iPhone in a completely different way: I bet Apple doesn’t dare

The basic principle of an iPhone has not changed for 14 years now – Apple drives in the well-known fairway and does not take any risks. The “iPro” concept, on the other hand, shows a completely different and also quite crazy way. What makes it so special

Large touchscreen, flat shape … a smartphone doesn’t really make much more difference. We look in vain for experimental forms. To be honest, the days before the Apple cell phone weren’t necessarily better, but they were definitely more varied. The 3D artist Taiseer Zarruk presents a possible way out of the dilemma of persistent boredom.

3 in 1: iPhone, action camera and AirPods charging case

At his “IPro” it is actually a concept for an action camera from Apple. One could have guessed by the name – iPro, GoPro … well, ringing the doorbell? But if you look at it right and think a little further, then Zarruk shows us that here idiosyncratic approach of a flip phone from Apple (Source: Taiseer Zarruk).

Take the base and the look of the camera hump from the iPhone 13 Pro, turn it into a charging case for the “AirPods Pro mini” and put a small touchscreen on the back of it. Et voilà: You get not only an action camera, but also the smallest iPhone in the world, which can be folded down and can quickly charge AirPods. You have to come up with something like that first ?!

Let’s not kid ourselves, this concept has no chance of being implemented by Apple. However, in direct contrast, it shows the lack of ideas in the smartphone industry. Basically there is always the same thing, only a little better. Nobody intends to actually change anything. Somehow sad, there is a lack of courage.

Apple’s customers shy away from change

As a 3D artist, this can of course be achieved quickly, a manufacturer like Apple has a harder time. Probably for good reason Apple does not dare, because even more conservative, slightly modified approaches are punished. The best example is the iPhone mini. Only introduced last year with the iPhone 12 mini, not wanted by customers and thus “burned” for the future. From what is known, the iPhone 13 mini will be the last of its kind. Incidentally, it is also the iPhone, which currently has almost no delivery problems. The demand must be correspondingly low.

At Samsung they are a little more willing to experiment, they sometimes fold and fold, as seen in the video:

Ergo: The Customers probably don’t want an “other” iPhone at all. As ingenious as the idea of ​​such a “jack of all trades” may be, people are not yet ready for it. So it stays with the idea and Apple doesn’t have to take any chances.
