How do you know what Steve had decided laid out before he died? He had plans for numerous years after the iPhone 4. Lots of people said the iPhone 4 that was lost in a bar wasn't Apple like. With the sharp edges and popping out glass sides with stainless middle. You can say it isn't what Steve would do but you really have no idea what he would do or what he had a say in well past his death.Congratulations Apple, you've now officially copied Samsung (IF this is accurate) As a user of iPhone since Day 1, I can safely say without a doubt now that Apple died with Steve Jobs. someone in here mentioned how the phones up till 2011 lacked features etc but were sexy as hell and yes, that is 100% accurate! Steve was an innovator and brilliant mind. These knuckleheads running the show are extremely overrated and have not produced anything that has wow factor in any way, shape or form. All we have to look forward to are the changes in iOS, that's it. Don't lie to yourselves folks, this is the truth. My 7 plus will last me a while and for the first time, I may not upgrade. For me, that's an unthinkable thing...
Stop the Steve this Steve that crap.

You can clearly see the gap with the side and the back meaning the back will be glass also. Watch the turning of the phone when it's laying on the front. You can see the edge around the bandSo most of the rumours seem to indicate that the iPhone 8 will have a glass front and back and a steel band around the edge (of similar construction to the iPhone 4/4S but with rounded edges).
I can't tell from the video whether the back in this dummy model is in fact glass or aluminium in Jet Black.
If it is glass, I think this will be close to, if not exactly, the design of the release.
Reason being that wireless charging is easier through glass.
