Summary
Apple is trialing a 6.96-inch display—marketable as 7 inches—that would be the largest screen ever tested for an iPhone and could arrive in 2027.
Supply-chain chatter cited by leaker Digital Chat Station points to a prototype rather than a confirmed product, and the display’s final use remains undecided.
The screen is only slightly larger than the 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max, but it fits reports that Apple is pushing toward a more seamless “single slab of glass” design.
That redesign has been tied to the iPhone’s 20th anniversary in 2027, when Apple could launch a special model or fold the changes into Pro and Pro Max phones.
