Apple has given the iPhone two major display redesigns so far. The first arrived in 2017 with the release of the iPhone X. That phone introduced a notch at the top to house the selfie camera and Face ID components. Other than that cutout, the display stretched from edge to edge and corner to corner. No one else had such thin, symmetrical bezels at the time.In the years that followed, the notch got smaller and the bezels kept shrinking. The iPhone 14 Pro debuted the current iPhone design in 2022, replacing the notch with two cutouts at the top of the screen. That change gave Apple the chance to introduce the Dynamic Island feature, which shows live activities.By 2022, most iPhone rivals had hole-punch displays with slim, symmetrical bezels. Only a handful of Android vendors have tried to replicate Apples advanced 3D face recognition system since then.Still, iPhone users have been waiting for Apple to either match Android makers by adopting a hole-punch display or remove cutouts altogether. After all, some companies have already placed the front-facing camera under the display.Those upgrades are on the way. We've seen plenty of reports suggesting the iPhone 18 and iPhone 20 will bring fresh screen designs. The latest comes from Bloombergs Mark Gurman, who says Apple plans to shrink the iPhone 18s Dynamic Island next year.In 2027, Apple is expected to launch the 20th anniversary iPhone (iPhone 20), which should feature a display with no cutouts at all.Continue reading...The post New report details massive design upgrades for iPhone 18 and iPhone 20 appeared first on BGR.
