iPhone 20 celebrates its 20th anniversary: ​​The bezel-less 'dream' is truly in danger of failing.

Despite expectations of a design leap forward to celebrate two glorious decades of the iPhone line, the latest leaks are pouring cold water on users' hopes of a "flawless" iPhone.

Specifically, according to a report from Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, Apple is facing extremely significant technical hurdles in placing sensors under the screen. The Cupertino giant seems to have yet to find a solution to the problem of balancing display quality and the sensitivity of the hidden sensors.

This means that the iPhone 20 (expected to launch in 2027) is unlikely to have a "seamless glass body" design or a perfect edge-to-edge display like the concepts that have been so eagerly anticipated.

The consequences of this technological delay don't stop at the 20th anniversary edition. Reports suggest that even the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series is unlikely to be able to miniaturize the Dynamic Island module.

Previously, many expected the Face ID module to be moved under the screen to make room for a smaller, more compact notch, but the reality seems much harsher. This information perfectly matches the revelations from the "rumor king" Digital Chat Station , which claims that the iPhone 18 Pro duo will retain the same frame, camera module, and screen design from its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro.

If Apple can't make a last-minute breakthrough in its display manufacturing process, users will likely have to get used to the Dynamic Island "pill" for a long time to come. Being conservative in design or lagging behind in sensor-hidden technology could significantly diminish the appeal of the 20th anniversary edition, especially as Android competitors are increasingly perfecting their bezel-less display technology.
