It's amazing if it were real Id pay at least ranging from $190-$700 5Stars all in all.

You guys that have dissed this concept are nuts. That looks cool. I want one.

If this is a way for apple to get feedback on this design... It freakin sux.

Jaffer khan - February 24, 2012 at 11:06am

Thank god this is just a concept, but if at all it gets real I for sure not going near it. A big turn off...

Not very interesting and rather disappointing. I would never get that phone!

If that's gonna be the iPhone 5, I'm sure glad I didn't wait and got the 4s instead!!!

Looks great!

Mahmoud - February 23, 2012 at 11:12pm

reminds me of the nexus devices and Samsung's curved displays!

Travis milligan - February 23, 2012 at 10:46pm

Its stupid u know how bad the screen would be scratched unless u have a screen protecter! I would never buy this

Tony kim - February 23, 2012 at 9:59pm

Remind yourself that it's just a concept

MrEdofCourse - February 23, 2012 at 9:39pm

A few problems... 1) It would be almost impossible to use on a flat surface because it would rock back and forth. 2) The headphone jack on the side would be a problem if you had it in your pocket. For that matter it would be a problem just holding it in your hand. 3) There are no dimensions listed, but the camera on the current iPhone is the thickest component. Which means that either this concept can't be, or it's actually much bigger 2-3x the size of the current iPhone. 4) There's too much wasted space. Sure, the curve feels good, but you're removing battery (or other components). Unless like #3, the concept is actually a big enormous iPhone. My problem with most of these concepts is that the designer didn't do any studying of the components of the iPhone. They don't design anything that's feasible, and if their designs were to be attempted, the product would suck because of things like making the iPhone 2-3 times bigger to fit the camera in it. I mean really, all this guy did was take the existing iPhone and carve off some of it to make it curved. That's not doable in real life. If that qualifies for a concept, here's my ultimate concept -> . That's right, it's that little dot! Apple could advertise it as the smallest phone, or anything for that matter, ever sold ever.

It looks great and seem like it would be very comfortable. Much better than other concepts showing one side thinker tapering to a thinner side is a horrible and uncomfortable design. Over all it looks nice and I hope the end product looks like this.

PReaper - February 23, 2012 at 8:48pm

I'd buy it! Looks really comfortable and ergonomic to use :)

Salman shahid - February 23, 2012 at 8:28pm

I think this design sounds great because this shape shows two things like a mouse as a phone looks incredible and love the shape...

detective sims - February 23, 2012 at 7:50pm

I kind of like it!

Rob - February 23, 2012 at 7:47pm

At first glance, what? Then, as I picked up my magic mouse and held it like an iPhone, pretending to type in portrait and landscape mode, holding it up to my ear to speak... it actually is quite a compelling ergonomic design. As cool as the 4/4S design is, I really miss the ergonomics of the original iPhone.

byronchurch - February 23, 2012 at 7:43pm

I like where he's going! I always thought the back of the phone was an un-taped resource for input

Mich - February 23, 2012 at 7:34pm

Totally useless design... Who the hell would like or use a stereo port on its side,,, also one little drop and say goodbye to the phone due to is thin edges.

Me - February 23, 2012 at 6:19pm

Hopless curved back... Design is worthless if its not usable. Try again. Design is how it works.

bMc - February 23, 2012 at 6:08pm

Wow, That is Elegant! I absolutely love it, I hope we get something exactly like this :D

bMc - February 23, 2012 at 6:10pm

I have the KOGadget LightMod on my 4S and love it as well, and would love for Apple to implement it into the new design, much like they implement any feature or function that is created by the Jailbreak/Android Communities

Deep - February 24, 2012 at 8:07am

This look terrible. If that is iPhone. I'm gonna wait to buy iPhone 4s
