According to Apple's latest published patent, they are exploring an iPhone with a surround touch screen and all-glass, which can be used as a screen on any side to display information, application icons and images on it. Not only that, this phone supports touch sensitivity .

Specifically, the U.S. Patent No. 20200057525 for this patent is entitled "Electronic Equipment with Glass Enclosure". It describes a new iPhone, which consists of a "six-sided glass case", including a main screen and multiple sides seamlessly connected, which can display most of the control operations and applications.
The Apple patent does not describe a screen concept, but rather a shell that can be used as a screen. In this case, the glass enclosure may look seamless visually and tactilely, and the entire surrounding structure looks like a piece of glass.
The seamless glass case of this iPhone has other useful features. The patent reads: `` The glass case forms multiple side screens, which can facilitate or enable many additional features that are not possible with traditional phone cases. For example, the glass backplane and glass sides may be transparent, which allows electronic devices to get additional screens. In addition, the side and back visible screens can be touch or force sensitive through touch or force sensing systems, effectively converting the side and back into additional input devices or the surface with which the user can interact to control the electronic device . ''
If this idea can be realized, iPhone's mute switch and volume control can be turned into touch-sensitive control. Apple may use a force-sensing technology that lets users squeeze the iPhone, which then directs incoming calls to voicemail.
At the same time, Apple is also considering using the edge of the phone to display information, such as allowing users to switch flight modes or Wi-Fi connections with one click, and can also display the current weather and scrolling stock information. Apple has also been working on flexible components and possible folding screens.editor：iSimu used iPhones
