What if Apple were to create a simplistic 'dumbphone'? CURVED presents the Apple iDot concept mobile phone based on the design of the new Siri remote.

With an existing bluetooth-connection the "cellie" is able to receive selected notifications from apps - similar to the Apple Watch. Without the connection the mobile communication is reduced to the basics: the call.

Specifications:
● 6.3 mm thin
● available in Spacegray, Rosegold and Silver
● internal storage: for what?
● battery lasts for five days, charging via Lightning
● weighs under 100 gram
● no camera
● no internet-connection
● no apps
● no distraction

This would be useful in a large house, it could be used in different rooms in connection to the iPhone... like the "answer calls on other devices" feature. But it'd need a camera for FaceTime calls. I would get a few for my house, so I could leave my iPhone anywhere and still make/receive calls.

Yeah nice thing... always welcome! I was expecting this long time

Would be perfect for my elderly parents who are still on a flip phone and only use it in case of emergency.

This is useful in 3rd world countries where there are so many thieves and holdups. You basically can't use your iphone in public because thieves are everywhere.

You could have a fake iPhone.

i have a feeling this is what the iphone wouldve been like if apple made phones back in the 90s...

If it has all the basic apps with with small touch screen it would be awesome! It looks really cute, and basic apps I mean timer calandra and this kind of stuff

I would buy it for my 80 year old mother in law, she hates how much crap is on the iPhone, but loves her iPad. This would be perfect for her.

gamerscul9870 - December 30, 2015 at 5:42am

Whatta you mean?

Kallu - December 30, 2015 at 3:45am

I would love to have it for my calls. 5 day uninterrupted battery backup amazing.

More like another blackberry revert. The back is just as terrible.
