Abel Verdezoto's iPhone 6 Accentuates the Rectangularity of the Previous

A couple of generations of iPhones ago, the smooth and curved edges were the defining physical features. The iPhone 5 was rendered much more rigidly, and now, Abel Verdezoto's iPhone 6 anticipates an even sharper design.

The rounded corners of the previous model have been shed of their gentle fillets in favor of a more pointed appearance. This has been softened slightly by the incorporation of chrome detailing around the handset's perimeter, adding a touch of shine to complement the glossy touchscreen surface.

The back and base of Abel Verdezoto's iPhone 6 would be finished in a subtly grainy texture to improve grip and diffuse the impression of any scuffs and scratches. This smartphone concept still includes the characteristic home button, but the dimensions have been increased significantly.
