In a bold move that could redefine smartphone design, Apple is preparing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone with the launch of iPhone 20, set to debut in 2027. According to industry leaks, this release will completely abandon traditional buttons in favor of solid-state touch controls with advanced haptic feedback.
Reports suggest that Apple may skip the “iPhone 19” and jump straight to “iPhone 20” as a symbolic gesture for this major milestone, marking a perfect blend of innovation and legacy.
A well-known leaker from China revealed that the device will feature invisible solid-state buttons powered by vibration technology that simulates the sensation of pressing without actual movement — delivering a smoother and more futuristic experience.
🔹 These new controls will handle power, volume, and camera shutter functions using haptic responses.
🔹 The innovation will also make the device more durable and resistant to dust and water by eliminating mechanical components.
Apple reportedly plans to extend this technology to future iPad and MacBook models, continuing its trend toward sleek, integrated, and minimalist designs.
According to leaks, Apple has completed the development of these solid-state touch buttons and plans to begin mass production of iPhone 20 in 2027, coinciding with the brand’s 20th-anniversary celebration of the original iPhone.
Additionally, the iPhone 18 lineup, expected two years earlier, may introduce an upgraded camera button offering greater accuracy and responsiveness.
While Apple has not officially confirmed these details, some aspects of the design are likely to evolve as development progresses.
📱 Apple seems ready once again to redefine innovation and history in one revolutionary device.
