Though the post is unclear on where Apple stands in the process, it does highlight another key design feature being tested: a quad-curved display.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, a quad-curved display would wrap around the corners of the device to provide essentially a bezel-free, all-screen design. This might explain why the iPhone 20 is <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/10\/28\/leaker-says-iphone-20-will-drop-every-physical-button-go-all-in-on-haptics\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumored<\/a> to drop physical buttons for haptic ones.<\/p>\n<p>We heard <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/14\/20th-anniversary-iphone-to-be-totally-bezel-free-have-hi-tech-battery-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last May<\/a> that this design was being considered, but it seems to have progressed further now.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible Apple can still accomplish a cutout-free display too, which would enhance the effect of a truly all-screen design.<\/p>\n<p>But even if it\u2019s unable to move all the necessary components under the screen, this quad-curved display would by itself represent a noticeably unique design for the iPhone 20.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully Apple can achieve its goals for the 20th anniversary model. But even if not, it should be a very interesting next couple years for iPhone designs.<\/p>\n<p>Would you want an iPhone 20 with quad-curved display?
