Apple plans to release a special 20th-anniversary iPhone next year with the biggest design changes since the iPhone X, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . Unveiled by Steve Jobs in 2007, the iPhone turns 20 next year. To mark the occasion, the report said Apple plans to release a 20th-anniversary iPhone with "curved glass around all corners and edges" and thinner bezels around the screen. "It will be the biggest overhaul to what is now the iPhone Pro line since the iPhone X," the report said, but no further details were provided. Released in 2017, the iPhone X was the first iPhone with Face ID. The removal of the Touch ID button allowed for the iPhone X's screen to extend more towards the edges of the device compared to previous models. It seems like the 20th-anniversary iPhone would go a step further than this by truly having the screen wrap around the corners and edges of the device, for a seemingly all-glass appearance. Rumors about the 20th-anniversary iPhone have gone back and forth, but based on Gurman's latest reporting today, the device seems to be in the works still. However, it remains to be seen if Apple can fully achieve the ambitious design changes that are apparently in development, or if plans for the device will ultimately be scaled back.

Fake dummy units of Apple's rumored upcoming iPhones The dummy unit "industry" is bigger than ever this year, as you'd expect when there are three flagship models coming out, not just two. In recent weeks we've seen 3D prints and metal blanks, of what case manufacturers think that iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and folding iPhone will look like. It's also crucial to recognize that these are just useful to visualize the design and size of the new units. They give zero insight into the internals of the phone or what features it may support.

Expect to spend $2,000 or more. Apple Watches Apple Watch Series 12: A faster S11 chip or newer, longer battery life , and a ceramic case option .
