Apple’s next flagship phones may get curved screens and a smaller Dynamic Island, according to a new leak. The rumor comes from leaker Digital Chat Station, who posted display specs for the iPhone 20 Pro and Pro Max. The numbers suggest a modest but meaningful upgrade over this year’s models.
The Specs at a Glance
The leak says the iPhone 20 Pro will have a 6.41-inch display with a 2,686 × 1,236 resolution. The Pro Max pushes to 6.96 inches with a 2,912 × 1,340 resolution. For comparison, the iPhone 18 Pro is 6.27 inches with 2,622 x 1,206, while the 18 Pro Max is 6.86 inches with 2,868 x 1,320.
The increase is not huge in raw numbers, but it is a change. Apple has kept the same display sizes since 2024, and these new figures break that pattern. The resolution gains also suggest a sharper picture on both models.
What Ice Universe Added
The leak’s more exciting detail comes from another leaker, Ice Universe. He reported that Apple is testing a bezel-less quad-curved display design, along with a smaller display cutout that could shrink the Dynamic Island further.
That lines up with previous reporting about borderless all-screen glass displays. Instead of a hard bezel around the screen, the design would curve on all four sides. It is a bold direction for a company that has been steady on the iPhone’s look for years.
The leak also suggests the under-display selfie camera seen in the new iPhone Duo could come to the iPhone 20. That would allow for a smaller Dynamic Island, since the front-facing camera would not need a visible cutout anymore.
What Apple Has Tested Before
The curved design is not new to the rumor mill. Previous reporting has suggested Apple has been working on borderless displays for its flagship phones. Whether the company ships them is a different question.
The leak describes a specific design Apple is reportedly evaluating, not a finished product. The smaller cutout for the Dynamic Island is a concrete detail, and it fits with the trend of reducing visible hardware on the screen.
The iPhone Duo already uses an under-display camera. Extending that to the mainstream Pro line would be a meaningful shift in how Apple handles the front-facing camera.
The Verdict on the Leak
This is the part worth watching. The display sizes and resolutions are specific and measurable, and they point to a real upgrade for next year’s models. The curved design and smaller Dynamic Island, however, are much more speculative.
The leak is a reminder that the iPhone 20 is coming, and it may bring a real change to the screen. The question is whether Apple ships the design it is testing.
