What I think the new iPhone should look like.

Meanwhile, Apple puts out a stretched iPhone 4 and laughs all the way to the bank. Minimal investment - maximum return. Gotta admire that from a business stand point.

Anything is better than the "long phone". 16:9 on a smartphone SUCKS

16:9 wouldn't be bad if they increased the width as well.

Yup, the Galaxy S3 is 16:9 and it looks great because it does not have as much wasted space above and below the screen... And because it has a 4.8" screen.

16:9 will look bad on the iPhone Because it has a lot of unused surface area on the front face of the phone... Making it extra long.



This would make an awesome iPhone IMO.

nice concept, really cool, the samsung should copy this model and call it a day......lol, but wait, samsung can't even copy it right.....

samsung = new microsoft < apple

This design would get me as exited as the 4 did when it first came out.

I have a feeling apple sensed the dissapointment from everybody when they brought out the 4s, and not a 5, so I have a little glimmer of hope something different will come out this time.

I just gotta think positive.

Don't like the volume buttons but the rest of it is absolutely gorgeous. Wish the next iPhone had a wider screen.

I found the rest of the renders from this Designer: Michal Bonikowski

wow that looks unbelievable

Just a guess, but I think that the new 19 pin connector could be magnetic, sort of like a MagSafe

Stunning looking phone. I love it.

design without learning engineering is useless. put all aluminium on the back makes it cooler than two toned design that apple probably use, but how does the signal penetrate the aluminium?

all the internet mock up is useless because it's built by only cool factor, not by real world issue that might comes up with the design itself.

that looks really nice. The other long one in the news looks like dog *****.

if apple made this there sales would be record breaking but if they do this it has to be cheap so everyone can get it.

the thing is...those are mock ups and not in any way, shape, or form real.

Gee is that what he meant by renderings?

I doubt Apple would put another logo at the front. Just a slab of screen would be perfect though.

That is beautiful!

Now we're all going to be disappointed when we get the elongated iPhone

Now thats what I call an iPhone! This looks actually mostly realistic and down Apple's path. I like the Apple logo as the home button, it connect the phone to the apple logo so much more. Definitely a sleeker and cooler design than what we are expecting.

I know what you are saying... In the renderings I posted, the guy included the iPhone 4/4S side bezel, and a small portion of at the top of the phone is black like the 3G/LTE iPads. Whether that is a big enough opening for good signal, I do not know. So he at least did his homework before putting his design together.

Interesting design... It looks like the logo on the front would be used as a home button. I wish Apple could ditch the mechanical home button, perhaps using a touch-sensitive circuit that is completed when the user bridges the gap between the apple and its stalk with their finger (although gloves would be an issue).

EDIT: Just noticed the designer suggests moving the home button to the left edge of the phone, which might not work well depending if you are left- or right-handed.

A little too big of a screen for my interest otherwise the design looks great! I'd love to see a new home button and all that.

Now that's a new phone!!!! Disgusted how similar this new phone is to the current!!!
