iPhone 20 Pro Max leaks, may offer display as big as iPad mini

The iPhone 20 Pro series could bring its biggest design overhaul in years, with leaks pointing to a nearly 7-inch Pro Max display and an all-screen look. The premium models are also tipped to feature under-display Face ID, a new silicon battery, and a thinner design.The iPhone 20 Pro Max might come with a display as big as iPad mini (Render/Fpt)While we are just weeks away from the launch of the new-generation iPhone 18 Pro models, the leaks for next year's iPhones have already started coming in. Apple may be planning one of the biggest design changes in iPhone history for its 20th anniversary lineup. A fresh leak suggests the company is testing larger displays for its next-generation premium iPhones, with the top-end iPhone 20 Pro Max rumoured to feature a screen that is almost as large as an iPad mini.According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Apple is currently testing two new display sizes for its 2027 iPhone lineup. The leak claims the standard iPhone 20 Pro could get a 6.4-inch display, while the iPhone 20 Pro Max is being tested with a massive 7-inch panel. If the information turns out to be accurate, the iPhone 20 Pro Max would become Apple's biggest iPhone ever. While a 7-inch display is still smaller than the latest iPad mini's 8.3-inch screen, it would bring the phone much closer to tablet territory than any previous iPhone. While the large screen looks super cool and makes gaming as well as binge-watching a pleasing experience, it also makes it a little difficult to hold such a big phone.The leak suggests Apple isn't just making the screens larger. The company is also said to be working on a completely new borderless design with curves on all four sides of the display. Even though the physical screen size is expected to increase across the lineup, the aspect ratio is reportedly staying the same. This could result in a more immersive viewing experience, with thinner bezels helping the phones appear almost all-screen from the front.The rumour also lines up with earlier reports that Apple's anniversary iPhones could feature curved glass on all four edges, creating an edge-to-edge display effect unlike current iPhone models. The display bump for the regular Pro variant appears to be relatively minor. Apple's current iPhone 17 Pro uses a 6.3-inch display, and the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is also expected to keep the same screen size. If the latest leak is correct, the iPhone 20 Pro would grow slightly to 6.4 inches.Apple last increased the size of its Pro iPhones in 2024, when the iPhone 16 Pro moved from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the Pro Max expanded from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.More than just a bigger screen Previous reports have hinted that Apple is preparing several major upgrades for its 20th anniversary iPhones beyond the display. The devices are expected to feature under-display Face ID, allowing the facial recognition system to sit beneath the screen instead of inside the Dynamic Island.Other rumoured upgrades include a new custom Apple image sensor for the camera, haptic solid-state buttons, the next-generation A21 chip, higher-bandwidth memory, and a pure silicon battery that could improve battery life. Bloomberg had also reported recently that Apple has stepped up development of two different screen sizes for its anniversary iPhone models, adding more weight to the growing number of leaks.Separately, another leak shared by AppleTrack, citing Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, claims the 2027 iPhone models could be as thin as the iPhone Air. They are also said to bring back an all-glass design and include a larger internal vapour chamber to improve cooling during demanding tasks.As always, these details are based on leaks and early prototype information. Apple is unlikely to unveil its 20th anniversary iPhone lineup until 2027, so the final design and specifications could still change before launch.- EndsPublished By: Ankita GargPublished On: Aug 5, 2026 16:17 IST
