Apple is planning to release its iPhone 20 line in 2027, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone. Most recent reports on the industry suggest that the 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027 by Apple might not be covered by an all-screened design as it was anticipated before. The company is instead considering various form factors such as the Foldable iPhone and the Flip iPhone to diversify its product line in the next two years.
Apple iPhone 20 Series and Design Strategy
According to leaked supply chain news, Apple will bypass the iPhone 19 name and directly roll out the Apple iPhone 20 series in 2027. The new models will probably consist of iPhone 20, iPhone 20 Pro, and iPhone 20 Pro Max and will have a redesigned curvy display and under-screen sensors. The history, however, suggests that the all-screen design of the 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027 is not likely to be launched by Apple since the issues of successfully embedding Face ID and front cameras underneath the screen remain unresolved.
Apple iPhone 20 Series Price Expectations
Analyst reports suggest the Apple iPhone 20 series will enter a higher price range compared to current models. The Foldable iPhone is expected to start between USD 2,000 to USD 2,500, equivalent to around PKR 600,000–700,000 in Pakistan, depending on taxes and import duties. The standard iPhone 20 models are projected to surpass the USD 1,000 mark, making them among Apple’s most premium flagship phones yet.
Foldable iPhone and iPhone Flip Timeline
The suppliers in Apple report that the Foldable iPhone can be launched earlier, in 2026 or early 2027, with a book-style hinge display. Subsequently, Apple will launch the iPhone Flip, the clamshell-designed phone, like competitors, having a foldable model, only perhaps it will be launched in 2028. Apple has a multi-year roadmap that includes these new form factors as it will go beyond the traditional slate-like designs.
Analysts suspect that the 2027 launch strategy of Apple will revolve around commemorating its history with the use of new materials, innovations in the display field and new product lines. Although the iPhone 20 will dominate the iPhone 2027, the Foldable iphone and iphone Flip are set to mark the next stage of the hardware experimentation and market exploration of Apple.
