Sources indicate Apple is proceeding with a glass-centric design for its iPhone Pro models next year, countering earlier rumors of cancellation. The new design will feature glass on the front and back, curving into a metal band on the sides.
“The company expects to launch iPhone Pro models next year that will make use of a new glassy look, according to the people who asked not to be identified.”
“Glass is used on the front and back of the phones, known internally as V73 and V74, and the material will curve into the sides of the devices with a metal band in the middle.”
“Apple's product roadmap hasn't changed, according to one of the people, refuting a report this week from Jeffrey's Edison Lee.”
