2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of the original iPhone, a device that has maintained the same design since 2014 when the company surprised with the growth and redesign of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. So this year we all expect an iPhone 8 (or iPhone X, or XNUMXth anniversary iPhone) that offers a complete redesign while incorporating new features and materials: edge-to-edge OLED display, removal of the physical Home button, and even the implementation of a kind of Touch Bar.
With all these, and many other rumors in mind, we all imagine what we want the next iPhone 8 to look like, and so do expert artists and designers who have created their iPhone 8 concepts from the suggested rumors. Today we show you some of the best designs that, obviously, do not reflect reality in any way, but they are still interesting because they reflect both the rumors and many of the characteristics that users would like to see.
Vianney le Masne's iPhone 8
Designer Vianney le Masne has envisioned a iPhone 8 «without borders»That incorporates the new version iOS 11 coming in the fall and a feature highly demanded by many users, the dark mode. It has a edge to edge display but it leaves a top bar to house the front camera.
Gabor Balogh's iPhone X
Designer Gabor Balogh has come up with an "iPhone X" that displays a edge to edge display or with a Virtual Home button around which dynamic smart functions are offered that change depending on the application that the user is using at the time, come on, an adaptation of the Touch Bar of the MacBook Pro.
The most interesting thing about this design is its screen since, although it supposes the introduction of advanced features for Siri and virtual reality, this is something that we do not know if it will arrive with the supposed iPhone 8.
Arthur Reis' iPhone 8
Another designer, Arthur Reis, has envisioned an iPhone 8 that has been shared by ConceptsiPhone. As in previous designs, it is a device with screen almost edge-to-edge but still maintaining very slim bezels, video body, dual cameras ... Reís has preferred to focus on the rumors with more possibilities, and not on "fantastic rumors." You can see it in the following video but at minute 1:42 you can skip to 2:20 to avoid the ad that is included.
AlHasan Husni's iPhone 8
Designer AlHasan Husni has also envisioned an iPhone 8 that incorporates a dark mode and a screen that slightly wraps the sides of the device. As we can see, the trend is for a screen with slightly curved edges. It also includes a kind of Touch Bar whose functions would change depending on the app on the screen.
Sahanan Yogarasa's iPhone 8
In the following video we see another iPhone 8 also with an almost edge-to-edge screen but that maintains the upper frames. Perhaps the most novel are those new colors imagined by Yogarasa as a red or a dark blue.
Thadeu Brandão's iPhone 8
The designer Thadeu Brandão was one of the first to "imagine" what the iPhone 8 could be like and a couple of months ago he showed us a terminal with larger edge-to-edge displaye, dual cameras, And a glass body both in the front and in the back joined by a aluminum frameor. Of course, the physical Home button was also disappearing integrated into the lower part of the front of the screen. He even thought of a Touch Bar at the bottom whose functions change depending on the app the user is using.
Veniamin Geskin and Ran Avni's iPhone 8
These two designers envisioned, again, an iPhone 8 whose screen extends to the edges, but leaving a thin side frame as well as the top and bottom frames. This model would offer Watch style induction charging and also a variant that lacks a bottom frame.
Imran Taylor's iPhone 8
And we finish with the concept created by Imran Taylor for ConceptsiPhone, an iPhone 8 with ceramic body (highly unlikely due to the price), 5,8-inch curved OLED display, a touch-sensitive bottom bezel, and wireless charging via a Smart Smart Connector.
