Leaked Details Hint at Slightly Larger, Quad-Curved Displays for the iPhone 20 Pro Lineup

New Display Sizes and Resolutions
Digital Chat Station, a prolific Chinese leaker, reports that the upcoming iPhone 20 Pro will feature a 6.41-inch screen with an approximate resolution of 2,686 × 1,236 pixels, while the iPhone 20 Pro Max is said to have a 6.96-inch panel at roughly 2,912 × 1,340 pixels. For comparison, the current iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max measure 6.27 inches (rounded to 6.3) and 6.86 inches (rounded to 6.9) with resolutions of 2,622 × 1,206 and 2,868 × 1,320 respectively. The modest increase would keep pixel density near the existing 460 ppi.
Quad-Curved “Borderless” Design and Front-Camera Considerations
The same leak describes Apple’s testing of a “borderless quad-curved” display, where glass curves away on all four sides, reducing bezel thickness and blending the glass deeper into the metal frame. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is quoted as noting that an earlier, more glass-heavy design was scrapped, suggesting Apple is still refining the aesthetic.
Digital Chat Station also says Apple is evaluating a smaller Dynamic Island-style hole-punch for the iPhone 20 Pro models, similar to the cutout used on the iPhone 18 Pro. The under-display FaceTime camera introduced on the iPhone Duo has shown poor photo and video quality, leading analysts to predict that a front-camera cutout may remain necessary for the 20 Pro devices.
