This iPhone 5 Concept Design Will Blow Your Mind

What will the iPhone 5 look like? We reported rumours of a September 9th launch date, production to start in August, and details of a cheaper, unlocked model.

But in terms of design, we haven’t seen any breathtaking concepts–until now. Check out the following iPhone 5 concept by Poland-based industrial designer, Michal Bonikowski. It incorporates the existing glass front and stainless steel band design, with a curved aluminum back taking cues from the original iPad. Sexy. Time.

What do you think of this iPhone 5 concept? Yay or nay?

Would it come off too easily when you slide it in and out of your pocket?

Looks just like all the other iPhone 3g(s) apple gotta change it up a bit while the look is minimalist and simple just like the OS

Definitely “yay.” If this is how it turns out, I’m quite sure all the “Nay-sayers” would have a change of heart.

I prefer the individual volume buttons, but other than that it’s not too bad.

nay. I don’t understand why the earpiece is so wide, just because the screen is wider doesnt mean that has to change too. also with a button for the mute switch, it’s going to be accidentally pressed in pockets all the time

lastly, i dont see what was wrong with a flat back

Sexy. Looks very thing on the sides. I prefer the curved back of my 3gs to the 4 already.

I like it more than the 4. I have the 3GS still & will skip the 4 in favor of waiting for the 5. It appears thinner & yes, sleek & sexy!

Yay!… Anything is better that the stupid glass back of the iP4. Come-on… glass? Why design a phone that practically HAS to be enveloped in a case? NEXT!

Gary

I have first hand experience in having my back glass smashed from a drop.
It’s not fun.

However, I don’t think its possible to cram all the guts of an iPhone into this design. Perhaps an iPod Touch instead

Totally agree with you. Personally I like 4’s design more than any other phone, including 3, 3Gs, and the concept. I will keep my 4 as long as I can. Besides, many people already have problem picking up the 4 from a flat surface without a case, what’s gonna happen to this thinner concept when you put it facing down without a case?

Nay, the iPhone 4 design is much better, and I believe apple will keep the iPhone 4 design for atleast one more gen.

Not sure I have ever once accidentally hit the volume buttons. but i agree with a switch instead… though thats the only bloody piece on my 4 that gets dirty.

I think Apple almost assumes you will end up putting a case on your phone. If you dont have a case then you could care less about protecting your investment.

haha na. I much prefer the front of the 4 to the 3gs. This has the best of both to me. In any case, small point in the grand scheme

I’m sure the price would be something crazy like $49.99. But I’d still buy it–FML.

It’s alright: I can already feel the luxuriousness of it.
But I’m torn between this design as well:
