Hot off the heels of the iPhone 6S, which has only just released, comes this iPhone 7 Concept that sees the traditional design of the smartphone do away with the home button and perceived screen boundaries. The futuristic device is a response to what industry professionals have been whispering about for quite sometime regarding how the next-generation smartphone will push boundaries in the mobile market.
Created by Marek Weidlich, the designer explains, "I focused on simple design language which is very important for Apple. I designed a curved display without a bezel, and equipped with a software home button. The back rounded body is designed in an aluminium material supplemented with a plastic strip for better holding."
