Remember the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha concept phone with a wrap-around display that extends all the way to the back of the smartphone? Well, it seems like Apple is planning something similar if a patent titled ‘Electronic Device with Glass Enclosure’ is to go by. The patent describes an all-glass iPhone which perhaps could be a better alternative to foldable phones.

Apple has envisioned a phone with glasses on all the six sides, out of which one of the portions will act as the primary display and will presumably be used as the main point of contact. All in all, the handset is expected to feature a seamless design, so that it will look like a single sheet of glass, even though it will be made of different pieces combined together. Such an iPhone will likely be bereft of physical buttons, and instead, the side and back displays will be touch and/or force sensitive.
