Writing in his Power On newsletter, the latest Power On newsletter , Gurman says that Apple is planning to unveil an e-foldable iPhone along with the “bold” new iPhone Pro model that makes better usage of glass.
Could this suggest that Apple will be able to fulfill the its former designer Jony Ive’s dream of creating an iPhone comprised of one piece of glass? It’s not clear however If Apple intends to reveal something as impressive such as iPhone X, launched in 2017 to celebrate the iPhone’s 10th anniversary it must contain something truly unique to be in the works.

In the case of iPhone X, Apple famously eliminated the Home button in favour of a totally touchscreen interface, and it replaced with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor with Face ID facial authentication.
In terms of the model number Apple will select to choose to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its iPhone It’s difficult to determine. Apple’s name conventions have changed over time. If Apple keeps its pattern of annual releases and naming numerically that will be the 2027 iPhone lineup. most likely comprise that of the iPhone 19 series.
It is worth noting that Apple is known to have previously altered its naming conventions to mark important milestones, like moving the transition from iPhone 8 to iPhone X to mark its 10th birthday. It’s therefore possible that Apple could introduce the name “iPhone 20” or adopt an alternative naming convention to commemorate its 20th birthday. We’ll need to wait and watch.
