Apple is preparing a significant hardware redesign for its upcoming iPhone Pro lineup, moving toward a near-borderless display for 2027 models, according to a report by analyst Jeff Pu cited by 9to5Mac. The planned changes are expected to arrive during the second half of 2027, shifting the primary innovation focus to mainstream Pro and Pro Max configurations.
Quad-Curved Display and Design Evolution
According to reporting from 9to5Mac, the 2027 hardware update will feature a quad-curved display that creates a bezel-free visual effect across all four edges. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman originally indicated that Apple was developing a bold new Pro model utilizing more extensive glass surfaces, initially framing it as a standalone 20th-anniversary device. However, subsequent supply chain analysis from Jeff Pu points to this glass-heavy aesthetic being integrated directly into the standard iPhone Pro and Pro Max tier rather than existing as a separate product category. The evolution of the iPhone lineup has experienced ongoing shifts recently. Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone Air to replace the Plus model, and an initial Ultra model is scheduled for release in autumn. The newly detailed 2027 design roadmap suggests that the company will use the twentieth anniversary of the original iPhone to overhaul its upper-tier pro devices.
Camera Cutouts and Under-Display Technology
Alongside the four-edge curved glass configuration, ongoing engineering efforts target front-facing camera cutouts. While initial rumors indicated that Apple aimed to eliminate all glass cutouts entirely for the anniversary release, current supply chain tracking shows that development efforts remain focused on refining under-display camera technology while maintaining a small camera cutout in the interim, as outlined by 9to5Mac.
