iPhone Concept Features Top to Bottom, Edge to Edge Display [Images]

Design Martin Hajek has posted his latest concept for the iPhone which pushes the display to the edges of the device. He got the idea via Business Insider editor Steve Tweedie.

One concept looks at making the display wider – by doing so the overall physical dimensions of the iPhone become smaller than that of the iPhone 6. The other concept imagines a display which goes all over the front … with a few holes in the display where the speaker and touch ID/home button go. Making displays with holes (and round edges) is now a possibility thanks to innovative work from Sharp.

Take a look at the concept below and let us know what you think in the comments!

I like the edge to edge idea a lot more than I'd have thought. But you'd need to move the camera to the top edge and use vibrating glass or whatever that patent was for the earpiece, it'd be weird having the speaker in the middle of the display.

If apple can run this concept with their latest "bend " technology then it would the best phone ever made in history. It should bend like 90 degree to take any shot from back. lol

I would reposition the home button (on the side or on the back) to utilize the full top to bottom screen. Hell, let's make the apple logo the home button!

But then you would have to run the phone around every time depending on which finger you use just to each it, but putting it on the back is like wanting the to move the volume buttons to the front.

I like the idea of using the space at the bottom. The front of the phone shouldn't have wasted space. The overly large bezels on the iPhone should have been done away with years ago.

We got our larger screen. It's wasted bezel if it doesn't fill more than 50% of the front, but how much more bug do you need along with less grabbing in the front. In fact what if this makes it uglier?

I don't understand what you're saying. "How much bug"? What's that?

It's funny how these concepts usually turn up true when the next launch happens. Seems like apple just snatches ideas off of Iclarified. Don't get me wrong. I love my iPhone. can't wait what's coming in 2 years. 6s is a given. 7? 8? Can't wait.

Or they ask the fans what they want in the next iphone. Apple only looks for ideas though off anything so if it's on iclarified, it's everywhere.

I think it's just the designers thinking logically.. So there will be a tendency for them to be thinking the same way as those of us in here.

Maybe the s could mean strength (sapphire) or sumberge (water resistance). If there was an s for this, the best to make out of is stretch (even bigger screen).

Well said, but I'd rather see the last two come to life along with "stretch"

The next phone needs a better camera. They've been stuck at 8 megapixels while the rest of the world left that behind 5 years ago. Also they need to make the phone waterproof. No excuse not to. And a minimum of 2 gigs RAM. Sapphire screen would also be great if they can work out the difficulties in manufacturing such screens. It's not so easy to make them, especially something as large as a phone. For watches it's a lot easier, which is why the Apple Watch will have it. Except for the sapphire Apple really ought to have included the other things I mentioned at least 3 years ago.

You can have all the megapixels in the world but if the sensor sucks, megapixels don't matter. That is why the iPhone's pictures and videos are neck and neck with samsung 16 ultrapixel phones. They don't have a censor as good as the iPhone. I'm not saying iPhone pictures are better or that samsung sucks. I hope instead of coming off as an a hole trying to prove which phone is better you see this more as an opportunity to understand why the quality of sensor is better than the quantity of megapixels in a sensor.

Wouldn't there be less to grab? Why not make it just bezel with functionality built on it (in other words, no display but in a way like the Galaxy but not exactly)!

By better phones, you mean phones that have no bezel right? And the ability to take advantage of the menus at the bottom which gives complete access to other shortcuts? I'm not an iSherp but still you sound really fused up

Sorry, I have fat fingers. But I still think that the first guy was wrong. "better phones" and "better apps" make him sound like someone's built an edge to edge phone already.
