The iPhone 17 is still months away, but rumors of the iPhone 20 are lighting up feeds and forums. Leaks from heavyweights like Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman to random Weibo insiders sketch a phone that could flip the smartphone game. Codenamed “Glasswing,” this could be Apple’s daring shot at a future where design and tech melt into one game-changing package.
Apple loves marking iPhone milestones with big swings, setting the tone here. The iPhone X in 2017 axed the home button, rolled out Face ID, and went all-in on an edge-to-edge screen. Now, a decade later, the iPhone 20 aims to top that feat. Rumors hint at a device that’s less a phone and more a single glass sheet. Jony Ive’s old dream of a bezel-free, hole-less slab seems to be the north star. Leaks tease a display that curves around all four edges, ditching bezels completely—no notch, no punch-hole, just a screen that seems to hover.

Powering this glass vision is a tech challenge Apple looks ready to tackle. By 2027, they plan to tuck both Face ID sensors and the front camera under the screen. The iPhone 18 Pro, due in 2026, will apparently test under-screen Face ID with just a tiny selfie camera hole. The iPhone 20 goes all out, erasing even that dot. Bloomberg says the “Glasswing” codename nods to this clear, almost ghostly look.
Beyond the screen, the iPhone 20’s rumored guts push boundaries. NotebookCheck leaks mention a “brand-new kind of battery,” though it’s still hazy. Guesses range from solid-state power packs for more juice to flexible designs fitting its ultra-slim frame. Charging might leap too—Geeky Gadgets picks up whispers of 50W wired and 25W wireless speeds, plus reverse wireless for AirPods or other gear. Camera talk is heating up, with Digital Chat Station on Weibo tossing out a crazy 200MP sensor idea. Whether Apple hunts megapixels or hones its photo magic is up in the air, but expect a setup building on the iPhone 16 Pro’s 48MP trio.
Apple’s software plans tie it all together. iOS 26, shown at WWDC 2025, drops a hint with its “Liquid Glass” vibe. Gurman talks translucent menus, frosted panes, and shadows that blur digital and real worlds. X users like @sentry see this as a sneak peek of the iPhone 20’s look, where software and glass blend into one flow. It’s not just eye candy—iOS 26’s “Apple Intelligence” AI could bring smart tricks like spatial gestures or live translations, making the phone feel alive in your grip.
The iPhone 20’s shape stirs as much buzz as its tech. Gurman and MacRumors tease a foldable iPhone launching in 2027, maybe as a separate model. Leaks point to a 5.5-inch outer screen flipping to a 7.8-inch inner one, rivaling an iPad Mini. Others, like Notebookcheck, say the main iPhone 20 will stick to a solid, all-glass build. The name’s a wild card too—will it be iPhone 19, iPhone 20, or something new? Apple’s iPhone X move hints at a bold shift, maybe “iPhone XX” or a fresh tag tied to its big anniversary.
