I'm not convinced the 20th anniversary iPhone will be what we think, here's why

Key Points:

• Apple is rumored to be developing a radical new design for the iPhone's 20th anniversary, potentially called iPhone 20, featuring a single slab of glass with a 7-inch display, curved edges, and under-display Face ID and camera technology.
• The new design may not replace the current Pro models, as the iPhone 17 Pro emphasized a utilitarian aluminum design for better thermal performance, while the anniversary model’s all-glass design could compromise this.
• It is speculated that the 20th anniversary iPhone might instead replace the iPhone Air line, with a potential 2027-2028 lineup including iPhone 19 Pro/Pro Max, two sizes of the anniversary iPhone, a second-generation foldable iPhone, and iPhone 19/iPhone 19e models.
• Despite widespread rumors that the anniversary iPhone will replace the Pro models, the author suggests Apple may keep the current Pro design for an additional generation due to its emphasis on performance and durability.
• The iPhone 20 launch is still over a year away, so details and plans may evolve, and the final product might be less radical than current rumors suggest.
