Next year’s iPhone Pro models have ‘near
Key Points:
- Apple is planning a major redesign for next year’s iPhone Pro models, featuring a "near-borderless" display with a four-sided bending screen that curves around all edges for a full-screen appearance.
- The 20th anniversary iPhone Pro models will retain their unique design despite earlier doubts from some analysts.
- Apple will delay the adoption of two advanced display technologies, Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE) and Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide Plus (LTPO+), which were expected to enable thinner panels and better power efficiency.
- The postponement is attributed to higher memory prices increasing costs and Apple's desire for better solutions than current COE and LTPO+ technologies.
- While these display technology upgrades are delayed, the key design innovation of the near-borderless screen remains on track, likely to be the main focus for users.
