Artist Rendition of Next Gen iPhone with Leaked Black Bezel

Was about to post my idea of the side camera button but you beat me to it! :p

If you look at the bezel it has a cut out which is perect placement for a button to take photos. Check it out for yourself and hold up your iphone.

In this pic the bezel is mirrored so the button would be on the opposite side.

It better not look like that!!! That earpiece is the ugliest crap I have ever seen. :( (The rendering in the article)

There is absolutely no point in having a camera button if you have a camera on the front and back! :rolleyes:

I would MUCH rather have something beautiful like this!

Yep!. I flopped the bezel image to map it onto a regular iPhone image.

And that caused me to paint a button on the wrong side. I did point this out when I posted it.

Personally, I am still not convinced that Apple would release anything that looks like this.

How the new iPhone would look like according to some rumors.

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!

The 'home' button.

Yes, I meant aluminum. The new MB and MBP aren't unibody plastic are they? Is it 'machined' out of plastic or just molded and then outfitted with a chrome ring?

The button IS mechanical. You push the button and it activates a contact switch. If they replaced the 'mechanical' bits with something on the multitouch interface it would improve reliability, would it not?

Come on dude. How much better could I have said it to avoid you slamming my post? I did post in english, right?
 
Why waste battery power to have the Apple icon on the back glow? Is there such a surplus of battery life that they can blow some on such frivolity?

I'd think it rather pointless to incorporate that into a new phone, especially when it looks like the new Zune HD could really be successful in taking customers away. I'm sure that a glowing Apple on the back is going to keep defectors...

Not that I'm a fan of Microsoft but they do eventually get it and come up with a good product. Eventually. Well, then they blow it like they did with Vista. Gartner told people that haven't got Vista to ignore it... OUCH! That's got to hurt... :D:D:D:apple:!
 
nice mockups... I would like to point out though that the current bezel part is black as well. So concluding that the visible outer silver bezel will be black is somewhat random.

What people don't seem to realize is that this bezel part is not visible, since it is enclosed by the back shell of the iphone.

With the speaker moving up, does anyone think the screen size might just be a little bit bigger, and thus the design change?
Click to expand...

Good point, and something I have been hoping for all along. Hopefully the screen will be larger, run the entire face of the device, and the 'Home' button problem (problem being that something still needs to act as one) being a 'clickable' bottom half of the screen just like the trackpad on the unibody Macbooks and Macbook Pros. And man, I am relatively sure it will be, but I too am hoping for an OLED screen and a significant bump up in the resolution. Especially after Microsoft's Zune HD announcement, too. And while I am dreaming here, I might as well point out that I sent Apple a request for them to put an Infrared port on the top of the new iPhone, so then someone (like Logitech) can make a true 'remote control' App, but I doubt this will be applied. It would be pretty awesome, though, huh?

Hi Quickdraw,
I looked at teardown of a 3G phone - and there is an inner-bezel - but it does not have curved sides like this supposed leaked component.

That said, there's a few things about the "leaked image" that don't make sense.

But to make you happy here's a render of a "Shortphone" with a silver bezel.

Rethink your first assumptions

I posted this on the bezel discussion, too, however, I think it's fair to give people the opportunity to catch it here, in case they aren't following that thread.

I find it odd that the new bezel assumptions don't add up with the icons that were found the other day. In those icons, the earpiece is in the standard location of the current model phone. Now, I don't think this is inconsistency on Apple's part. I'd expect that the notch at the top isn't replacing the earpiece, but instead is a repositioning of the loudspeaker for speakerphone and watching videos. The downward-facing speaker kinda sucks, especially in areas with an above-average ambient noise level. Opinions?

Oh, and they could technically keep the downward facing speaker, also, and use the two speakers to broadcast stereo sound when the phone is in a horizontal orientation.

why is the bezel at the bottom incomplete? so if we are to complete it, there would be another smaller bezel to attach with it? or will the case originally bas the bottom part so that we can detach or reattach?

heres to compare

after seeing the high res pictures I take it back, that's clearly not the dock connector. in the low res photos it looked like it could have been the dock connector housing.
 
From looking at the leaked bezel, I've wondered why exactly it seems to "end" towards the bottom. It's extremely unlikely that Apple would have a seam in their bezel so it leads me to believe they've got something else planned. Going on Stezza's mockup (I love the Apple used as the flash), I just colored in the bottom part in about 30 seconds to show my idea.

I'm thinking an iMac-like look. And I apologize for the absolutely atrocious image, I just wanted the idea out there, I'll let someone else take care of the clean up. I still think this is possible, and I posted a mockup a long time ago that incorporated the unibody look.

Are you serious? A flip iPhone? Oh yeah, that would be awesome...:rolleyes:

Apple tries to do one thing and do it right. And whether they accomplish that is up to you. I actually don't know why I'm typing such a long response to you, given the ridiculous nature of your post, work must really be boring me...

Your at work, and checking out Macrumors. Ah, gotta love work, huh?

I have A LOT of down time at work. I tend to get things done earlier, so I have some spare time to check on the :apple:. I would be pretty bored without this site. And no, I didn't think your post was an insult.
