conclusion

Expensive iPhone models already have a glass back. However, this is not designed as a touch screen. If Apple implements the patent right, the frame elements will also have to be made of glass. Current smartphone glasses are very stable and shatter-resistant, but they can still shatter if dropped. So here Apple has to use more stable glass. Otherwise, the approach looks exciting. However, it is not entirely new. So Xiaomi has Mi Max
It has already introduced a smartphone that consists almost entirely of touch surfaces. The cost of the limited model is 2,600 euros.
