Outlook splits over Apple 20th anniversary iPhone \'all-glass\' design and possible launch next year

Market expectations are diverging again over whether Apple will apply an all-glass design to its 20th anniversary iPhone expected next year. A Jefferies analyst was reported as saying Apple has dropped the idea, while Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman rejected that. The debate ties to former Apple design chief Jony Ive’s long-held vision of an iPhone that is essentially a single sheet of glass, and to questions over timing, naming and how far Apple moves toward that goal.
