Apple is said to be testing its 2027 iPhone in evaluation and mass production trials, with the rumored model tipped to bring a quad-curved OLED display that wraps around all four sides of the phone for the first time. The leak has prompted fresh speculation that Apple may skip the iPhone 19 Pro name and call the device the iPhone 20 Pro instead, tying it to the company’s 20th anniversary.
The claim comes from Digital Chat Station, which said Apple has already entered mass production testing of the device. The same leaker has a track record that has drawn attention before, having correctly shared details about the iPhone Air ahead of release and reported that the iPhone 17 Pro would move to 48-megapixel sensors on all three rear cameras. If accurate, the new handset would land in the fall of 2027, after the iPhone 18 Pro is expected in fall 2026.
The rumored display would be the biggest design shift the iPhone has seen since the company introduced the tenth-anniversary iPhone X in 2017. That model reshaped the modern iPhone with a new edge-to-edge look, and this one is being framed in the same way: not as a routine refresh, but as a structural change to how the phone is built and viewed. The article’s description of a quad-curved OLED display suggests Apple is aiming for a panel that bends on all four sides rather than only along the edges.
That idea lines up with earlier reporting that Apple had lined up Samsung Display to produce a four-micro-curve OLED panel, a view Digital Chat Station was still holding as recently as April 2026. A separate report in September 2025 said Samsung Display was already working on Color Filter on Encapsulation technology for the Liquid Glass Display, which would fit the broader push toward a more advanced panel design. The display talk is also being echoed by leaker Ice Universe, who has hinted that the curvature would be extremely subtle rather than resembling the waterfall-style screens seen on some Android phones.
For now, the most important detail is timing. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro in fall 2026, then follow with the iPhone 19 Pro in the fall of 2027 if the current naming holds. But the naming remains part of the rumor itself, and the 20th-anniversary theory is what is giving the leak its momentum. If Apple does adopt the iPhone 20 Pro label, the message would be simple: this would not be a routine sequel, but the company’s attempt to mark 20 years of iPhone with the boldest redesign since 2017.
