Apple is apparently working on a new iPhone redesign, scheduled to be released for its 20th anniversary in 2027. There are indications that the iPhone 19 Pro could follow a similar direction to the iPhone X in 2017\u2014meaning a significant departure from the previous design. This information comes from a Bloomberg report citing internal sources. The changes affect both the chassis and possible new model variants, including a foldable iPhone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark its 10th anniversary, Apple released the iPhone X in 2017. The device marked a clear break with the past: the home button was eliminated, the display was almost bezel-less, and for the first time, the price exceeded $1,000. These innovations shaped the smartphone market for the next few years. Now another anniversary is upon us\u201420 years of the iPhone. And Apple appears to be preparing for another major redesign. While not everything will be revolutionary immediately, several clues point to profound changes starting in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone 2027: What we know so far<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New design with more glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Apple is said to be working on a fundamentally new design for the iPhone, which is scheduled to launch in 2027. The goal is to mark the anniversary with a visible change. The focus will be on a new Pro model, which will rely more heavily on glass than previous models. Whether the entire casing will be made of glass or just parts of it is still unclear. The idea of a completely glass iPhone has been around internally at Apple for some time \u2013 initial speculation about it arose in 2017 with the iPhone X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foldable iPhone still in planning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the glass iPhone, according to several sources, Apple is still working on a foldable iPhone \u2013 the so-called iPhone Fold. It was originally expected to be released as early as 2025. These estimates come from well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, for example. Recently, however, several rumors have agreed that the foldable iPhone will not appear until 2026 or 2027. Bloomberg assumes that Apple could use the anniversary year of 2027 for the launch. That would be eight years after Samsung's first Galaxy Fold. A foldable iPad and a foldable MacBook Pro are also being discussed for this period. Analyst Jeff Pu also sees these devices on the schedule for 2026 or 2027. This would mean Apple is jumping into an already established market, but likely with a more mature version than the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
