Apple’s future iPhone Pro models could receive a significant design overhaul, with reports pointing to a new quad curved display and a more seamless front design. The changes are expected to arrive as part of the iPhone’s 20th anniversary updates, but instead of launching a separate model, the redesign may be applied directly to the Pro lineup.
The report suggests that upcoming versions of the iPhone Pro will feature a four edge curved display, creating a near bezel free look. This would mark a notable shift from the current flat edge design Apple has used in recent years, as reported by 9to5Mac.
Analysts indicate that Apple is also working toward reducing or eliminating visible cutouts on the front of the device. While early versions may still include a small camera opening, the long term goal appears to be integrating components like the front camera beneath the display. This would allow for a fully uninterrupted screen surface.
Earlier speculation suggested Apple might introduce a standalone anniversary model to mark 20 years of the iPhone. However, newer reports indicate that the company plans to incorporate these design changes into its mainstream Pro and Pro Max devices instead. This approach would align major design innovation with its flagship models rather than creating a limited edition variant.
The redesign could also involve increased use of glass in the device’s construction, potentially affecting both aesthetics and durability. Apple has historically used milestone anniversaries to introduce significant hardware changes, and this update may follow a similar pattern.
The broader iPhone lineup has already seen recent adjustments, including shifts in model naming and positioning. Integrating a major design update into the Pro line could further differentiate it from standard models, especially as competition in the premium smartphone segment continues to intensify.
While these details are based on early reports and analyst insights, they point toward a potential change in how Apple approaches design evolution. Moving to a quad curved display and under display components would represent a move toward more immersive and minimal hardware design.
Apple has not officially confirmed any of these features or timelines. As with most early reports, the final specifications may change as development progresses.
