An all-glass iPhone and Apple Watch would be ideal for those that want elegance and sophistication on a device, but not so much for the regular joe that is clumsy and would be dropping the phone at a regular rate.

Apple iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 Leaks

Apple's iPhones are not getting it anymore, and leaks are now suggesting that a major redesign and changes will be brought for the next smartphone release of the massive tech company. A reputable leaker, Ming-Chi Kuo, has claimed that by 2022, Apple will be debuting the iPhone that would have anin-screen fingerprint reader.

If followed by the count, the next iPhone of 2022 would be theiPhone 14, and the next smartwatch of the company would be theApple Watch Series 8. The iPhone venture has had a semi-glass finish on its body, while the Apple Watch's glass has been a part of its screen only. However, there has been no instance that the smartphone and watch would both be having an all-glass body apart from this.

There have been not many attempts on an all-glass body of a smartphone or watch, and it may be because of the impending issue of dropping the device and having it broken from the inside out. And while glass now has massively improved its integrity, it would still be not as durable as the previous mix of metals and glass to cover the Apple devices.
