The same guy who created this
iPhone nano concept, Dorian Darko is now back with an iPhone 5 mockup. The device uses all the rumors concerning this new handset, giving it a large touchscreen display (4 inches most likely), one that goes from edge to edge.
Also, the Home button is gone, at least in its physical form, possibly being replaced by a touch area at the bottom, that would be a shame to be left unused. The hole for the camera of the handset looks a bit tiny to me, but that may be my opinion alone. Give this unit iOS 5, a better speaker at the top part and a metal back and it will be a hit.
How about a Liquid Metal iPhone?

TJ Kohl is a name we’ve heard in relation to the
Str1pe phone concept and now he’s back to deliver an appealing iPhone 5 design. The device is pictured below and it relies an LED rights on the lower right side to notify you of the smartphone’s functioning mode.
Also, TJ Kohl informs us that the Home button is clickable, like the magic trackpad and the ambient light sensor can determine the backlight for the Home button and the screen. As far as the LED lights are concerned, they’ll show the battery life in green, flash white for unread notifications, become orange when no connection or service is available and flash red for low battery life.
This project was made in Photoshop, using paths and vectors, in case you’re wondering.

Tommaso Gecchelin created the MacBook of the year 2020, a concept of a laptop that’s able to shape shift from metal to plastic. This is a portable computer that’s as thin as paper and even thinner than the MacBook Air. Supposedly, the product is based on a nano material that shrinks enough to fit into your pocket.
Also, the 2020 MacBook comes with infinite battery life, thanks to a photo voltaic layer that it includes. There’s also an ultrasound layer for tactile feedback and a 3D camera on board, able to capture everything around as tridimensional footage. The last feature is possibly the most appealing one: a holographic emitter showing you all the content you need.
Everything is wireless and there are no ports or cables in sight. Of course, cloud solutions handle everything, so there’s no need for a HDD. Would you buy this device?

Apple’s upcoming music service, supposedly dubbed iCloud might launch with a new iPod, if speculations are correct. In the meantime, Electricpig created a mockup of the next gen of iPod pictured below. There’s also a leaked reference to Apple’s new service found in the latest release of OS X Lion – “Castle”.
If Apple’s iCloud music streaming service will be called Castle or not we don’t know, but what we do know is that Apple has a gigantic data centre ready for this service. We’re talking over 500,000 square foot of servers, that will be used to store your music and make internal memory useless for the new iPod Cloud concept.
This means that the device gets a bigger battery, less memory and WiFi/3G connectivity. The dock connector could also be lost in the process, so we may rely on AirPlay to connect with external speakers. Wireless charging is another function of the new iPod, as it lays on a charging dish that’s probably based on induction.
Would you buy this streaming based media player?

Imagine that you take the best picture of your life with an iPhone 4… Then you want to print it and there’s no PC around to be found or a wireless printer for that matter. Well,
Mac Funamizu has a great idea: an iPhone dock that instantly prints photos after you take them.
This is the Polaroid iPhone dock concept and there’s also the option of adding a QR core for the URL of the pic on the back. As an extra, you can geotagg a photo and include the map to show where the photo was taken. This is a brilliant idea and I sure hope we’ll be seeing such cases soon. After all, the iPhone 4 is almost ready to surpass all point and shoot cameras in Flickr uploads, right?

It appears that the info concerning the
iPhone 6 is more solid than what we have right now on the
iPhone 5. Turns out that Sharp will be manufacturing the displays for the 2012 version of the iPhone, according to Japanese paper
Nikkan. The work has already begun at the Kameyama Plant No. 1, used for LCD TV production mainly.
Sharp’s new display relies on “low-temperature poly-silicon” technology, so we can call the screen a “p-Si LCD”, with a TFT (thin film transistor) made of polyscristalline silicon. The advantages of this technology include a thinner LCD display and lower power consumption. Also, the p-Si display supports a higher aperture ratio, showing more vivid images.
It’s strange to see that we have more info on the iPhone 6 right now than about the iPhone 5…

JoyStudios has a new design for us, the Apple iPod Touch 5 concept, that runs iOS 5. This device sticks to the form factor of the previous iPod touch models and brings forth a shiny metal back that makes us wonder what material was used to create it. Liquid metal, maybe?
As far as specs are concerned, this iOS 5 unit comes with WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC, a 5 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture and a 4 inch IPS display with 960 x 640 pixel resolution. On board you’ll find 32/64/128 GB of internal storage and we have to mention that the device is compatible with the Apple Digital AV Adapter.
Odds are that the real iPod Touch 5 will be similar to this one, but we’ll have to wait at least till summer to learn more about it.

With the iPhone 5 speculated to arrive this fall, we have a long time to wait and check out concepts, like the one below. Created by H.D.I Design the iPhone 5 Carbon packs a 4 inch display, with a 1120 x 780 pixel resolution. There’s also an 8 megapixel camera on board, capable of 1080p HD 30 fps video capture.
Said camera uses a dual LED flash and the housing of the device is made of carbon and glass. At the inside we find the Apple A8 processor, which is a mystery to us, especially considering that the latest CPU from Cupertino was the A5 dual core one @ almost 1GHz. Supposedly, the battery on this handset provides up to 8 hours of 4G functioning time and up to 18 hours on WiFi.
The iPhone 5 concept above fits pretty well with the recent rumors, saying that the new iPhone will have a 4 inch screen, dual core CPU, no physical Home button and smaller bezels.

There’s nothing we love more than a good mockup and this is the case of the following
iPhone 5 design, popping up on nowhereelse.fr. Together with it we found some of the rumors concerning the specifications of the following iPhone. The one we’ve heard most often is the fact that the device will lack a physical Home button.
The iPhone 5 is also supposed to feature a better camera, most likely an Exmor R 8 megapixel unit from Sony, if our info is correct. The new device will also mark the switch to the 4 inch touchscreen display, supposedly, but the rest of the design will stay the same. We might see 64GB models, but that requires Flash memory prices to go down.
Is this the perfect iPhone?

Although the iPhone 5 you can see below is a mockup, it seems to fit recent speculations saying that its design won’t be that different from the iPhone 4… That unless you count a 4 inch display and an aluminum back as huge differences. Rumor has it that the new iPhone will use the iPad 2 as inspiration, even getting those cool Smart Covers it has.
There’s already evidence in iOS 4.3 supporting the claim that the iPhone 5 will use the Apple A5 dual core processor for an extra power boost. Also, the latest concepts and designs of the handset have all shown up with an edge to edge display, that would be cool, if it were real. Since many people said that the iPad 1 was a bigger iPhone, will they say that the iPhone 5 is a smaller iPad 2?
