And here’s yet another design from Bob Freking, this time an iPad 3 imaginary product. We’re dealing here with a collection of pretty realistic specs and pretty much the same form factor as the previous iPad units, plus a Home button that seems tweaked and turned into a capacitive one, according to Bob, the creator of the concept.
The iPad 3 here uses an Apple A6 quad core processor, an 8 megapixel F2.4 camera and the appealing feature of the slate is actually the 9.7 inch Retina Display with 2304 x 3072 pixel resolution. 1GB of RAM is also included and a 2MP front HD camera as well, for Facetime use. I guess that this device will be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions and honestly speaking it’s not that far from what everyone expects the next iPad to be like. One thing’s for sure: everyone wants and imagines a better display and camera on the next Apple tablet.
Will we be disappointed and if so, what will be the biggest thing that Apple will forget to include on the new tablet?

Remember the Microsoft Surface technological table? This concept was forgotten a while ago, but some people are fond of it, like Adam Benton who created an equivalent in the Apple universe, the iDesk concept. Published on Maclife, this design features a huge chunk of touchscreen being used as a workaholic’s desk, with the ability to sync to all of the iDevices on the table.
This device is able to sync with any iOS gadget placed on it and it doesn’t even need a mouse, as the whole touch area is a giant trackpad. You can make calls, edit Office documents, view Adobe files and watch vides straight on the iDesk. This huge workspace also seems to project a virtual mouse and maybe keyboard too, unless you like the normal one. I guess you can also scan pictures with it and instantly post them online, if it’s not too much to ask. This desk could either have a Mac built in or connect to one that you already own.
All content is synced within iCloud and kept up to date with all your other devices. You can also move around the stuff you need, like on a real desk… For example, you can move the Facebook statuses aside, open a YouTube video, resize a picture, check an email and open a new document, all of that while drinking coffee. Would you buy such a device even if cost… let’s say $2000 or $3000?

Shaik Imaduddin just sent me an iPhone 5 concept that features a tiny round touchscreen for a Home button. This function is used particularly for notifications, with phone, messages, email and more being shown in that area. Swiping up from the Home button will launch the associated application and this touch area will show the weather or time while in sleep mode.
As far as the new iPhone design is concerned, it looks like an average rectangle to me, maybe with rounded bottom and top edges, but I can’t tell that from the angle these renders were done. Also, the bezel seems pretty thin, which is always a step forward towards achieving that rumored edge to edge display that everyone was raving about in 2011. As far as the touch home button is concerned, it would really be an useful feature, especially if you added some luminous pattern to it, triggered by the music from the iPod app.
It could also show the Apple logo lighting up when the handset starts, just like some people had the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone glowing at startup through customization. with some extra messing around, you could also implement sort of viewfinder function for this secondary touchscreen, to work with the camera… so much stuff you can do with it!

The same guy who created this beautiful iPhone 6 concept is back with an iPhone 5 design. Chris Youn, from Flushing, New York gives us a next generation Apple handset with a 3D Crystal touchscreen, a 16 megapixel camera and a faster Bluetooth technology on board. It also has a strong 2.6GHz processor and it can provide up to 24 hours of video playback.
This iPhone 5 concept guarantees up to 52 hours of audio playback , so it must have an impressive battery and I wonder how Apple managed to fit that in, but this is a mere design after all. The handset measures 0.38 inches in thickness and its volume buttons are very interesting and futuristic. Notice how the phone appears to get wider at the top and its slightly curved upper and lower edge. Somehow this reminds a bit of the Nokia X7, but with a more rounded approach.
I’m more interested in those cute speakers that are bundled with the phone here, since they look really nice… What do you say?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen an iPhone 6 concept here, so this one is welcome. Created by Chris Youn, the iPhone 6 design you see below is pretty impressive. We’re dealing with a 3D smartphone that uses a great display, a curved design and also supports eyepoint control, voice command and some sort of hologram graphics.
This iPhone 6 is based on 3D sound and 3D hologram interaction and it comes with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a curved one that enhances the features of all current screens. It makes the design slimmer and it makers the battery better, apparently. This device measures 8.49mm and it has a pretty good grip, according to its designer. What’s funny is that it also comes with a 3D TouchWiz UX, that Samsung would NEVER give to anyone, especially Apple.
The CPU inside is a dual core unit, with “lightning speed”, so I expect something around 2GHz here. So… are you ready for a 3D hologram phone with eye control, voice control and great battery life? Or is it too early?

Antonio De Rosa, the man behind ADR Studio shows us his newest iPhone concept, the iPhone SJ, a tribute to Steve Jobs. This beautiful device is a futuristic vision of the way an iPhone of the future could look like. The iPhone SJ packs a capacitive touchscreen made completely of glass and a polycarbonate body for a shell.
The result is a very light phone, that features an Apple A6 dual core processor and a 10 megapixel camera, speculated specs of this concept device. Using polycarbonate for the chassis worked fine for Nokia with the N9, so why not adopt this idea for the newest iPhone as well? As you can see here we’re dealing with an edge to edge screen that looks larger than 3.5 inches, so we may be dealing with that 4+ inch Retina Display we’ve all been craving for.
An elongated home button is also present, a sign that gestures are coming, possibly in iOS 6.0. The design of the iPhone SJ is very thin, maybe thinner than the iPhone 4S, so it may even reach 7mm through the technologic advances. For me, this design combines the look of the older iPhone 3G/3GS units with the iPhone 4/4S design direction, with the result being a modern handset with a very beautiful facade and an interesting way to integrate volume buttons.

Bob Freking is becoming some sort of a household name here at Concept Phones, since he just sent us a couple more handset designs. One of them is the iPhone 5 seen below, which the designer claims that Apple won’t name this way. This phone comes with an incredible new Retina Display, with a 4 inch diagonal and a 1400 x 960 pixel resolution with an incredible resulting 424 ppi.
We’ll get futuristic iPhone with 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of storage, 1GB of RAM and iOS 6.0. There’s also a 13 megapixel camera on board with dual LED Flash and support for 1080p video, but on an improved level when compared to the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 design also includes a 2 megapixel camera with HD 720p capture, as well as an impressive quad core Apple A6 chipset made by Intel and clocked at 1.66GHz.
Expect more innovative functions from iOS 6 and if I were to guess some I’d say facial recognition, new gesture recognition input, maybe even some widgets in the UI and an evolved notification area. As far as design goes, this iPhone 5 concept is so rounded and curved that it reminds me of the Galaxy Nexus a bit. What do you think?

An Apple camera concept doesn’t sound so far fetched nowadays, especially with the Cupertino giant looking for a new direction. Steve Jobs wanted to change the way we use phones, TVs, computers and maybe even cameras. He partly achieved that through the great camera on the iPhone 4S, but there’s room for more evolution. Maybe the iCam Apple camera will take care of that…
A creation of ADR Studio, this device was shown to us by Antonio de Rosa, creator of many interesting Apple concepts. The iCam comes with an unibody aluminum design, interchangeable Apple lenses, an iMount mounting system and a front touchscreen for self portraits. There’s also an LED flash on board, a front pico projector and a SD UHS-i slot. Siri compatibility is also here, as well as a motion sensor and ISO range from 100 to 3200, extendable to 6400.
The Apple camera concept is capable of full HD 60 fps capture, using a 10.1 megapixel sensor and its specs most likely include Bluetooth and WiFi as well. I suppose that the time between shots is almost non-existent, since even the iPhone 4S beat records and delivered an incredibly fast photo shooting experience. Would you buy this camera? What price range it would fit?

Guilherme Schasiepen, the man behind this brilliant Apple iTV concept is back, this time with a new iPod. This design dates from last year, fall and it’s an iPod Shuffle with a touchscreen display. How cool is that? It still clips onto your clothes and the size is about the same as the older iPod Shuffle, but with a widescreen display.
The iPod nano was a hit when it came and people started creating watch designs based on it, so why wouldn’t a touch iPod Shuffle catch on? It’s small, it’s comfortable, it might even be priced right this time… Hopefully folks with big, thick fingers will get used to the input on this tiny little player and maybe there’s a way to integrate this with the iPod, iPad and iPhone experience, maybe as some sort of headset or extra microphone?
The industrial design of this next generation Shuffle is mint, but is the battery able to live up to the expectations? Also, since this is a Shuffle, it’s most likely a jogging device, but with a screen it suddenly becomes more fragile and prone to breaking… Would you get one?

Straight from ADR Studio, the crew that delivered many Apple concepts now comes the iBox. This device seems to be a combo between a 7 inch iPad Mini and a set top box solution. Coming in 2012, this product will be the core of your living room and your study, wherever a TV is found, actually…
The iBox acts as a set top box and a touch device, sporting a 7 inch display and serving as the remote and more for the HDTV you own. Siri allows you to command your TV through the iBox and you can also change channels, record a show, find a movie based on your mood and all of that while interacting with iTunes. iBox also connects to the iPad and iPhone, so you’re able to also place calls through it and even video calls from the TV are enabled via FaceTime.
There’s also the iMove app that teaches gesture commands and gets support from the TV, much like some sort of reworked Kinect. The TV experience controlled by a 7 inch set top box tablet, that unifies the iPhone, iPad and iMac sounds like a pretty good idea, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see if there will be an Apple iTV television set or not, in the end.
