iPhone 8 Concept Rendering Created by Techconfigurations

Many analysts and people following Apple trends are convinced that next year’s iPhone will be a special kind of device. They call it iPhone Pro, iPhone X or simply iPhone 8. Anyway, there are some patents related to the device that have been used by Techconfigurations as inspiration to create the concept below.

The result is an iPhone 8 that feels like a cylinder, because it has a curved front and curved back, on the edges of course. There’s a dual camera at the back, but now with the typical integration you’ve seen in all those many renders. It feels more like HTC One M8 rather than Huawei Honor 6 Plus and the flash placement intrigues me.

The facade and particularly the bottom feel a bit inspired by the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, while the back is rather original, since the curves are more gentle than the ones of the Galaxy Note 5 for example. Keep in mind that Apple had that patent for years (shown in the video below) and they’ve yet to use it…Looks nice, but probably won’t happen.
