Apple has been using glass bodies for its recent iPhone models, coupled with a consistent design language, which has led many users to reminisce about the days of the metal-bodied iPhones. According to CNMO, German industrial designer and 3D artist Jonas Daehnert has recently created the latest iPhone concept renderings, enough to excite fans of "metal phones".
Concept Design for the New iPhone
Inspired by the iPad Pro, the design of the new iPhone features an aluminum casing with finely polished surfaces, slightly curved edges, and visible antennas. It bears a resemblance to the aesthetics of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 series.
The camera module of the iPhone 6 is similar to the current iPhone, located at the top left corner on the back, consisting of three lenses and a flash. The antennas are cleverly hidden at the edges, ensuring stable signal transmission while maintaining the overall aesthetics of the device. Against a dark background, the metallic texture of the phone stands out, giving a sense of stability and sophistication.
Unfortunately, the metal casing means users have to bid farewell to wireless charging, and the "bendgate" issue is still fresh in many people's minds. However, each material has its own flaws and unique advantages. Metal has much better heat dissipation than glass, which can make a significant difference in daily use. Additionally, the high rigidity of the metal casing makes it more resistant to surface scratches and wear, unlike glass which is prone to shattering.
Realistically, Apple may never produce another metal iPhone, but there are indeed many who appreciate metal phones. What do you think?
