Insane iPhone 7 concept is too awesome to be real

If you could design your own iPhone 7, without compromises and limitations, it would probably look a little something like this insane concept. It doesn’t just look amazing; it’s also packing out-of-this-world features that make your existing model look like a relic.

Every iPhone concept we see is wildly unrealistic, with designs and specifications that are either years away, or just totally impossible. That’s what makes them so spectacular. But this one really takes the biscuit.

Created by DBS Photography, it depicts an iPhone 7 with a super-sharp 4K display that wraps around both sides of the handset’s slender frame, virtual volume buttons that you can place wherever you want, and sapphire glass.

Inside the device, you’ll find specifications that are more likely to be found in a high-end laptop, including a whopping 6GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. The device also has a gigantic 5,000mAh battery, and a 24-megapixel rear-facing camera with f/1.7 aperture.

Believe or not, we’re likely to see smartphones with specifications similar to these in just a few short years. But I wouldn’t get your hopes up for an iPhone with a wraparound 4K display and a design this sensational if I were you.

Apple’s actual iPhone 7 is expected to look almost identical to its latest offerings, but recent leaks have revealed we could see redesigned antenna bands, an added Smart Connector, and a dual-lens camera on the larger iPhone 7 Plus.

The leaked images and schematics that have surfaced in recent weeks are brought to life in the design video below.

    I would probably have the button integrated within the screen and have optional buttons on either side of the home button where it gives the user options. I bought one of those Smart Touch screen protectors and I love them. I wish they had the same functionality built into the iPhone, but at least I can add it. I would also like to see shatterproof screens as well as being waterproof.

    I don’t see screens on the side ever becoming popular, as it would make covers impossible. I do think Apple should reduce the number of buttons on the side though, where holding the volume down button jumps to silent, with an onscreen display option to choose for how long. Alternatively, I’d position the power button above the volume rockers, operating like the iPod shuffle button with three positions: Off, Silent, On.

    i see the same old ‘concept’ design of screens on the side of the phone making the rounds again. these came out when they were leaking the iPhone 5… like other people say, it is impractical as you’d never be able to put a case on it. buttons exist for a reason – let’s not get rid of them. my guess is the 7 will be much the same as the iPhone 6 but with enhancements to the OS, graphics chip and of course the camera. they will tweak the design but probably not a lot
