Futuristic iPhone Seems Made of Curved Glass

Futuristic iPhone Seems Made of Curved Glass

Designer Mister Cool has created a futuristic iPhone concept, one that seems made of glass and also very curved. Transparency is also an element of this render. I’d see this made only as a prototype and in about 5 or 6 years from now, but only as a vanity project.

Apple has been more timid in its approach to curved glass so far, well unless you count their new HQ, that goes crazy with the curved glass. Anyway, next year they’ll opt for OLED screens on their iPhone and this may also lead to using curved display panels. The question is who’s going to source panels like those? Samsung? LG? Maybe Sharp under Foxconn’s rule?

Now as far as this concept goes, it doesn’t seem to have a metal frame, but rather seems to be all glass. That would make it slippery, fragile, not to mention the transparency thing is useless and just a gimmick. Still, it looks pretty cool and would rock as a collector’s piece.

Microsoft Surface Phone Leaks Again, With Touch Cover Accessory

Microsoft Surface Phone Leaks Again, With Touch Cover Accessory

What do you do when you have no new phone renders and concepts? You have a look at the leaks floating online, such as the brand new one for the Microsoft Surface Phone, shown below.

Coming straight out of China via Baidu and published by user “nokibar”, this seems like a legit leak, because the source also published photos of the cancelled Lumia 850 and they were very believable. There seems to be an USB Type C port at the bottom and a Surface Touch Cover-style accessory, that seeems to have a leather back.

The smartphone is said to be launched in April 2017 in 3 versions: one with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, one that packs 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage and finally an ultra high end unit with 8 GB RAM and 500 GB storage. Seeing how Microsoft mistakenly listed Snapdragon 830 on the support list for Windows 10 Mobile, so that’s probably the CPU inside.

I also expect a kickass back camera… This may just be the last hail mary or swan song of Microsoft Mobile.
