirms that Apple's glass-centric iPhone redesign is still planned for 2027, countering Jefferies analyst Edison Lee's claim that the all-glass iPhone was canceled.
- The 20th-anniversary iPhone will feature heavy use of glass on the front and back, wrapping around the edges and sandwiching a thin metal band for a sleek look.
- Apple is expected to launch iPhone Pro models next year with this new glassy design, internally referred to as V73 and V74, featuring curved glass sides and a metal band in the middle.
- A more ambitious all-glass design was scrapped early in development, which may be the version Lee referenced, but it was not a recent cancellation.
- Contrary to Lee's report, there is no indication of an additional all-glass iPhone model beyond the Pro and Pro Max versions expected in next year's lineup.
