Sketchy report says 'possibility' of screen distortion in the iPhone 20 ...
A sketchy supply chain report out of Korea claims that the bezel-free display destined for the iPhone 20 is an early iteration of the technology and there is “a possibility of screen distortion.” The report was updated from an earlier version, which said that Apple was willing to accept a “compromise” on the 2027 model, with a better version planned for 2028 … The iPhone 20, or 20th anniversary iPhone Early reporting suggested that we would see a 20th anniversary iPhone next year as a special edition along the lines of the iPhone Air and upcoming iPhone Ultra folding phone. However, subsequent reports indicate that the features rumored for the model may instead feature in the iPhone 20 Pro and Pro Max. The difference between the two is merely a matter of branding – essentially, how much fuss Apple would make about the new design. Either way, the design is expected to be a big step forward for the company’s long-term goal of a phone which looks like “a single slab of glass.” It’s said that the display will curve around the edges on all four sides to give at least the impression of a bezel-free screen. In reality, there may be some Apple Watch-style optical illusion going on where the curved edges are not actually part of the display. ‘Possibility of screen distortion’ Supply chain publication ETNews says that Samsung and LG are both gearing up to manufacture the panels for the iPhone 20. The report suggests that there will be two distinct generations of the tech: one for the 2027 model and another for a 2028 update, but it’s a somewhat confusing story. The original version of the report said that the 2027 version would include “the possibility of screen distortion,” which would be resolved in the 2028 model. It suggested that Apple was willing to accept the “compromise” of a less than ideal display in order to launch next year. However, an updated version has removed this latter comment. It now reads: Apple plans to further evolve the ‘4-sided bending’ display, which it plans to apply to the 20th anniversary iPhone next year, in 2028 […] Currently, the display cathode layer is made of magnesium and gallum alloy (Mg·Ag). In this case, there is a possibility of screen distortion of the 4-sided bending part and the luminosity (luminosity per unit area) decreases. In order to solve the problem, we plan to implement transparent electrodes by replacing the display cathode layer with indium and azenze oxide (IZO) in the 2028 product. That still appears...
iPhone 20 Pro sparks excitement with Apple's 'perfect screen' vision
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 20 Pro next year to mark the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone’s debut. Although still about a year away from launch, Apple’s 20th anniversary iPhone - the iPhone 20 Pro - is already generating massive excitement across the tech world. The latest leaks suggest Apple is preparing a major redesign for the iPhone lineup, with the spotlight falling on the iPhone 20 Pro and its nearly flawless front display, free from visible interruptions. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 20 Pro next year to mark two decades since the launch of the first iPhone. If everything goes according to plan and supply chain partners meet production requirements, Apple’s new CEO John Ternus is expected to introduce the device as a symbolic milestone for the company. Unsurprisingly, Apple’s ambitious vision has already captured global attention. The “perfect display” Apple has pursued for years According to industry sources, the iPhone 20 Pro will feature a completely edge-to-edge display, though not in the same way curved-screen smartphones approached the concept in the past. Instead of dramatically curved edges like many Android phones once adopted, Apple is reportedly sticking with a flat design while reducing bezels to the point of near invisibility. The most striking detail is the absence of any visual interruption on the display. No notch, no punch-hole camera, no Dynamic Island and no cutout of any kind. The selfie camera and Face ID sensors are expected to sit entirely beneath the display panel. If Apple’s broader plans also materialize, the iPhone 20 Pro could even eliminate external speaker grilles and physical buttons altogether. Such changes would mark a major step toward Apple’s long-standing ambition of turning the iPhone into an ultra-minimalist device where the front surface is nothing but screen. Users appear intrigued by Apple’s direction A recent survey on the idea of a fully uninterrupted smartphone display showed that consumers are highly interested in Apple’s rumored direction. More than 40% of respondents said they would immediately buy such a phone without hesitation. Meanwhile, roughly 14% said a completely seamless display would strongly influence their next smartphone purchase decision. The figures suggest there is still strong demand for a truly immersive screen experience. After years of adapting to notches, punch-hole cameras and Dynamic Island designs, many users still want a display free from distractions...
