JAKARTA An analyst stated that Apple will mark its 20th anniversary by launching the latest iPhone, the iPhone 20. This celebration shows that the phone will arrive early.

This prediction was conveyed by the Head of Researcher Omdia, Heo Moo-yeol, as reported by ET News, at a conference in Seoul. In addition to bringing the iPhone 20 earlier, Apple is expected to miss the naming of the iPhone 19.

This name transition is similar to the changes Apple made in 2017. After launching the iPhone 8, Apple did not present the iPhone number 9. The company actually launched the iPhone X, referring to the 10th number.

Furthermore, Heo Moo-yeol stated that Apple will divide its iPhone launch into two waves. He predicts that the iPhone 18e and iPhone 20 models will be launched simultaneously in the first half of 2027.

Next, Apple is expected to continue launching in the second half of the same year. This launch will include the second-generation iPhone Air, iPhone 20 Pro, iPhone 20 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold.

Sejumlah laporan juga memprediksi bahwa iPhone 20 akan mendapatkan banyak perubahan, termasuk pada chassis kaca. Beberapa paten Apple menginjukkan bahwa perangkat ini akan menjadi iPhone berkur pertama sejak 2020.

However, it should be noted that analysts Heo Moo-yeol and the Omdia institution do not have much track record in leaking Apple's plans. Omdia's prediction of Apple's OLED plan only applies to 2026 and beyond.

What's more, the launch time of the iPhone 20 faster than September feels unusual and less convincing. This is because the iPhone 19 Pro and iPhone Fold models are expected to launch just six months earlier.
