Seems like one of those ideas that looks good on paper till it's made, then whoops it's impractical. Not to be a naysayer, just an observation.

Have to say, I really enjoy the crazy element in all these crazy concepts. It reminds me of airliner concepts. There's a great deal of dr Seuss' world that seems to enter into these ideas. Bravo to all those creative thinkers!
Well, take your pick, no OLED, same price. OLED, higher price.
Personally I think we will see and OLED model. Whether it will be affordable and obtainable are different questions. May very will be a rare bird like a Frozen Black M4, but I think Apple has to come out an appreciably new phone this year other than another color. If not then they will look like they are out of ideas -- even copycat ones.
Personally those very large rounded bezels screams Apple, it's a soft look.
If Apple were to go all new, drastic, and a completely different direction, it would make everything ultra sharp on front, angular and rectangle, while curving everything from sides to the back.
It would be completely unlike Apple, but at the same time be entirely Apple.

Where are any of the front facing sensors? If rumors of a 3D face scanning feature is true, expect more sensors upfront.
Otherwise, very nice. I think there's potential in the function bar.

Is it me, or do the posters around here bitch a lot? Like "Emo stuck at a school pep rally" bitchiness? There's always room for realism, but most of these replies are "It's gonna be lame bro....spec upgrade" and baseless speculation. Newsflash: Spec upgrades are pretty damn fantastic IMO. Unless you're just buying these phones to show off....then you've got a much bigger problem to deal with.
I think what you meant to say, there is nothing here to see for you. Clearly you don't speak for the consensus. These renderings at least offer some type of detail of what we could expect, and let alone, it's fairly interesting to see where the iPhone could be headed. Wether you approve or not, it has nothing to do with a slow day at the office, is everything to do with rumors indicating what a purported iPhone could look like based off predictions.
I'm hoping it has the landscape apps and home screen of the "plus" iPhones. Why? I want a smaller phone for carrying around, but I mirror my phone to screens pretty often and portrait-only first party apps can be a pain.
Wow, I am impressed! I am loving those concepts pictures! We're getting to a point where it will be very hard to recommend a Samsung device over an iPhone. Once Apple updates the hardware this Fall, and hopefully add a few more features to iOS, Apple should be in a great position.
Except for all the screens that are no longer squares?
Newer technologies have unlocked the ability to custom design display shapes, including rounded corners, or even circular displays .
The sad thing is...for what I do my 4S has more functionality (e.g. headphone jack) than the new iPhones. The word innovation seems to have slipped from Apple's vocabulary. Probably removed because an employee was "triggered" by the word. We need Apple to hire more fat people on the MBP team so they get triggered by the word "thin".
I would say that more important than the bezels or glass back or oled or wireless charging or any of that is iOS 11. The iOS Springboard is tired. The OS as a whole functions well but the Springboard needs a massively radical overhaul. Grids of same sized icons and folders of grids of pages of icons is horrid. Leverage force touch and gestures to bring a completely rethought way to access apps and marry that to whatever exciting new hardware you have.
