Apple’s 20th-Anniversary iPhone Just Survived a Cancellation Scare
People familiar with the plans said Apple still expects 2027 iPhone Pro models to use a new glassy design after an earlier version stalled in testing.
- Apple Inc. is proceeding with a glass-centric redesign for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027, countering a recent analyst report claiming the project was canceled due to production challenges.
- Jefferies analyst Edison Lee previously suggested the all-glass device was halted because of "poor production yield," also downgrading Apple shares over concerns regarding higher-priced smartphone offerings.
- Known internally as V73 and V74, the upcoming Pro models will feature glass on the front and back, curving into the sides with a metal band in advanced testing and mostly locked in.
- The iPhone remains Apple's primary revenue driver, with sales climbing 22 per cent last quarter, while Barron reported the anticipated 2027 device could cost $2,060.
- Incoming CEO John Ternus oversees a massive pipeline including AI-centric wearables, smart glasses, and camera-equipped AirPods, with these products expected to provide momentum starting Sept 1.
