Apple expected to use glass chassis for next-generation 5.8-inch iPhone; aluminum-alloy chassis for 4.7-inch

Apple is expected to release three next-generation iPhones for 2017, a 4.7-inch, 5.5-inch and 5.8-inch model. The 5.8-inch model is expected to be a high-end product adopting a chassis made of reinforced glass with a stainless steel metal frame, while the 4.7-inch one will continue using an aluminum-alloy chassis, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. The design for the 5.5-inch model's chassis has yet to be confirmed.
