Apple prepares the ‘perfect iPhone’: what will change in 2027
By ForGeeks In two years, Apple could reveal a smartphone that fulfills Steve Jobs’ dream of a completely frameless and port-free device.
iPhone has come a long way in nearly two decades, from the first model with a physical button to today’s devices with advanced cameras and chips. But in all that time, Apple has been working toward one idea that Steve Jobs had in mind: to create a smartphone without buttons, ports, or visual clutter. And it looks like in 2027, we’ll finally see what he envisioned it to be.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is designing a radically new iPhone to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the lineup. Its design promises to be the most radical in the brand’s history.
What is known about the “flawless iPhone”?”
Apple plans to do away with physical connectors altogether. Charging will be wireless only, sound will be exclusively via Bluetooth. The screen will be stripped of all notches, bezels, and holes. The camera and sensors will be hidden beneath the display, and the body will be a monolithic slab of glass.
Vendors are already working on new panels that will make the screen completely frameless – the picture will completely fill the front surface of the device. Such technology already exists, and some manufacturers (like RedMagic) have started using it. But Apple has a chance to make it a mass standard.
A parallel discussion is centered on the transition to more energy-efficient batteries. That’s especially important as performance and autonomy demands increase.
But can Apple pull it off?”
Despite its ambitious plans, there’s no certainty that they’ll come to fruition. The company has made plenty of mistakes in recent years. iOS and iPadOS updates have failed, new AI features – branded Apple Intelligence – have been underdeveloped, and sales of Apple Vision Pro have fallen short of expectations.
In addition, Apple hasn’t always been successful in bringing large-scale initiatives to fruition. Its autonomous car project has been shut down, and development of home robots has been put on pause because of problems with artificial intelligence.
And Apple has not always been successful in completing large-scale initiatives.
Add to that trade disputes, increased competition, and the company’s own caution, and it’s clear that realizing the “perfect iPhone” in 2027 will be a challenge.
Why it can still happen
Apple is still setting trends in the industry. If it manages to release a frameless, portless, portless smartphone with an under-screen camera and stable software, it could be the start of a new era of mobile technology. And competitors, as they have done many times, will catch the wave and start moving in the same direction.
For now, we’ll just have to wait. But if the company does indeed unveil an iPhone worthy of anniversary status in 2027, it could be the biggest breakthrough since the first model was released in 2007.
