The specs have been updated.

Battery life: 3 minutes.

So very obviously a fan concept.

Looks sexy though...

It's only a concept that someone has made up - it's lacks any thought about the practicality e.g. battery life, component space, headphone jack...

Physically impossible with current technology.

It could maybe make a cool iPod touch but not an iPhone. They could call it something along the lines of "iPod Touch Lite"

See where iPhone vs Touch are - Touch is always going to be slightly thinner i'd say, as it doesn't need the phone components. Apple could go spartan with the phone, but there is a lower limit on size of touchscreen.

The battery life would be terrible, the battery would have to be in the centre of the case and be tiny

Well we've gotta put hardware in there... And the iphone battery not being the greatest as it is now, they cant make the battery smaller.

Pretty much sums it up.

With that design, you can have either no internal storage and phone capabilities, or no phone capabilities and internal storage.

But with either one, you can't have an internal battery, so it has to run off of wireless power.

Even the furthest advancements in this have only achieved about three feet of range, so you're not going anywhere with this iPhone.
