Hundred of voices, scoops and descriptions allow us to imagine the new upcoming iPhone 5.
The mystery just starts around its name: what’s the new iPhone name? iPhone 5? New iPhone? Simply iPhone?
We’ve thought a new concept for you, with a summary of these features.
Let’s start with the name: Say Hello to iPhone Plus.
Like Macintosh Plus, iPhone Plus is the real evolution of iPhone concept.
It arrives 5 years after the first unveiling, on January 2007 and it brings to us the most advanced technology ever seen on a smartphone:
- Liquidmetal Body: thermoformed on a single plane, no junctions needed;
- Screen with double alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass;
- 4.3″ Retina Display with In-Cell technology;
- A6 Quad Core processor;
- Rear Camera: 10.0 Megapixel, f/2.4, 1080p Full HD video at 30 frame/s;
- Front Camera: 2.0 Megapixel (VGA), 480p VGA video at 30 frame/s;
- Rear motion sensor;
- Top pico-projector to beam photos and videos on any surfaces;
- Slim design for an edge-to-edge thinner profile;
- New slim-dock connector;
- Fully Capacitive Home Button;
iPhone Plus is a giant leap in the future of the smartphones.
It’s the Non Plus Ultra smartphone.
Now, this is more of a fantasy by the artist than an actual prediction of what the next iPhone will be. Apple seems settled on the iPhone screen size, which is 3.5″ across the diagonal. A 4.3″ screen is absurd for Apple's standards, going against the idea that the entire screen should be easily reached with your thumb (when the device is held in one hand). The image below displays the thumb tap radius when holding the device with one hand:
The concept includes a quad-core processor, which is great for mobile gamers, edging the iPhone closer to matching the console experience. I welcome this upgrade, however, some of the other features I am more critical towards. A thin, less rounded device adds the extra possibility to dropping and may also be uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of use. The design may look great, but is it practical?

I think the designer has done a great job with this concept. This would be sure to stir up the smartphone market. However, I would much rather see all these features included in an iPhone 4s size device. Apple is right on the money with the screen size, and many long-time iPhone users are happy with this design. Apple would also like to keep the iPhone screen size down, as so it does not start being regarded as a tablet that can make phone calls. What do you think about this concept? If Apple were to pursue this design, would you buy it or upgrade to it from a previous iPhone model?

Although thinner is always nice and sexy looking, it's usually also easier to drop and break. I have the HTC Evo 4g and I like it because it has a pretty good thickness so it stays in my hand easier, I don't have to worry too much about dropping it or it slipping out of my hand. (Don't be a homo and take that last sentence wrong
