| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Tuesday, April 28, 26. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.9 | We are sponsored this week by Bitwarden. |
| 0:13.4 | Leading off today, this fall's iPhone 18 lineup is less than half a year away, but next year is rumored to bring a radical new 20th anniversary iPhone model. |
| 0:23.8 | New leaks over the last week have shed additional detail on what to expect from this phone. |
| 0:29.5 | The iPhone 20 has been described as being the closest Apple has gotten to Johnny Ives' dream of the iPhone being a single slab of glass. This week's rumor says |
| 0:40.0 | that Apple is working with its display partner, Samsung, to produce a display that has a four-sided |
| 0:46.0 | subtle micro curve, as well as a display without a polarizer. We've heard before that the iPhone |
| 0:53.1 | will have this quad-cur curve design, so curves on all |
| 0:56.8 | edges of the device, but this new micro curve detail refers to how far the curve extends over the |
| 1:03.4 | edge of the phone. With a micro curve, it should only slightly curve around each edge, thus giving |
| 1:10.1 | the appearance of being bezel-free |
| 1:12.3 | without the trouble of accidental input when you're holding the phone. Meanwhile, removing the |
| 1:18.3 | polarizer layer from the display is expected to help in a number of ways, including brightness, |
| 1:24.1 | allowing for higher peak brightness, reducing the thickness of the display, and improving |
| 1:29.6 | efficiency of the display. Again, this so-called iPhone 20 is expected next year, so we're still |
| 1:36.8 | well over a year away, and that's plenty of time for rumors to change. We're sponsored this week |
| 1:42.9 | by Bitwarden. |
| 1:48.3 | You can get started with the powerful Bitwarden password manager right now, |
| 1:54.9 | including a free plan with unlimited passwords by hitting the link in the show notes or visiting bitwarden.com. |
