Pocket Computer Smartphone Concepts

This iPhone 16S Concept Reimagines the Aesthetic of the Device

— May 6, 2024 — Tech
The iPhone 16S concept has been designed by Phone Industry as a reimagining of the smartphone from its present form into something more like a pocket computer. The device is characterized by its cubic construction that's accented by two metal accents on the top and has an expansive speaker on the rear to provide immersive audio experiences. The smartphone has a Capture Button on the side to provide a tactile feature that users can press to quickly capture footage or photos.

The iPhone 16S concept could call to mind the aesthetic of the Rabbit R1 and identifies how brands are taking steps to transition the smartphone into its next iteration. This comes at a time when consumers have come to know what they can expect from their mobile devices and crave a new kind of user experience.
