Apple is preparing the biggest redesign in its history. According to reputable insiders, the tech giant decided to skip the iPhone 19 line and present the iPhone 20. This move will be timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original smartphone, which Steve Jobs showed the world in 2007. We are looking forward to not just an upgrade in performance, but a complete rethinking of the concept of mobile devices.
Briefly about the main features of the iPhone 20:
-
The effect of «solid glass»: a screen without cutouts, frames or holes that visually merges with the body.
-
The end of the Dynamic Island era: all Face ID sensors and the front camera will be hidden under the display.
-
A new type of power supply: lithium-ion batteries will be replaced with powerful silicon-anode batteries.
-
A technological leap: Integration of high-speed HBM memory and complete rejection of physical buttons.
Goodbye, Dynamic Island: the cutout-free display of the future
The main idea behind the radical redesign is to create a completely clean front panel. Engineers Apple are trying to remove any distracting visual elements. The «bangs» and interactive «islands» will be replaced by a solid frameless screen. The image on it will literally flow to the very edges of the case, creating the illusion of a single glass monolith.
To implement this concept, Apple plans to completely abandon Dynamic Island. Camera and sensors Face ID integrated directly under the display matrix. The technology of under-crane sensors has finally reached a quality that meets the high standards of the Cupertino team.
iPhone Air-style design and touch-sensitive edges
An interesting detail in the first insider renders is the main camera module. Instead of the usual massive unit with three sensors, the flagship may get a sophisticated dual camera in the style of the future iPhone Air.
In addition, the iPhone 20 will lose the last mechanical elements:
-
The physical volume and lock keys will disappear.
-
They will be replaced by sensitive touch edges with tactile vibration feedback (the new generation Taptic Engine simulates real pressing).
Revolution inside: silicon anode battery and HBM memory
The technical component of the anniversary flagship is no less impressive than its appearance. Apple plans to abandon traditional lithium-ion batteries in favour of silicon-anode batteries. This technology will significantly increase the power consumption of the smartphone without bloating its dimensions and maintaining the ultra-thin profile of the case.
The device's performance and processing of Apple Intelligence algorithms will be ensured by a fundamentally new architecture using HBM high-speed memory (High Bandwidth Memory). This will provide a huge increase in bandwidth and bring mobile gaming and neural networks to the level of full-fledged computers.
