All of this makes me think that Apple is close to introducing devices where the screen disappears seamlessly into the physical edge. Something where flexible OLED blurs the distinction between pixels and bezel. A new “wraparound” screen with safe area insets on the vertical edges of the device, just like we saw with the horizontal edges on iPhone X.

Then comes 2027, when Apple celebrates its smartphone’s 20th birthday with a curved-glass “iPhone 20.” This design will finally break from the squared-off slab we’ve lived with since 2020 and move to an approach with curved glass edges all around. It should fit nicely with the new Liquid Glass-based interface for iOS and other operating systems due to be released next month.

Maybe this will all make sense. I give Apple the benefit of the doubt when it comes to setting things in place for a strong ultimate reveal. However, I still don't understand why the Mac is going through gratuitous tactility when this happened.

Now I am just going to sit back and enjoy how this all unfolds.
