TECH NEWS – To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, Apple plans to unveil a revolutionary new model, just as it did with the original in 2007.
Rumors suggest that Apple will announce the 20th-anniversary edition at next year’s keynote, and the latest renderings show the iPhone 20’s four-sided curved display. In addition to the radical design change, there will be internal upgrades, such as new battery technology, an improved camera, and the A21 chip. The video uploaded by Front Page Tech (and embedded below) shows all four sides of the iPhone 20, which curve at the edges. According to previous rumors, Samsung will be the exclusive supplier of this OLED display. As we approach the release of the iPhone 18, reports and rumors about Apple’s next-generation device will increase. Looking at these renders, we’re excited to see what will come to fruition next year.
Apple is reportedly ditching lithium-ion battery technology in favor of silicon anodes, which allow for a higher-capacity cell in the same form factor. This results in exceptionally long battery life. Additionally, the A21 chipset will debut next year, and Apple may switch to Intel’s manufacturing facilities for mass production of the system-on-a-chip (SoC). Finally, there’s the camera. According to Prosser, we can expect a new HDR sensor that will open up new possibilities in smartphone photography.
Interestingly, the latest renders of the iPhone 20 show that, unlike Apple’s typical three-sensor setup for its flagship models, the back panel features only a dual-camera system. Will the four-sided curved display design be available on all models next year? In order to advance Apple Intelligence, Apple cannot rely solely on the NPU and NVMe storage in its chipsets to handle heavy workloads. According to Prosser, therefore, the iPhone 20 will switch to mobile high-bandwidth memory (HBM) next year. Apple has long explored this DRAM upgrade to improve the AI experience on its devices. Who would have thought that Samsung found a way to use this memory beyond servers with intricate, complex packaging?
Perhaps Samsung will partner with Apple next year to supply the iPhone 20’s HBM and OLED displays.
