How would you like your iPhone 6? With a 4.7-inch 1080p display, 10-megapixel camera and slimmer build, please. Coming right up, sir. That'll be $649.99.
A new iPhone 6 concept design by Sam Beckett, fulfills most of our fondest dreams for Apple's next flagship, but also presents a fairly realistic representation of what we can expect when the iPhone 6 finally debuts. The concept design bears the very clever name "iPhone Air," and features that 4-inch-plus display we've all been dreaming about.
In Beckett's design, the iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch display with a 1080p resolution and pixel density of 468 ppi. It's not exactly a stretch of the imagination to think that Apple is getting on the bigger display train, especially since several leaks have indicated that Apple is testing multiple display sizes for the iPhone 6. It also makes sense to see this concept sporting a very, very slight, nearly invisible bezel around the display. Recently leaked photos showed the same design idea and it follows the trend set in motion by the iPhone 5, with its very minimal bezels.
The iPhone Air concept shows a thinner profile of just 7-millimeters thick. Although it may not be thin enough to earn the title "iPhone Air," Beckett's concept makes sense, so far. After all, Apple probably won't make the iPhone 6 that much thinner, at least not as thin as some of the curved design concepts show. Beckett added a sapphire glass display to his design, instead of the traditional Gorilla Glass. This particular design move is perhaps the most believable, given the fact that Apple has recently pushed to open multiple sapphire glass factories, including one in Arizona.
Beckett gave his concept a faster A8 processor and upped the camera resolution for his design, bringing it up from 8-megapixels to 10-megapixels. Otherwise, the iPhone Air concept follows Apple's design aesthetic and doesn't make too many changes, but that is what makes it so believable. Most tech pundits don't expect the iPhone 6 to be revolutionary in comparison with other smartphones that are currently on the market. The most exciting thing about the iPhone 6 will probably be its larger display. Beyond that, not too much is currently anticipated.
Of course, it's early yet and Apple has a lot of time to come up with an even bigger wow-factor than its first-ever foray into making a 4-inch-plus iPhone. In the meantime, though, check out Beckett's concept design in the video below:
