Rumor has it that the iPhone 8 is likely to come with a glass front and back and a metal frame, as Apple is looking into a design that reminds of the iPhone 4.
And judging from a recent patent, Apple might already have the glass body for the next iPhone, and it could even give up on metal entirely.

Discovered by CultofMac, the patent called “Glass enclosure” seems to define a completely new category of products, and not just the iPhone. The same “glass enclosure” could be used on iPhones, iPods, and iPads, as it allows different form factors, sizes, and shapes.

According to the patent, the technology that Apple developed is a “handheld computing device that includes an enclosure having structural walls formed from a glass material that can be radio-transparent. The enclosure can be formed from a hollow glass tube or two glass members bonded together. A laser frit bonding process may be used to hermetically seal the two glass members together to create a water resistant electronic device.”
