The iPhone has looked the same for a while now, but that could change in 2027. Apple is reportedly planning something special for next year as it will be the 20th anniversary of the iPhone's debut.
The Cupertino, California-based company could announce a redesigned iPhone, similar to what it did with the iPhone X for its 10th anniversary. The iPhone X was the first Apple phone without Touch ID, marked the debut of Face ID and an all-new look with minimal bezels. This design is still echoed in the current iPhone 17 line. Apple's 20th-anniversary edition iPhone could get a similar treatment. It'll have an "extraordinarily complex" design, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a noted Apple analyst.
The original iPhone debuted in 2007 and became an icon over time. While it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is today, its legacy and impact on society, business and communication are practically unmatched. But Apple has changed since those Steve Jobs days of the iPhone and now plays a different role in our world as it faces new competition from generative AI companies. While we're two generations away from the 20th-anniversary edition iPhone, it is already looking like a prominent product that could help define Apple's next 10 years. Here's what we know so far about Apple's upcoming iPhone.
