The company has filed a patent with the US patent and Trademark Officer to bring an all-glass iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac Pro. The illustration of the glass-made Apple products shows the displays on both sides and functional touchscreen buttons on the edges.
Apple to Bring All-Glass iPhone, Apple Watch, & Mac Pro Tower
Patently Apple spotted the patent filed by Apple, which shows a gadget covered with glass from six sides. It shows the interior volume and a first glass member and a second glass member. The patent is written in a technical language, but the center of that can be a glass box with iPhone features. According to the Apple Patent, “The first glass member defines at least a portion of a first major side of the six-sided glass enclosure, at least a portion of a peripheral side of the six-sided glass enclosure, a first region along the peripheral side and having a first thickness, and a second region along the peripheral side and having a second thickness different from the first thickness.” The all-glass iPhone might come with a force-sensing system that can be a way to find out deformation in glass regions. All six sides of the device will be transparent, and it may use a single slab of glass or multiple glass slabs that are attached together and forms a working unit. As the surface may have different physical distinctions, it may use an enclosure to erase and blend the distinctions between the surfaces. To give a larger functional area, the front or the backside could extend to the next side. Similar to the all-glass iPhone, Apple might also bring an all-glass Apple Watch and Mac Pro tower. The working mechanism and the label parts are not yet available.
