Captain LagbeardApple’s planning a massive iPhone redesign for 2027—foldable screens, glass chassis & more! Leaks, rumors, and Jony Ive’s wildest dreams revealed!
Hold onto your wallets, Apple stans—Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman just leaked that Apple’s cooking up a radical iPhone redesign for 2027 (the OG iPhone’s 20th birthday!). And no, it’s not just another camera bump. Think foldable screens, all-glass bodies, and a throwback to Jony Ive’s wildest fantasies.
Here’s the Scoop (Source: Bloomberg):
- 2027’s Big Guns: A foldable iPhone and an iPhone 19 Pro with a “glass-heavy” design. Gurman’s cryptic about details, but rumors hint at a wrap-around screen (à la Xiaomi Mix Alpha) or a chassis so sleek, it’s “like a single sheet of glass” (Jony Ive’s 2017 wet dream, finally realized?).
- iPhone 17 Pro Reality Check: Forget those “two-tone back” renders—Gurman confirms it’ll look like the iPhone 16 Pro, just with a wider camera island. (RIP to your case compatibility.)
Why 2027?
- Nostalgia Cash Grab: 20 years since Steve Jobs changed phones forever. Expect limited editions, throwback ads, and maybe even a “2007” price tag ($599? LOL, no.).
- Foldable Flex: Apple’s late to the foldable game, but Gurman says they’re aiming to “redefine the category.” Translation: Samsung, hide your Z Flips.
Jony Ive’s Ghost (Probably) Approves:
Back in 2017, Apple’s ex-design guru pitched an iPhone that’s all glass—thin, seamless, and borderline fragile. Now, it seems Tim Cook’s team is finally dusting off those blueprints. Will it shatter if you side-eye it? Probably. Will it look fire? Absolutely.
What About the iPhone 17 Pro?
- No Two-Tone Nonsense: Gurman shut down rumors of a dual-color back. It’s staying monotone, folks.
- Camera Island Stretch: The lenses will span the entire width of the phone. Perfect for… blocking 30% of your screen?
TL;DR: Apple’s 2027 iPhones could be the biggest glow-up since the notch. Foldables! Glass bodies! And a Jony Ive tribute act! Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro’s just here to widen your camera bump.
P.S. Start saving now—that foldable might cost more than your rent.
