Prior to the iPhone 8 release date, some designers are already coming up with some interesting concept designs for the highly anticipated smartphone.
One of these concept designers is Iskander Utebayev, who already released a unique-looking iPhone 8 concept. According to SlashGear, Utabayev envisioning an iPhone that has a much larger screen display while maintaining the iPhone 7's round edges.
The screen itself is so wide that it wraps around the edges of the phone. This is gives the iPhone 8 concept a much wider angle than what the iPhone 7 originally had. It also appears to be slimmer than iPhone 7's dimensions.
However, the most interesting part of Utebayev's concept is the fact that his camera his inserted behind the Apple logo. The camera is placed behind a transparent glass that forms Apple's trademark logo.
The sleek and glossy concept phone comes with two LED flash bulbs sitting above the Apple logo. The entire phone is wrapped in glass which creates lots of reflection if the display isn't turned on.
The glass encasing also makes the camera nearly invisible as it cleverly disappears behind the glass logo. This gives the camera placement another purpose instead of being just an obvious marketing maneuver.
Overall, Utebayev's concept offers some interesting design choices. Apple could even take cues from Utebayev's concept design in their future phone line-up.
Meanwhile, the real iPhone 8 might offer something new, one that isn't even related to the phone's design. According to Yahoo, the upcoming iPhone 8 might cost a whole lot more than its predecessor.
The source mentioned that Apple has recently been increasing its prices for each succeeding iPhone model. While Apple stayed consistent with its pricing for the iPhone's base model, the upgraded models received a significant price hike.
Sources revealed that the demand for Apple's iPhone is still quite high. Statistics indicate that the market still holds the iPhone branding valuable enough for consumers to spend more on it.
Ever since the debut of iPhone 7 Plus, the source specified that there's more room now for Apple to increase their smartphone prices than ever before. However, the tech company justifies the price of each iPhone entry by always improving on the iPhone's capabilities.
