Photos: Apple iPhone concepts
Apple may have lost the "<a href="http://www.cnet.com/4520-13271_1-6685260-1.html">iPhone</a>" trademark to Linksys, but all signs point toward the company introducing a cell phone in early 2007. Through 2006, scores of iPhone concept images have appeared online, some of which have been touted as the real thing. So until we hear an actual Apple announcement, take a look at some of the concepts.
Some of the first concept images to emerge were of these silly looking flip-phone designs in green and red.
Slider designs, like this rather unsightly model with too many buttons, were popular in many iPhone concepts.
This simple concept took a standard iPod and added a touch screen. And wouldn't you like to have a phone book with Bill Gates' and Steve Jobs' numbers?
We wouldn't flip over this design that features a quirky iPod Click Wheel.
Add a slider design with a hidden keypad to an iPod, and you get this camera-equipped concept.
Apple gets into the thin-phone craze with this flip concept.
A circular keypad surrounding an iPod Click Wheel makes us think of the Nokia 3600.
A phone and what appears to be the coming video iPod are combined to form this concept.
We'd expect better from Apple's design department than this dull candy bar concept.
This black slider concept features a Cingular logo and a keypad from the Motorola Razr. It's not especially pretty, no, but at least it's not the Motorola Rokr.
This slider concept parts in the middle to reveal a camera lens and a speaker.
Just kidding; this wasn't really meant to be an iPhone concept. But it's amusing nonetheless.
