25 Clever Apple iPhone Concept Designs

Posted on 28. Nov, 2009 by Shawn Ramsey in Inspiration

The Apple iPhone raised the bar for future cell phone designs when it made its debut in early 2007. Since its initial release, two more designs have reached the public through the 3G and the 3GS with very little change to the original look. Thankfully, some creative Apple fans have given us a glimpse on their take of the Apple iPhone through some really clever concept ideas.

Below is an assortment of some of the best, more attractive concepts to hit the web. Hopefully some of the Apple designers are taking note of these as well.

Apple iPhone Concepts

01.  Chromatic iPhone

Same phone in a multitude of different chromatic colors. No more grabbing the girlfriends phone by accident.

02.  iPhone Air

Macbook Air meets iPhone.

03.  Nouveau Concept

I love the flat black look on the back of the phone and the redesigned ‘Home’ button.

04.  Looking Glass

One of many clear iPhone designs.

05.  Heir Apparent

“Crystal clear, thin, lightweight iPhone with the following features: fully functional Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 3G compatibility, 64GB HD, 5 megapixel camera, and customizable UI (just to name a few).” – Robert Davis

06.  iPhone Unibody

Not much bigger than a credit card, this concept shaves the edges off the phone.

07.  iPhone Tint

Flash video support, titanium side panels and a cool contoured shape.

08.  iPhone Elite

Dual sliding mechanism, SMP camera with 3X optical zoom and loads more.  What does the iPhone Elite not have?

09.  iPhone Nano

I have a feeling this one may come true.

10.  Next iPhone

Another concept that changes the shape of the original design.

11.  iPhone 4G

Inspired by the curves and tapering of the Macbook Air coupled with the touch’s back.

12.  New iPhone

This one focuses on changing up the GUI.

13.  iPhone Video Concept

This concept was created before the release of the 3GS, which of course does support video recording.  I think the curved design is pretty slick though.

14.  iPhone Nano

Another iPhone Nano concept.  Hmm…

15.  iPhone Gesture

“This is a gesture-enabled device that replaces the Home Button with a touch-sensitive area, placed beneath the phone’s OLED display.” – Ludwig

16.  The new iPhone

“A more stylish slimmer phone with a glossy high-resolution screen wrapped in an aluminum case ready to go with you.” – Matthew Winter

17.  Curved iPhone

I hope the curved concept catches on, it just makes the phone look more sophisticated.

18.  The iPhone Nano

Again, the Nano concept shows up.

19.  iPlay

A little PSP competition?

20.  Blue iPhone

A complete redesign in this concept.

Accessories

01.  iAqua 2

A very unique charging dock with a clear display underneath.

02.  iPetals

No more plugging in the phone with this idea.

03.  iHammock

“The life of an iPhone is hard and you know it. After spending the day searching for 3G and running apps, the iHammock takes the edge off. This dock is actually a sweet idea. Too bad it’s just a rendering.” – Joanna Stern

04.  iPhone Dock

Another cool dock featuring a clear display.

05.  E-Pod

This dock concept features a speaker, movie projector, alarm clock…
