More 3rd Gen iPhone Concepts: The Ultra-Thin!
Fonzman1984 sent this one our way a couple days ago, posted on a French-language website fakeorreality.com, though it’s spread far and wide since (and thanks everyone else for the tips!)
Current rumors have it Apple will keep the third gen iPhone looking pretty much the same as the current iPhone 3G, but like with previous concepts, what do you think of this approach?

I like it.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Nice design, but i dont like the placing of the home button.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:50 am
This one I hope is real and I don’t mind where the Home button is placed in this concept picture. Now I think whatever they come out with will disappointment me since I really like this look.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:55 am
These look really nice, though I could see accidental pressing of the Home button being more of a problem with that placement.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I like how the screen fills the entire front. Wouldn’t mind that on the next gen iPhone, but I doubt it.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:56 am
lol same with me big Willie. This is just ****
June 6th, 2009 at 10:57 am
This is the iPhone Video I want! I doubt it will be – but one can hope.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Ok se-x-y is blurred out? Come on
June 6th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Too thin for me. I want something I can use for extended periods of time with ease. I use a touch right now and of I am on it foe a while, my hands start to hurt
June 6th, 2009 at 11:00 am
The home button looks barely usable.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:08 am
If you look at the very top of the phone next to the speaker theres a cam with a green light on… Why would it have the green light on when your on google Maps?!
June 6th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Doesn’t look real and the home button is not nicely put.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Ok, you guys need to admit you’re spreading rumors just to spread the hype, or actually read the articles that go along with these pictures. These pictures were made by a German student for one of his design classes as a concept. Not real.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Hmm….looks a little like an Ipod Touch, no? I would expect the tech to improve to a point where a phone chipset could be put into the form factor of a Touch.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Um, it’s clearly labeled as a concept, it’s obviously not real. Jeez. We’re just asking what you folks think of the concept. Interesting, horrible, what?
June 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
i like it personally
June 6th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Guys dont for get this is ust a concept. Concept=idea basicly. But i hope this is what it looks like too.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:31 am
I think they should do it cuz it’s the most beauiful phone I have ever seen and I would love to to have that right there. Absoulutly beauiful!
June 6th, 2009 at 11:32 am
@Rene Ritchie
It fricking sucks. Do some concepts of a new ui. The sliding interface and dock sucks.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:38 am
I think this is one of the best designs yet.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:47 am
It would be fine…except for the home button. That’s horrible.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Hey guys, this is a fake. A german student mocked it up. I really like it though! I think apple should hire him!
June 6th, 2009 at 11:56 am
this might be real. If you google ” iPhone new bezel black” you’ll get that picture of the new all black bezel. If you look closely at that bezel the earpiece is raised and the home button is removed to point of this model.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
It’s a gr8 design but I hope it’s much more durable and stronger than the touch cus like out of 10 2nd gen itouches I see a day 6 are cracked
June 6th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Don’t like it… it’d have more of a heat prob, less space for stuff inside ever if they went that route, prolly more annoying to hold, easier to drop/lose….
June 6th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I like this very much, event it’s only a mockup. I think i will be disapointed at monday, because the new gen phone will look like the old ones
. i wished they came up with a unibody alu case and big oled screen.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
I’ve been following this stuff for a long time and I have to say out of all of the concepts I’ve seen this one is by far the best regardless of the home placement if it actually does look like this I bet that the home button wouldn’t be much of a problem, it fits all of the rumors so it could b highly plauseable, I mean how thin the iPod touch 2nd gen is. Also with all the leaks and the 3.0 os releasing on Monday I wouldn’t b suprised if apple released the iPhone video which is 80% chance of happening if you piece everything togther, watch what happens in the next 48 hours everybody!
June 6th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Approved! I can only dream … Anticipation killing me
June 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
That’s ultra fake it’s a mock up by some student
June 6th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I imagine this being a iPhone HD. Looks like you can put 720p on there =]
June 6th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Wow!!! Tommy likey… Tommy want wingy… No seriously, that is awesome in every way. It like the samsung 7000 led lcd tv had a baby. Is that a rubberrized coating??? Because those flake off over time with heat and moisture! And right now, looking at this picture.. I have both. To critique, I think the back should be a tight knit sponge texture with a black powder coat finish.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Im jus rdy for Mon!!!
June 6th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
T-Mobile Netherlands listed 5 new iPhone models in it’s activation system, see I told you guys, they wouldn’t have this in their systems this early if they wernt releasing Monday or sumtime in the week, iPhone Video FTW, palm pre sit down n be ready to take this *** whoopin apple is about to dish out haha!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I love it!! SO cool. I like the home button too!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
How many of you guys would camp out just to see if they do come out and if they do to buy 1
June 6th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I’m betting not this year, but next. Apple no doubt have a few concepts up there sleeve. I admit this is the one I like best, so I’m hopefull.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Yeah, Starscream… Apple is about to whoop Palm Pre’s azz!
June 6th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I like the design and dont really see a prob with the home button. There has been alot of chatter about the earpiece/speaker being moved up higher on the phone suggesting a larger screen. We will finally know come monday!
June 6th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
pic of the phone via engaget story titled Is this the new iPhone
June 6th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
I would destroy my 3G for that iPhone design. I could see the current model evolving into something like this. Very nice, sleek and ****.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Nice I want
June 6th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Looks like these photos may actually be the third gen Iphone. If you look at the other leaked photos that are out there you will notice the home button is not pictured in any of the photos.
June 7th, 2009 at 1:22 am
I like it! I want new iPhone coming soon in 2010..?
June 7th, 2009 at 11:27 am
This is so the best rumor I’ve seen so far.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I really like it, but, like everyone else, I doubt it
