The Unibody iPhone

· ·

Industrial designer, Don Lehman, on a video of the purported sixth-generation iPhone:

I’m fairly convinced this is what the next iPhone will look like. If true, this design will be noteworthy for being the first unibody iPhone, making it the thinnest, strongest, and lightest housing to date.

Lehman then goes into incredible detail about the specifics of the rumored design and why it makes sense (at least from Apple’s perspective). Great read.

As with all pre-release design rumors, many throw their hands up in disgust - wanting a complete redesign (for reasons I don’t fully understand). Personally, I like the design. A lot. Apple can take my money on day one.1
