Apple plans near-borderless display for 2025 iPhone Pro anniversary models
Apple is reportedly retaining a four-sided curved display for its 20th-anniversary iPhone Pro line, while postponing the use of COE and LTPO+ display technologies due to cost and performance considerations.
Apple is expected to introduce a "near-borderless" design for its 20th-anniversary iPhone Pro models slated for release next year, according to a report by ETNews. The design would feature a four-sided bending display that curves around the device’s edges, creating a full-screen appearance.
The report notes that two advanced display technologies—Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE) and Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide Plus (LTPO+)—will not be included in the upcoming models. Sources attribute the postponement to higher memory prices and the company's search for solutions that surpass the current options.
"Apple is still expected to move forward with a four-sided bending display designed to create a near-borderless, full-screen appearance," the article cites ETNews writer Kim Yeong-ho.
Industry insiders say the decision does not significantly affect the overall user experience, as the primary focus remains the new curved display design.
