Apple is testing an iPhone 19 Pro with a display that curves around all four edges of the device, a leaker out of China has claimed.<\/p>\n

According to Weibo-based Digital Chat Station, the 2027-generation Pro device, currently at the evaluation stage, has a hole-punch cutout in the display for the front-facing camera, but Face ID is completely hidden under the panel.<\/p>\n

The claim is notable because multiple reports suggest Apple is aiming to launch a 20th-anniversary iPhone next year featuring a quad-curved display with no cutouts. Whether Apple plans to position the commemorative model as an ultra-premium tier above its Pro and Pro Max lineup has remained unclear, but the leaker’s latest comments suggest that could be the case.<\/p>\n

That said, if Apple is planning to use quad-curved panels across both the iPhone 19 Pro and iPhone 19 Pro Max, it would leave the company less room to differentiate them from the rumored commemorative iPhone.<\/p>\n

One way Apple could play it is to keep the uninterrupted display exclusive to the 20th-anniversary iPhone while leaving a hole-punch cutout in the 19 Pro models \u2013 an option that the leaker’s comments do seem to imply. However, Apple is said to be finding it particularly challenging to get both the Face ID system and the front-facing camera under the panel, with the selfie camera proving to be the most difficult to hide. <\/p>\n

If existing technologies can’t hide the camera under the panel without degrading quality, Apple is unlikely to go ahead with it \u2013 which would leave the 2027 iPhone series’ differentiation outlined here unresolved.<\/p>\n

Digital Chat Station has more than three million followers on Weibo, and has a track record of accurately leaking Apple-related information. For example, they accurately revealed the overall design of the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, as well as the triple 48-megapixel rear camera system of the \u200ciPhone 17 Pro.\u200c Recently, the leaker claimed Apple’s first foldable, expected to arrive alongside the iPhone 18…<\/p>\n
