14 DAY TRIAL // Concept renders are stunning and depict the vision of designers regarding upcoming smartphones. Some are based on rumored design elements, while others borrow particularities from previous models and add the designer’s personal touch.
There have been quite a few concept images and even videos showing off a stunning design approach to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 8. The latest comes from ConceptsiPhone (via 9to5mac) and shows an iPhone 8 with a display that covers the entire front of the device.
The concept is rendered by Thadeu Brandão and reveals a design quite similar to the iPhone 7 Plus with the inclusion of some rumored elements. The iPhone 8 will be Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone and many expect to see a change in design.
Concept iPhone 8 with dynamic Home button
Apple is rumored to move to an all glass design on the upcoming iPhone 8 and incorporate a flexible OLED screen with upgraded 3D Touch system. The video shows a concept iPhone 8 with a rounded metal frame, although some rumors have suggested that the iPhone 8 could borrow some design elements from the iPhone 4.
The smartphone appears to have a dynamic Home button, which would include some features similar to the Touch Bar on MacBook Pro. Moreover, the volume buttons and side switch design resembles those on the original iPhone.
While the design is quite stunning and would appeal to many, it’s a bit unlikely for Apple to go with a completely bezel-less display, although the bezel size could be reduced in this year’s model. Recent rumors say that the iPhone 8 could feature wireless or inductive charging, embedded Touch ID sensor and a new facial recognition feature backed up with a laser sensor.
Some reports say that Apple might go as far as incorporating new biometric sensors to replace Touch ID, it’s quite unclear. Either way, Apple is expected to enhance Siri’s functions, especially since AI technology has started to expand in the industry, with increasingly more smartphone makers incorporating virtual assistants in their premium products.
