iPhone 20 Pro Leak Points to Larger Displays and a Possible All-Screen Redesign

The reported screen changes for the iPhone 20 Pro look incremental on paper. The more consequential possibility is a redesign that reduces the visible borders and shrinks the display cutout. Both ideas are still based on leaks, so the dimensions offer a clearer point of comparison than the design speculation.

Apple has only just launched the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 line, but rumors have already turned to the next generation. The expected name is iPhone 20, with no iPhone 19 in between. The source ties that naming choice to 2027, the iPhone’s 20th anniversary.

Leaker Digital Chat Station has shared alleged display dimensions and resolutions for two iPhone 20 Pro models. The figures point to a small increase in both screen size and pixel count compared with the current Pro phones:

• iPhone 20 Pro: 6.41-inch display at 2,686 × 1,236 pixels

• iPhone 20 Pro Max: 6.96-inch display at 2,912 × 1,340 pixels

For comparison, the iPhone 18 Pro is listed with a 6.27-inch panel at 2,622 × 1,206 pixels, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max has a 6.86-inch display at 2,868 × 1,320 pixels. The leak therefore suggests an increase of 0.14 inches for the Pro and 0.10 inches for the Pro Max. Each panel would also gain 64 pixels across and 30 pixels vertically.

Those are measurable changes, but they don't by themselves indicate a major shift in how the phones look or feel. Screen size is only one part of the experience: the dimensions of the device, the shape of the display edges, and the space taken up by borders and cutouts all affect how much screen users see. The numbers shared so far don't establish whether the phones will be physically larger, whether the display will occupy more of the front, or how the panels will behave at their edges.

The design rumor could matter more than the extra pixels

A separate leak from Ice Universe describes Apple testing a “bezel-less quad-curved display design” and a smaller cutout that could further reduce the Dynamic Island. The claim fits with earlier reporting about a borderless, all-screen iPhone 20 design, but it doesn't confirm that Apple will ship one.

A panel curved on all four sides would change the boundary between the display and the phone’s frame. That could make the front appear less constrained by a conventional border, though the leak doesn't explain how the curved edges would affect grip, accidental touches, reflections, or screen protection. Those details would matter to anyone weighing a cleaner front against the practical costs of a more unusual panel shape.

The smaller cutout would address a different visible interruption. Ice Universe’s report says the Dynamic Island could shrink; the source also raises an under-display selfie camera as a possibility, pointing to the camera used in the new iPhone Duo. That is a proposed route to a less prominent opening, not confirmation that the iPhone 20 Pro will use the same approach. The available information doesn't say which components would sit beneath the display or how image quality would compare.

What the leak does and doesn't tell buyers

For people considering an iPhone 18 Pro, these rumors aren't a reliable reason to postpone a purchase. The alleged iPhone 20 specifications are early, and the larger diagonal measurements don't reveal enough about the final design, overall phone size, or everyday usability. Anyone choosing between current models can compare their confirmed screen dimensions; anyone planning around the next generation should treat the new figures as provisional.

For engineers and product teams, the design claims raise more useful questions than the modest resolution bump. A curved panel and smaller cutout could require changes to the display stack and front-facing components, while creating tradeoffs for touch behavior and protective accessories. The leak provides no engineering details to assess those costs, so they remain questions to watch rather than established shortcomings.

My read is that the size figures describe a gradual update, while the reported edge-to-edge treatment would represent the more visible change if it reaches a shipping product. The next meaningful evidence will be clearer information about the display’s shape, the cutout, and whether an under-display camera is actually part of the design.
