The smartphone has remained relatively basic in style and form factor for many years, which is now seeing a wave of change permeating the industry with designs like this conceptual iPhone 14 by ConceptsiPhone. The smartphone is imagined with the same form of the original device at first glance, but reveals a secondary display below the main one with a simple slide. This allows the operating system to double up the amount of usable space for typing, multitasking and more.
The conceptual iPhone 14 also eliminates the display notch at the top in favor of a punch hole-style camera to further maximize screen real estate. The rear of the smartphone reveals a flattened camera system for a sleeker, more refined aesthetic over the current generation.
