Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2026 was all about delivering on past Siri promises and building stable, privacy-led OS experiences. It didn't make any over-the-top promises and was a good setup for the new CEO, John Ternus, taking charge on Sept. 1. He will officially begin his stint right before the expected iPhone 18 series launch, but there's another big Apple anniversary coming up in 2027. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the iPhone's debut, and it is expected to give us a drastically different iPhone. It could be Ternus' second major iPhone announcement after the rumored iPhone Fold, which is expected to be announced later this year.
The current generation of iPhones got a new camera island, but Apple's overall design has remained the same for a few years now -- flat sides, Dynamic Island on the front and an increasing number of buttons on the sides. However, this approach could change next year.
We're bracing ourselves for a 2017 iPhone X-like launch, which debuted a refreshed design, celebrating the iPhone's 10th anniversary. It introduced Face ID and an all-new look with minimal bezels. That design still echoes through the current iPhone 17 line. The 20th-anniversary edition Apple iPhone (the iPhone 20) could get a similar era-defining redesign. It'll have an "extraordinarily complex" design, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a noted Apple analyst.
