Sam Beckett has posted a realistic concept video for a 4.7-inch iPhone Air.

The phone is only 8% larger than the existing iPhone 5S, this increase is to accommodate the larger screen. Some extra space could be potentially utilised by reducing the width of the side bezels and by also slimming down the top and bottom of the phone frame too. The depth of the iPhone Air is 7mm, coming in 0.6mm smaller than it's predecessor. This modest reduction in the device depth and larger increase in the width and height could help create a bigger space for the battery and other components.

The 4.7-inch screen would have a 1920x1080 resolution resulting in a pixel density of 468ppi. It uses sapphire crystal cover glass instead of Gorilla Glass for added strength and durability. Other features include an upgraded 10MP f/1.8 camera and an A8 chip.

Beckett has posted other impressive concepts in the past including a Brilliant iOS 8 Concept for Interactive Notifications and an Excellent Apple TV/iPanel Concept Video.

Apple would never use such silent mode switch. The problem is, you see, when you put your phone into pocket it switches. The existing silent mode switch is better because it works.

Why is it bad? I like it.

It's by Sam Beckett, therefore, it's real. End of story.

It's by Sam Beckett, therefore, it is gonna be real. End of story. He got the iPhone 5 concept to the "EXACT POINT"!

Nice concept. It looks very nice with the 4s feel to it in larger air size but iPhone air makes me think little room for improved battery. Can they have both? That would be awesome.

Excuse me, but just what is the purpose of these concepts other than to indicate that the creators of said concepts have way too much time on their hands? Apple has their own designers. They aren't looking for advice from the peanut gallery.

Look like the same old to me. But great good on the render. Android rules.

John Doe - March 11, 2014 at 12:57am

The point of Android is that it rules, and what would iOS copy if Android was not around. I'm eager to see which feature of Android they will copy next.

gamerscul9870 - March 11, 2014 at 1:27am

What kind of die hard fandroid fanboy agrees they copy and just take the myth that it "rules"?

I think you have a bit of dyslexia there. Id read more carefully.

After you cure your bee sting allergy on your mouth.

John Doe - March 11, 2014 at 9:57pm

Ill be honest with you, I saw that paragraph you wrote and I said to myself "no way im reading that" Sooooo there you go. Android rules.

gamerscul9870 - March 11, 2014 at 10:29pm

And that's the story of why you can't learn. Period. iOS rules.

John Doe - March 12, 2014 at 12:06am

Don't forget your meds. Android rules.

gamerscul9870 - March 12, 2014 at 12:10am

The meds I already had every time I'm about to comment unlike you. iOS rules.

John Doe - March 12, 2014 at 2:06am

Keep it up, I believe in you. One day you'll get better.

John Doe - March 12, 2014 at 2:12am

Oops, looks like someone is off there meds again. Your not making sense dude. I give up, just remember to keep your red helmet on. Lets see if this works. "Hey K look over there, shinny red ball" lets hope he takes the bait. Android rules.

Best concept I've seen!!!!

gamerscul9870 - March 10, 2014 at 1:43pm

Near perfection but the old school buttons, why go back with them and use it on metal? Plus, the back side is like the 4.

BryanG - March 10, 2014 at 1:20pm

Very good and finally something reasonable, although I'd like to see the glass back die with the next iteration in favor of something less break-y...

Beautiful and realistic concept based on the Iphone 4 series, which by the way, my personal and humble opinion, is the best design ever of a Iphone what aesthetics and quality concerns.
