A Taiwanese iPhone parts supplier has predicted that an upcoming variant of Apple's handset will feature glass casings.
Catcher Technology CEO Allen Horng made the prediction at a shareholder meeting on Thursday, the Nikkei Asian Review reports. Though Catcher currently builds metal frames for iPhones, Horng said he does not expect such a move to impact his business, since an iPhone with a glass casing would still need a durable metal frame inside it.
The iPhone 4 and 4S, introduced in 2010 and 2011 respectively, both had glass backings while retaining metal frames. Apple returned to using metal backs in the iPhone 5 in 2012.
Though Apple has not said when it will introduce its next iPhone models, an iPhone 7(as it will presumably be called) should be due in September. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
