<p>Earlier this year, rumors started circulating (http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/17/kgi-apple-to-drop-aluminum-iphone-casing-in-2017-in-favor-of-new-all-glass-enclosure-with-amoled-screen/) that Apple would switch to a glass design for the 2017 (http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/26/apple-iphone-amoled-wireless-charging/) iPhone lineup, somewhat reminiscent of that of the iPhone 4. Now Carter Technology chief executive Allen Horng says that only one model of the 2017 iPhone lineup will adopt that glass design. Carter Technology is a key iPhone casing supplier.</p>
