To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone in 2027, Apple is reportedly preparing an anniversary model called the iPhone XX, featuring an edge-to-edge OLED screen completely devoid of visible sensors. However, the complete removal of the selfie camera and Face ID components under the screen would still pose technical challenges for the manufacturer.
While the iPhone's 10th anniversary was marked by notable innovations on the iPhone X model, including the edge-to-edge OLED screen and the removal of the Home button in favor of Face ID facial recognition, Apple also wants to make a splash for the 20th anniversary of its flagship product, normally called the iPhone 19, but most likely the iPhone XX, knowing Apple. An anniversary iPhone that wants to make history. Rumors circulating for some time predict a model with an innovative design for the twentieth anniversary of the smartphone launched in 2007, notably the absence of bezels around the OLED screen that would wrap around all four sides of the device, and a screen devoid of any sensors. Making the selfie camera and other Face ID components invisible is, however, complicated; Apple is apparently encountering difficulties in concealing them under the screen. This is what the Chinese leaker Fixed Focus Digital reports on the Chinese network Weibo, specifying that the manufacturer is currently focusing on reducing the size of these elements. Will Apple be able to keep to its 2027 schedule? These statements corroborate previous rumors about the shrinking of the Dynamic Island area, whose size depends on that of the sensors. Thus, with each new model, the sensors will become less and less visible, until they become invisible. It remains to be seen whether Apple will be fast enough in terms of development to make them completely disappear from the anniversary model expected at the end of 2027. If Apple manages to finalize its OLED screen completely devoid of sensors, the iPhone XX could well become one of the most significant models of 2027 and make a splash for the model's 20th anniversary.
