This year, all of Apple's operating system version numbers are skipping straight to 26 to standardize and reduce confusion. The next thing that will be skipped is the name of the iPhone that will be launched in 2027. It should have used the name iPhone 19 but according to a report by Etnews, Apple will skip straight to iPhone 20.
This is because in 2027, the iPhone will celebrate its 20th anniversary. In celebration of this significant anniversary, the device's name will be aligned with its age. This is not a strange move because Samsung has been standardizing the Galaxy S series numbers in line with the year it was launched since 2020. Xiaomi has also done the same but only according to the iPhone version numbers.
There have been many rumors about the iPhone 20, such as it will be offered without any charging port and only supports MagSafe. There are also rumors that the first foldable iPhone will also be launched in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
