I Wouldn’t Be Surprised If the iPhone 5 Looked Like This

This isn’t the iPhone 5. But it wouldn’t surprise me if, come this fall, it looks very similar to this prototype created by Antoine Brieux. It feels to me like a natural evolution. Check the gallery.

Get Over-the-Air Updates For iOS5 Over 3G

Richard Clarkson designed this conceptual rotary smartphone as a reminder of what we’ve lost with the advent of touchscreens. A familiar subject, but the final product really oozes cyberpunk.
