Gurman wrote in his newsletter, "Later in the year, a mostly glass, curved iPhone without any cutouts in the display is due to hit," quoted Daily Mail. He also mentioned, "That will mark the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone X, which kicked off the transition to all-screen, glass-focused iPhone designs," as quoted in the report.

At present, the back of smartphones is not utilized much, it just has a few components such as cameras and fingerprint readers, which occupy minimal space, according to Daily Mail. So, fitting the back of an iPhone with a glass display could potentially double the display size, without changing the shape or size of the device, reported Daily Mail.
Apple's Patent Hints at a 'Slab of Glass' Future
Although a predominantly glass phone may sound a little far-fetched, Apple has already filed a patent for an
all-glass smartphone
with a continuous display across the front, back and sides, as per the report.
