New iPhone Concept Looks Stunning

That looks awesome!
Er, the majority of it. No on that home button and the removable battery cover.
Apple wouldn't go for a removable battery.

Can you explain to me why having a removable battery isn't a good idea?

I know Apple won't do it, but I think it is a great idea. Improving battery life AND giving me the option to carry around one or two extras 'just in case' is awesome.

What? It won't "improve battery" life. It will make it worse. That's the downside to a removable battery: A smaller battery.

So you won't have the "option" of carrying a second battery. No, it will be a necessity.

Right now I have the option of getting an external battery pack. I don't really need one and I haven't bought one. But it's there if I need it.

But if you make the battery life worse (which a removable battery will accomplish) then I'd HAVE to buy a 2nd battery. (And keep track of it all the time.) So really, you're forcing me to spend more money in this situation.

So it's worse in most situations and only better in a few situations. (Long flights.) And guess what? You can buy an external battery now for those situations! So really it's worse in some situations and 'the same' in other situations.

How is that an improvement?

If the battery was removable, it would last even less
 
Ti and OLED? So it's going to cost $1000 and not get any reception? That sounds like something Apple might actually do these days. ;)

Have you ever been to 4chan? I LEIK MEH MUDKIPZ!! lOLROLF.

Also that iPhone would be hot. But what's this problem people are having with the headphone jack? It's standard 3.5mm right? So far I haven't found anything I can't use it with.
 
Nice! I really hope there will be an OLED display, dual speakers, and most of all, a messaging light. I envy the messaging light on my dad's BB Curve 8310 SO MUCH!!! :(

i imagine that having a removable battery would require a design(the grooves that allow a battery cover to fit) that would compromise using all the internal space that makes certain hardware upgrades possible.
* memory, core duo, gps, video?, bigger battery.

just a guess from a non tech. it is very possible that to have made the 3g more slim than the 1st gen that these criteria were considered.
and most phones with a removable battery are usually thicker than apple would like.
 
I hate the look of the camera on that thing. Looks like its one of those baby cameras and please add flash.

ME LIKEY!!!!!!!!!! This mockup especially amazes me because it includes all of the details I liked about the Moto Q minus the whole WinMo and Motorala thing. :D


This with a 4" screen and WAYY better resolution, 1GHz processor, and more RAM, and I'm sold.
 
I really like it. I can't wait until June to see the real real design, but that iPhone looks great.

I like the thoughts going on here, but let me go through the things that just have no chance of happening and hopefully someone re-shop this thing up.

1) Apple would never put rigid edges on the iPhone, it's great how it is now and that would make it painful and annoying to hold/play games on.

2) As Skil said, no removable battery door. I know everyone wants it, but why? They'll improve the battery life and that's it.

3) Messagening light.... I'm sorry, they simply won't copy BB, it just would look bad to company watchers. Steve does not want to be considered a follower.

4) The grip on the sides. Nice idea and I think Apple will do something to create better grip on the sides, but not that.

5) Microphone that is visible.... Why? They have successfully made the microphone, essentially disappear, just to bring it back? This translate to NO two speakers.

6) No square home button.... Really?!? That must have been a quick mock up of the home button cuz thats never happening.

7) The iSight camera will not look so awkward and jammed in. Too much of a repair risk and the screen is just pushing the limits. I think Apple will find a way to put the camera in a discrete location.... (perhaps behind the screen or using sensors in the screen as shown in patents).

Those are my thoughts, hopefully the original artist can rework it and make it look a little more realistic.
