6 Things We Already Know About the 2028 iPhone
Apple’s upcoming 2028 iPhone is expected to refine the 2027 anniversary model’s four‑edge curved glass design with improved display technology. The device may feature a more transparent indium zinc oxide cathode, narrower bezels, and potentially a cut‑out‑free front using under‑display Face ID or a smaller hole‑punch. Additional rumored upgrades include a tandem OLED panel, a 1.4‑nanometer A22 Pro chip, and a 200‑megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
- ▪The 2028 model is rumored to replace the magnesium‑silver alloy cathode with indium zinc oxide to reduce distortion and heat at the curved edges.
- ▪A narrower bezel could bring the iPhone closer to a true all‑screen front, possibly eliminating the Dynamic Island cutout.
- ▪Apple may adopt tandem OLED technology, stacking two organic layers for higher brightness and better efficiency.
- ▪The high‑end 2028 iPhone could use a 1.4‑nanometer "A22 Pro" chip, offering up to 15% performance improvement or 30% lower power draw compared to the 2nm chip.
- ▪Prototypes have tested a 200‑megapixel periscope telephoto sensor, which could allow higher‑resolution photos and greater cropping flexibility.
