10th anniversary ‘iPhone 8’ concept brought to Life With curved Display, Ceramic Body, a lot more [Video]
It’s probably not unreasonable to suggest that the smartphone-loving world is starting to get a little ecstatic about what Apple could bring to the table with this year’s iPhone. Albeit slightly premature considering that the iphone 7 has only been with us for a matter of months, it’s hard not to be ecstatic about what Apple could potentially introduce based on early speculation.
However, we won’t know until we actually know, so until then, we can appease our curiosity and need for new toys with this sensational “10th anniversary iPhone” concept.
We don’t know if Apple will actually opt for the ‘iPhone 8’ naming convention with this year’s iPhone, and this particular concept has run exactly with that, suggesting that the hardware could be marketed and sold as the “10th anniversary iPhone”, making reference to the fact that it was ten years ago when the original iphone was introduced to the world by Steve Jobs.
The ConceptsiPhone team, which has created and published this mockup, is also seeking to the past in buy to complement future technology by using ceramic to manufacture the chassis.
The device itself is built around a 5.8-inch curved OLED display which stretches from edge-to-edge in a similar fashion to how Samsung’s Galaxy ‘Edge’ models are built. The screen isn’t as pronounced as Samsung’s, but still looks sensational embedded in the zircon ceramic outer shell. speaking of the body, the designer believes that choosing ceramic allows the device to be highly long lasting and lightweight, which allows for the transference of electronic waves between devices without any outside interference. The material is also heat-resistant which must hopefully remove any uncomfortable holding experiences during CPU intensive runs.
One of the main conversation points about Apple’s next-generation iphone is whether or not the company will do away with the conventional home / Touch ID button as we know it, and build a system that embeds the button and its Touch ID sensor into the display. Being a concept, the designer here doesn’t need to worry himself with technology and what is actually possible, or easy to achieve, and has as a result introduced a capacitive home button with integrated Touch ID. There’s also the smart Connector integration from iPad Pro, which allows wireless charging charging as well, or at least the impression of it when placed upon the concept smart Dock.
