Rumor: iPhone 7s may be thicker due to glass back replacing aluminum

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/iphone-7s-8-glass-backs.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1536&h=768)</div><p>Apple is expected to introduce three new iPhones as soon as September: 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch LCD models we call iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-7s/), and a 5.8-inch OLED model we call iPhone 8 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-8/). While the iPhone 8 will feature an all-new bezel-less design (https://9to5mac.com/2017/07/30/iphone-8-design-and-face-unlock-homepod-code/), the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus are expected to look much like the current flagship iPhones.</p>
<p>One change for the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones expected next month is a material return from aluminum backs to glass (https://9to5mac.com/2016/03/26/apple-iphone-amoled-wireless-charging/), and now a new rumor claims that shift will result in a slightly thicker casing.</p>
