Apple Reportedly Testing Bezel-Less, Quad-Curved Displays for iPhone 20 Pro

The smaller of the two prototypes is said to use a 6.41-inch panel with a resolution of 2,686 x 1,236, while the larger model could reach 6.96 inches at 2,912 x 1,340. Those figures are unremarkable on their own; the leak's focus is the glass around them. A quad-curved screen would bend slightly toward the frame on all four sides, in addition to the reported punch-hole camera cutout.

Digital Chat Station did not publish an image of the prototype, so the extent of the curves is not known. The leaker Ice Universe reposted the claim on X together with an illustration of how such an iPhone might look. Android Authority notes that the image is not a leaked photo of Apple hardware and should not be treated as one.

The reported design resembles the bezel-less Concept Phone that TECNO showed recently, which extends the display to the phone's frame with no visible border. Android brands have experimented with curved screens for years, and rumors that Apple was working toward a bezel-free iPhone circulated before TECNO's concept appeared. The two approaches differ in execution but point to the same idea of a front face that is almost entirely screen.

Android Authority points out that older curved Android phones caused usability problems including accidental touches. If Apple can make a display run to all four edges without repeating those problems, the report argues, similar experiments from Android manufacturers would be worth following.

These are reportedly test panels. The iPhone 18 Pro series has just launched, and Apple's next major iPhone release is still about a year away, leaving room for the dimensions, the curves and the display cutout to change before anything reaches stores. The report's framing is that bezels have been shrinking for years and the next step may be making them disappear.
