Based on the patent it will be multisided glass construction, the touch screen will be on all sides of the glass as will the display. Apple will use a new force touch system (3D touch 2.0?) to register actions . The exterior glass surface can have specific input regions with a different surface texture than the surrounding area. There will be small openings on top for speakers and mic.

They can’t even put Face ID under the glass yet they want an all glass iPhone…..I predict in 2045 this may appear
 
So we would finally get phones with rounded sides again? How would you use this thing with a case? LOL
 
To be clear, this is an application for a patent. It is not yet granted.
