Apple preparing new all-glass iPhone for 2017 event

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, at KGI Securities, issued a note over the weekend with new details about upcoming iPhones based on his typically accurate sources in the Asian supply chain, Tech Insider reports.

He believes, according to reports, that the 2017 iPhone will get a major redesign, with a new casing that's made out of glass instead of the aluminum that the iPhone SE and iPhone 6S are constructed out of. The prediction matches up with his previous reports.

The 2017 iPhone is also reported to be gaining an AMOLED screen, which is a type of screen technology that allows for deeper blacks and better color.
