The Story in Brief
Apple is reportedly pressing ahead with a glass-centric design overhaul for its 20th anniversary iPhone Pro models, according to a Bloomberg report citing people with knowledge of the matter. The redesign, internally codenamed V73 and V74, is expected to feature glass on the front and back, possibly extending into the sides with a metal band in the middle. This contradicts an earlier claim by Jefferies analyst Edison Lee that the all-glass project had been cancelled based on supplier checks.
The Cupertino-based company had earlier explored an even more glass-heavy version, but dropped it due to manufacturing challenges in connecting glass panels at high volumes. Apple typically finalises major iPhone designs about a year before launch, so its 2027 plans are already in advance testing, though they could change if technical or production problems arise. Separately, Apple is expected to launch a foldable iPhone next month.
The Indian Opinion
The back-and-forth over Apple's glass iPhone shows how quickly rumour becomes certainty. One analyst's supplier checks sparked headlines of cancellation, now Bloomberg says the project is alive. Ordinary readers should treat both claims as speculation until Apple shows its hand. The real test will come next year when components leak or the design is locked. Watch for reports from Asian supply chain media, which often get details right earlier than US-based analysts. Until then, neither cancellation nor glass revolution is a fact.
