The idea of the “Glasswing” project would be a new iPhone. So understand that he would not replace another model and would be out of the decade compared to the traditional iPhone and the potential iPhone foldable in rumors for several years and also planned for 2027.
The iPhone “Glasswing” would be a smartphone almost entirely in glass with curved edges and sensors directly integrated under the screen. No notch would be visible and the design would recall the technological evolution of the iPhone X which declared the transition to the “any screen” in 2017. Such a description is reminiscent of the project of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha which was a concept of telephone entirely covered by a screen.
This “Glasswing” iPhone project is however only at the rumor stage and it would not be surprising that Apple still reflects its ad or even cancels it before formalizing it. It will therefore be necessary to wait quietly until 2027 to see what the firm reserves for its fans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.
