Apple may be considering a radical redesign of its displays for the upcoming 20th-anniversary iPhone, giving consumers a bezel-less screen similar to those on high-end devices from Samsung, Huawei, or Honor. <\/p>\n

The company is reportedly eyeing a partnership with Samsung to release an iPhone with a \u201cmicro-curved\u201d OLED display, according to a post from an Apple leaker on Chinese social network Weibo, spotted by MacRumors.<\/p>\n

This means the screen would curve out over all four sides of the device, rather than forming a hard, straight angle like current iPhones. But it also means the curves may be more moderate than the curved screens found in Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S25 Edge, or even more extreme \u201cwaterfall\u201d curved screens, such as those found in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.<\/p>\n

The leak also says Apple is planning a \u201cpol-less\u201d display from Samsung. This would mean a panel design that removes the \u201cpolarizer layer,” a display component that typically sits on top of the iPhone’s display and manages light, impacting things like readability and contrast.<\/p>\n

Apple also reportedly plans to use Samsung’s COE (Color Filter on Encapsulation) instead of its regular polarizer layer in its OLED, comparing the color filter directly to the display’s encapsulation layer. MacRumors thinks this could reduce the thickness of the iPhone\u2019s display stack while improving brightness and minimizing power consumption. This new leak lines up with a report from September 2025 in Korean publication ETNews.<\/p>\n

Rumors have been swirling for some time that the iPhone’s 20th anniversary will bring big changes. Roughly this time last year, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was eyeing \u201ca major shake-up\u201d for the iPhone\u2019s 20th anniversary in 2027. The overhaul was rumored to include a foldable iPhone and a new Pro model that makes \u201cmore extensive use of glass.\u201d<\/p>\n
