Apple is testing a big change for its 20th anniversary phone. This device will likely arrive in 2027 as the iPhone 20. Reports from the supply chain say Apple wants to remove all moving buttons. They will replace these with solid state buttons built into a curved glass body. This means the phone will have a smooth exterior without any gaps for dust or water. It is a bold move that changes how we use our phones daily.<\/p>\n

Advanced Display and Under-screen Camera Systems<\/h2>\n

A phone, with no buttons sounds a bit scary at first. You might be wondering how you will restart the phone if the phone hangs. I mean, what if the phone just stops working how do you restart the phone then?<\/p>\n

Basically, Apple<\/a> is using pressure sensors instead of physical switches. These sensors will work even if you are wearing gloves or have wet hands. Apple is also working on a screen that has no holes at all. They want to hide the Face ID sensors and the selfie camera under the glass. To do this they are using a dual-layer OLED panel for this. This is the same high quality screen found in the newest iPad Pro models. It stays bright and lasts much longer than regular screens. I saw some early sketches and the phone looks like a smooth piece of black stone.<\/p>\n

The glass itself is getting a boost too. We all hate those tiny scratches that appear after putting a phone in a pocket with 10 rupee coins. The new Ceramic Shield Ultra aims to fix this. It is a special mix of glass and ceramic that resists metal much better.<\/p>\n

Bigger Battery and Reverse Wireless Charging<\/h2>\n

Instead of a button that moves, the phone will vibrate to trick your brain into feeling a click. (This is similar to how the old iPhone 7 home button worked). Wait, before we get into the specs, you should know about the battery. A 6,000mAh battery is huge for an iPhone. It could easily last for two or three days on a single charge.<\/p>\n

I also heard that this phone will support reverse wireless charging<\/a>. This means you can just place your AirPods on the back of your iPhone to fill their battery. You will not need to carry extra cables while traveling in the metro. Actually, Apple is testing this very strictly to make sure it works with thick covers.<\/p>\n

Apple usually plans these special models years in advance. They did the same with the iPhone X back in 2017. I will keep an eye on more leaks from the factories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
