Apple reportedly planning all-glass iPhone 20 for 2027 anniversary
Key points
- Apple is reportedly working on an all-glass iPhone design for the iPhone 20, expected in 2027.
- The device would mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.
- A Chinese leaker claims a production site has been renovated for glass processing.
- The leaker says Apple's preferred plan has "returned to glass" after apparently considering other materials.
Summary
(AI)
The rumor originates from a Weibo account called Fixed Focus Digital, which claims a production site is being prepared for glass parts processing. Notebookcheck frames this as a special anniversary edition, while AppleInsider notes the leaker referenced a processing method similar to “the first-generation Air,” though what that refers to remains unclear.
The phrasing “returned to glass” suggests Apple had explored other design directions before settling on this approach. Neither outlet cites confirmation from Apple or named supply-chain sources.
