Apple has doubled down on exploring bonded all glass tough bodies for iPhones and iPads, according to its latest patents.

The list includes patents for a “chemically strengthened and textured glass member” with four layers with the first two being rough in texture. It suggests Apple is exploring all glass bodies for future iPhones and iPads with rough texture on the back so that they don’t slip out of your hands. However abrasive and textured glass bodies are only the tip of the iceberg in the current cache of new patents which also cover virtual and augmented reality, and the connected car.
