I would love this design and it would definitely get me to upgrade. Touch ID under the screen I don’t really care about since Face ID works great for me, nor do I think Apple would go back to abandoned tech. But everything else looks awesome


 
If they add an Apple Watch screen camera to the back like that it’ll be the worst iPhone design ever.
 
Yeah not a big fan of the huge square camera module design either, but it looks like that’s what apple might be heading towards.
 
Apart from the carbuncle on the back I won't be surprised if that's how the design looks, following on from those new iPad Pros.
 
Undoubtedly, the triple lens camera is coming. That’s been a rumored for well over a year now, The main advantage being with the camera’s separated the way they are based off these render concepts, is it allows for a greater field of depth, and for virtual rendering will be much more detailed.
 
USB C won't happen. Touch ID won't happen. No way they would change the silent switch like this on the iPhone. They certainly won't add text to the back camera lens. It won't be a rectangular design. Also missing a microphone grill on the bottom.

Only thing I think will happen is the smaller notch with the earpiece pushed up.


People put so much work into these concept renders without researching Apple's style.
 
Whatever happens, if they don't do something to match that 50x zoom that Huawei has, it's game over.
 
Apple has Face ID with dot projector not simple optical face detection and it wasn't game over for Huawei either.

I’m not a big fan of that concept. I like the thinner bezels all around the display but prefer the curved frame we currently have.
