Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual Apple Phone 15 Imagines a Mobile Device for 2023

— February 21, 2022 — Tech
The conceptual Apple Phone 15 has been designed by Antonio ADR De Rosa as a piece of mobile technology from the Cupertino-based tech brand that imagines a potential update for the year 2023. The smartphone highlights a port-free design along with an impressive series of cameras on the rear that are flanked by a scroll wheel on the side for easily changing audio and perhaps even cycling through pages. The device is imagined in a 6.7-inch size for the Apple Phone Max and a 6.1-inch size for the Apple Phone, which both feature a Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion+ for a 144Hz refresh rate.

The conceptual Apple Phone 15 imagines a notch-free design that opts instead for slim, sliver-like sections at the top and bottom to hold essential cameras, sensors and microphones alike.
Trend Themes
1. Port-free Design - An opportunity for smartphone manufacturers to create a seamless design that eliminates the need for ports and cables.
2. Multi-use Scroll Wheel - The introduction of a scroll wheel as a feature on smartphones could allow for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
3. Notch-free Designs - As the trend of removing notches and ports from smartphones continues, manufacturers may consider exploring new designs that utilize slim, silver-like sections to house essential components.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Manufacturing - Smartphone manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of scroll wheels and notch-free designs by creating new mobile devices that are more intuitive and user-friendly for consumers.
2. Camera Manufacturing - As smartphone cameras become more advanced and take center stage as a primary feature, camera manufacturers may consider collaborating with smartphone makers to integrate their technology into mobile devices.
3. Display Manufacturing - The trend of high refresh rate displays, such as the 144Hz Super Retina XDR display seen on the Apple Phone 15, creates an opportunity for display manufacturers to develop new screens that meet the demand for high-quality visuals on mobile devices.
