The consumer electronics market can sometimes be even more excited about a product concept than an actual device, but with this next-gen iPhone 7 concept it's easy to see why. Designed to be a borderless smartphone that doesn't restrict the user with physical edges, the iPhone 7 concept has a 2K screen and a powerful M10 co-processor that would be used for tracking fitness data.
Packed with 3GBs of RAM, the iPhone 7 concept does away with the physical home button and hides it within the screen to allow it to be used only when desired. Equipped with iOS 10, the next-gen iPhone would also feature a USB Type-C port, which would do away with the current Lightning connector.
