to me, the 'screen' on the edges are just totally wasted space.
I'd rather a bezel to wrap my fingers around.
Never did understand the hype on Edge phones

Never did understand the hype on Edge phones
Thank you x1000 for not posting that god-awful, hideous, overused mockup with the hole-punched screen that's been circulating since the iPhone 7 rumors started. It's about time you guys posted some decent looking ones, even if they'd never happen.
The first video concept - I saw the "embossed" glass home button and I think this will be the most accurate one.
No worries love. Gotcha covered. Simply plug the headphone below into same port as power cord.
/waits on someone to complain about listening and charging at the same time.
7s and one more thing...Tim needs something that looks different this year and that something would be perfect for his upselling fantasies.
Sorry, but what's the point in edge2edge designs when 99% of iPhone users wrap their fragile iDevices in some type of silicon/leather sock?
It was based on rumors. Not a big fan of edge-to-edge like the Samsung Edge myself but love the idea of a complete black OLED iPhone and a seamless display Phone designed by Apple.
The pessimist side of me agrees with you - but I sure wish Apple would rip off the bandage and ditch this proprietary BS once and for all. Too bad it doesn't benefit them.
There's a very good reason for that - none of these people that do mock ups work for Apple.
That means anybody that does a mock-up is exploring their own wants and desires and not: (a) doing any kind of market research or customer testing, (b) considering directions Apple wants their product catagoies to go in (Apple design branding), (c) worrying about engineering in the least, (d) in general not thinking about anything other than their dream concept and thinking they're showing off their Industrial Design "skills".
I remember that one floating around. I never understood why it was even thought of as a good idea; it's top heavy, it'd fall out of your hands easily.I dunno - I think 2011 with the iPhone 5 tear drop rumours takes the cake (when we ended up with the 4S).
Somehow I have a strange feeling the same thing is going to happen this year.
I think mockups are kind of pointless, because most people that make them don't think through the engineering or the usability of the designs they make. Most of these likely wouldn't be very ergonomic or usable for any long period of time. That's kind of important when you use your phone hundreds of times a day for more than a year.
haha! The only thing I like here is the background -- could you share that by the way?I've never understood the fascination with mockups. It's easy to mock something up when you don't have to engineer the darn thing. And it seems whenever a mockup gets posted everyone goes crazy over it even when it's crap, like this:
You don't need to feel the home button. Just put your thumb on the bottom middle of the display.
I like the last one the best....I don't see how they would have a screen on each side of the phone? That would mean either looking through a clear cover or scratching up a viewing screen every time you set it down...just not practical. I dedicate my right front pants pocket to my iPhone so the plus size has always been too big. If I want a bigger screen I grab my iPad. But because of less bezel and more screen they can fit a plus size screen on a regular size (read iPhone 7) then that would be the Ferrari to me! I'll even take one in Red!
Not sure about this specific wallpaper, but if you Google star trails, that should get you on the right track.
we got pretty close to that one with the 5C!Some of those look decent. I still want one of these from the concept realm to come true.
Other than they used a black bezel...not a white one (which I would have preferred)
Cough*iphone SE*cough
Ummmm, yeeeeaaaah... if we could get the next one to feel better in the hand and not like a slippery wet bar of soap... yeaaaaah, that'd be greeaaaat. Mmmmkay.
Problem is that most mock-ups are not even realistic that one could say you know what that is possible, it just so out to lunch that one wonders if some substance was involved.
No one is saying that a mock-up will be spot on with a released product, however envision something conceivable to reality. It would be similar to me designing an iPhone the thickness of a sheet of paper, with present day technology where is the battery and components, completely unrealistic. If an artist is not going to be even remotely realistic why bother with unrealistic concepts.
