The first screen details of the iPhone 20 Pro series, which Apple allegedly prepared for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, have begun to emerge. Stating that a screen design that was slightly curved towards four edges was previously tested on the devices, Digital Chat Station shared new information about screen sizes and resolutions this time. According to the leak, the iPhone 20 Pro has a panel that is 6.41 inches in size and has a resolution of approximately 2686 x 1236 pixels. On the iPhone 20 Pro Max side, a 6.96 inch screen with a resolution of approximately 2912 x 1340 pixels is tested. In addition, it is stated that the prototypes have a curved structure approaching the frameless appearance on all four sides of the screen and a hole-shaped cutout for the front camera.
The information shared does not yet come from devices ready for mass production. Since the details provided by Digital Chat Station are based on early samples tested by Apple, there is no guarantee that the screen dimensions, panel structure or front camera design will remain the same in the final product. Despite this, the figures given show that Apple is considering slightly increasing the physical screen area while largely maintaining the screen proportions of the current Pro models. According to the source, the resolution in the new panels increases to a limited extent with the increase in screen size. Therefore, the change in question aims to provide a wider display area rather than significantly increasing the screen sharpness.
460 ppi density can be maintained on the iPhone 20 Pro screen
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which are given as comparison points in the source text, have 6.3 and 6.9 inch screens, respectively. It is stated that the iPhone 18 Pro offers a resolution of 2622 x 1206 pixels and the Pro Max offers a resolution of 2868 x 1320 pixels, while the pixel density in both models is 460 ppi. If the leaked iPhone 20 Pro measurements are correct, the screen of the smaller model will increase by approximately 0.1 inches, and the screen of the Pro Max will increase by approximately 0.06 inches. The increase in resolution will also be limited to only a few dozen pixels on the horizontal and vertical axes. When these values are evaluated together, the pixel density is expected to remain at approximately 460 ppi and a result close to the image sharpness of the current Pro models can be achieved.
In another post in April, Digital Chat Station claimed that Apple was working with Samsung on a special screen for the 20th anniversary iPhone. It was stated that the four edges of this panel were slightly curved and did not use the traditional polarizer layer. At that time, it was stated that Apple was still working on the degree of curvature of the screen, but no exact information was given about the extent to which the edges would be curved. The screen size and resolution values announced in the last leak do not provide any new details on this subject. Therefore, it remains unclear how curved the screen will be from the sides and how this structure will affect the usable screen area.
A concept video that appeared in May showed a different front-end design for the 20th anniversary iPhone. In the video in question, it was seen that the Face ID components and the front camera were placed completely under the screen and there was no visible cutout. In the new leak, a perforated screen design for the front camera is mentioned in the test devices. This indicates that Apple is evaluating more than one solution within the same development process. Other information published in the same period also claimed that the company, together with Samsung and LG, was trying to reduce the loss of brightness that may occur at curved screen edges.
Dynamic Island continues to be used in the current iPhone 18 Pro series, and the interface is designed to show three Live Activities at the same time. If the front camera is enclosed in a single hole, the front of the iPhone can be clearly distinguished from the Dynamic Island view used for the last few generations. However, the current leak does not provide clear information about whether the Face ID hardware will be moved completely under the screen. If the perforated design is reserved only for the front camera, the possibility of face recognition components working under the screen remains. Which approach Apple has chosen will only become clearer as the development process progresses.
It is claimed that the 20th anniversary iPhone is planned for 2027, and there is no final information about the naming yet. Digital Chat Station stated in June that Apple started testing and molding work for the 2027 iPhone family, and the name “iPhone 19” was used temporarily. Some news since last year also claim that Apple may skip the iPhone 19 name in its 20th anniversary model. To date, the company has not confirmed the device in question or its official model name.
