Rumor: iPhone in the future ?
Imagine the most daring iPhone concept ever and a bit of HTC design in the mix… You’ll probably think of an Android device, or better, but what Mat Brady did surpasses any imagination. He created a mockup of the current iPhone, called iPhone Elite, that sports a slide out QWERTY keypad and 60 GB of internal memory.
Also, iPhone Elite features a display with true 16:9 screen ratio, allowing you to watch movies at a 640 x 360 resolution and add four more icons on the start screen. This superb concept also gets a 1 MP front facing camera, supporting video conferencing and a better camera at the back, using a 5 megapixel sensor with 3x optical zoom, 640 x 480 video capture, image stabilization, red eye reduction, timer, flash and more.
If you think that this fan mockup is “the shiz”, know that Mat Brady sent the design suggestions to Steve Jobs and claimed that he wants the resulting device as a replacement for his N95.
However, not all’s well, as the concept can be improved… Jesus Diaz proved it by fixing the keyboard and making it more “rational and compact”, also adding a direction pad and gaming buttons, in order to make the new iPhone a Nintendo DS rival.
The result? An even hotter device, named iPhone Pro, that also brings some minor aesthetic modifications to the camera at the back.
Which of the two mockups is your favorite? I’d go for the Pro…
