Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is pursuing Jony Ive's vision of an iPhone that looks like a single slab of glass. The company has filed a new patent describing a six-sided glass enclosure that displays content and can detect touch on all sides. While still far from production, the design aims for a seamless, bezel-free look. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest step toward that goal.
