One of the things I've always hated about the iphone (and the 2. gen touch) is the silver trimming - and I'm glad it looks like it will be gone cause I'm expecting to buy my first iphone when the new one is available...I actually don't care for the look of the iphone at all when I think about it, but some small changes might do the trick for me
Interesting Design for the Future
You know what would be interesting for them to do in later designs would be to put the button on the back (i.e. where the black rubber-ish part is on the first generation iPhones) and then leave the entire front (they would somehow have to cover the speaker, but no worries about the ability to do that) as a screen. Of course, they'd probably have to put a bezel in order for fingers that would be holding the device to not interfere with normal functions, but it'd be a cool step forward.

If this is how it's gonna look, then there is NO doubt in my mind that I will get it. I mean, on my wishlist, everything I have is coming true with the exception of video chat and flash for websites, now this very slim design rendition? Please let this be true, Jebus, please!
With the speaker moving up, I think it is more likely that the screen will stay the same, and the whole device might get a bit shorter.
Still not convinced this part is real. It's not like Apple to put a seam in the outside edge like that.
Oh and the stupid artist put the camera-shutter button on the wrong side.
Oh, that'd be me.

I like my chrome edge! But this isn't bad either. Especially if it makes room for video calls!
Nice Photoshop work too
I had not understood what iLounge meant about the earpiece before.
(EDIT: I'm sure there's another thread on this very question, but I've only read this one... how would the volume/mute controls fit into that bezel? It looks (in the original pic) like there's no room for them. And the round hole is odd. Some random iPhone knock-off instead?)

Why not post it? On an otherwise slow day in Apple news, I welcome anything interesting, real or not.
There is so much wrong with what you just said...
Remove WHAT button? There's only 2 buttons on the damn thing already! how could we do with any less?!
And the iPhone ALREADY IS UNIBODY geez people! It's machined out of a single piece of plastic. (if you meant 'aluminum' then clarify)
And the device is not 'mechanical' at all, there's no moving parts. Perhaps from a 'structural' standpoint but it's a phone, why would that matter at all!
So far so Good
Personally i prefer the Chrome ring, but I'm loving the moved speaker, it should be much more comfortable and better sound because it's wider, I know from about an hour on the phone with my boyfriend, it has to be placed in the perfect spot to hear anything. And I'm not getting my hopes up, but.. a front isight cam would be AWESOME!
