The Latest iPhone 6 Concept Is Big, Beautiful, But Square?

Martin Hajek is at it again, and has published an interesting iPhone 6 concept design in collaboration with iCulture.nl. As you’d expect the concept shows off an anticipated iPhone handset that features a bigger screen and comes in three colors. But Hajek’s latest concept imagines a radically different design for the iPhone 6 – one that leaves curves behind and adopts a surprisingly square-like appearance.
Hajek’s iPhone 6 concept (pictured below in more detail) actually reminds me a lot of Apple’s iPod nano because of its sharp, square features. The concept imagines a handset that’s even thinner than the iPhone 5s (at 5.6 mm, compared with 7.6 mm), and the Apple logo doubles as the smartphone’s antenna in order to allow for a near-unibody design.
Curiously, though, the pictured iPhone 6 doesn’t add additional icons or rows of icons to the iOS dock or Home screen. Depending on the size increase of the iPhone 6’s screen, this could be something Apple chooses to do; Cupertino did the same with its 4-inch iPhone 5 (though the change in dimensions, which added length to the screen, as opposed to length and width, made this somewhat easier to achieve).
Of course, all of this is mere speculation, but it’s nevertheless fun to see how the present iPhone 6 rumors could materialize in one single product.
As a reminder, Apple is expected to launch a larger, sapphire-coated iPhone handset later this year. It’s been said than an iWatch should accompany this release, and as a result we’ve also heard that no new iPad mini will appear from Apple until 2015.
How do you like Hajek’s concept, would you queue to get your paws on the handset?
