And here’s yet another iPhone 5 design, this one based on the long time rumored edge to edge display. This time the screen feels as if it’s actually a piece of glass fit between two metal parts, because of the lack of side bezel. Also, looking at the phone from its profile reveals a sort of a mini display, as shown here. The concept was created by Sira Design.
This iPhone 5 concept features a dual core Apple A6 processor, a 9 megapixel iSight camera and iOS 6. iCloud is also in the mix and New Siri as well. The screen diagonal is 4 inches and we’ve got a bunch of new icons to work with. What’s interesting is that in the screen diagonal area it says “4.0 + 0.5″. Is that 0.5 actually the side screen I was talking about or is this a 4.5 inch iPhone? Anyway I love this design and it’s so simple and lacks any unnecessary complications.
Hopefully with so much glass used on it, there’s still room for a decent battery. I remind you that the iPhone 5 is rumored to launch this fall and we could see its OS, iOS 6.0 being previewed next month at WWDC 2012. Excited about that? On the Sira Design page it actually says that I was right and the sides of the device are actually smaller screens, so the device is even cooler!

We’ve seen our share of iPhone 5 concepts, with some recent models being really stunning, but here’s a fresh one, created by [FUSE]Chicken. This iPhone 5 vision involves an elongated Home button and a rectangular design, plus a 4 inch display, a widescreen one actually.
This iPhone 5 measures 7mm in thickness and has a 10 megapixel iSight camera at the back, plus a 5MP one at the front. The interesting aspect here is the inclusion of quad speakers for stereo in landscape and portrait. The headphone jack was also placed in a central position. I like the metallic edges of this model, but I’m not such a big fan of the volume buttons, that look like those on a toy phone, to be honest. The way the metal area around the device is slightly sloped makes it look like a precious item, a very nice feat.
On a side note, the metallic wire thing that props up the phone in some pictures is also very interesting and elegant. An iPhone like this would be a luxury item, that’s for sure, but will it appeal to real Apple fans? What do you say?

You may remember that some days ago we’ve shown you a liquidmetal quad core iPhone concept created by Antoine Brieux, well in fact only its metal frame. Now, the concept is back in finished form. Meet the iPhone 5 Liquidmetal unit, with a quad core Apple A6 chip and much more goodies detailed after the break.
The device uses a 4.5 inch widescreen display, a 10 megapixel camera and a virtual Home Button. There’s also an embedded SIM card and obviously the Liquidmetal case, that measures only 7.9 mm in thickness. When turned around in landscape mode, the phone’s virtual Home button is gone to make more room for video watching/gaming. I have to say that the format of this iPhone concept is very appealing, especially with the device having metallic edges and a shiny back that’s probably protected by either ceramics or liquidmetal as well.
This glossy phone is certainly the kind of evolution that Apple would offer us this fall, when the real iPhone 5 comes out. Not sure if the 8MP camera of the iPhone 4S needs any revamp, since it’s great just the way it is. This supposed iOS 6 unit would certainly be more sturdy than its predecessors, that’s for sure. What do you say? Do you want a metallic iPhone or some other material?

With the recent rumors concerning a possible use of LiquidMetal for the next iPhone, designer Antoine Brieux decided to create a concept based on that idea. Thus, he came up with the iPhone 5 LiquidMetal device, that he’ll show us later on. For now we only have this teaser, of the beautiful frame that the iPhone 5 will be based on.
As far as I know Liquidmetal is an alloy used by Apple to make those tiny sharp keys that allow you to pull out the SIM tray on the iPhones. The advantages of this material are high tensile strength, great corrosion resistance and anti wearing ability. In spite of the name, this is by no means a liquid metal… It’s also a pretty new material, being introduced for commercial use in 2003 and being used on golf clubs, watches and cellphone covers. The main advantage is the high strength to weight ratio, so maybe the next iPhone will finally be able not to crack and die when it’s dropped on the floor.
Antoine’s iPhone 5 frame concept looks fantastic and I really can’t wait to see the whole thing. I imagine it’s a shiny piece of work and there’s plenty or room for a big camera sensor in there, so maybe the cam has been updated too. We’ll see…

Federico Ciccarese just sent me one of his designs, a new iPhone 5 render, that he created taking into account all the rumors floating around about the next generation of Apple handset. The key concept here was elegance and a curved form factor that Apple hasn’t approached just yet, at least not on the iPhone.
As you remember older iMacs were big on curves and the first iPhones were also pretty curved. With the iPhone 4 came a more rectangular approach, those nifty round buttons and no trace of curves. Now, Federico wants a curved back iPhone and most likely a curved display as well. I suppose this is a quad core iPhone, since that’s what the rumors are saying. Also, the camera is probably the same 8 megapixel affair, that’s evolved enough to be kept that way for a year or two, maybe with a 3D option thrown in for fun.
I also expect yet another GPU bump for the phone, for even more impressive gaming on the smartphone. Also, as you can see the Apple logo on the back lights up, a feat that people have dreamt of having on the iPhones and iPads for a while. This can also be done with a special hardware tweak, but that’s another story. So, what do you say? Is there any chance that Tim Cook and co will go with a curved Apple phone?

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?

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?

Alexander Black emailed met yet another iPhone 5 concept that you can see below. I was a bit puzzled by the specifications, but I guess some of them make sense… in a way. For starters, we’ve got a dual core 1.9GHz processor… a Samsung A8 that actually makes me think about an Apple A8 CPU. That’s miles away however, since Apple has only reached the A5 generation now…
The same iPhone 5 concept comes with a 10 megapixel camera at the back, a 7 megapixel camera at the front and iOS 5 as the main platform. The handset incorporates a 4.5 inch Retina Display, according to the same Alexander Black and there’s also wireless charging enabled on it. A touchpad was integrated at the back much like on the Sony PS Vita console, always a cool addition for gaming.
Last, there’s a 2100 mAh battery and if that’s replaceable we might have a hit here. Some of these feats are a bit futuristic and not well adapted to the modern requirements. For example, who would integrate a 7MP camera at the front for videocalling? I guess we’ll be stuck at a max of 2 or 3MP for another year or two, if you ask me. Also, the Apple A8 will probably be a quad core or 8 core configuration by the time this number is reached. Are we ready for a quad core iPhone?

Finally, my wish came true! We have a new iPhone 5 concept straight after the iPhone 4S launch… Created by Antonio de Rosa, this model comes with a capacitive home button, aluminum unibody case, a 4.3 inch screen and a dual core Apple A6 processor.
It’s also got iOS 5.1 and iCloud, while its body looks more compact than ever, so it may have a thickness lower than 8.5mm (Galaxy S II thickness). The elongated capacitive Home button is something that people have been talking about for a while now, so it would be a pity not to capitalize on that innovation.
This week I’ve heard that Apple finally decided to go with Samsung as its next CPU maker, although TSMC seemed like the favourite for making the A6 for a while… Also, inside sources are saying that the same case size of the iPhone 4S will be kept, but the screen will be made bigger, so maybe we’re talking edge to edge display here. These are all usual rumors, that we’ll be hearing for a year now, till the iPhone 5 gets released…
