Are you seriously making the distinction based on a plastic body vs glass body
That's just drawing an arbitrary line in the sand not based on technological innovation so you can day "apple wuz first"
These devices are defined by the amount of screen and the touch interaction combined with mobile connectivity, not by plastic vs glass body
Also, the iPhone 1 had an aluminum back, not glass so your point doesn't even make sense:
>"The iPhone's back cover is made out of brushed aluminum, a soft metal"

- netizen-936824 5y agoFrom my understanding "slab of glass" refers to the all-screen design. Not the material of the back cover
- moron4hire 5y agoThe original iPhone still had a front-surface, physical button
- netizen-936824 5y agoDidn't numerous iPhones have front home buttons until recently? But I think this helps my point, in that the iPhone was only a marginal improvement on already existing tech instead of the "first" to do whatever
