IPhone 5 Concept, and Thank You
-
Long time no post!
I've been very busy with AS Levels... last time I was here, I was showing a semi-complete house.
I decided the house would never be completed. I started it years ago, and since then I have learnt new skills and changed my mind over things so many times. I was going into so much detail in certain areas, and it was seeming like the Forth Bridge. So, I may come back to it, but it is on back burner indefinitely.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about you can check these posts: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=42169, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=38267
I am not a big part of this community, so most of you will have no idea who I am, lol
I've been lurking though, and mainly going back through some old posts I found via google. I have to say, I love how many people put free plugins up! This truly is a great community, and I hope it is not at all disrupted by the fact Google is selling Sketchup.
I do have something to show you, this is the gallery after all
The underlying point is, I couldn't have got close to making this without the helpful posts and plugins I've stumbled upon here. So thanks, everyone!

What I've changed relative to old iPhones:- Aluminium back - feels like the best next step, dunno why.
- curved 4.0" screen - based on many, many rumours.
- 7.75mm thick - they like to be the thinnest.
- 3D camera - based on rumours that apple are making something with a 3d screen. maybe more likely to be in iPhone 6 though
- Added camera button - Apple want us to take the iPhone seriously as a camera, and people do... they need a button!
What I've kept the same:
- Same height and width (118x59mm).
- Same screen ratio.
- Button layout, other than added camera button..

Great images. If the new iPad is any indication though, I'd guess the new iPhone will have slightly different dimensions. Got to keep the third party accessory manufacturer's in business you know.
-
Thank you
If they ahnge the dimensions, that will mean two things:- gasp
- I might finally switch from Android
It's always fun trying to second-guess what companies like this will do.
The other interesting matter for the iPhone 5 - if they switch to 4.0" screen, they will either have to raise to 1024x768px - that's the same as the old iPad and would be the second time they've changed the iPhone resolution - or they would have to lower the famous 326ppi.

Please don't let Adobe buy SU!it is allready sold.

Trimble interesting! Hope they sort out the messy 3D warehouse. Unusual for Google to sell and not buy.
Also great model I really hope the iphone takes on the aesthetic of the ipod touch. Your very good for an AS level student, I wish I had SU when I was studying.

Nice concept mate! And YEP you are right about the camera shutter button, amazes me that this hasn't been an inclusion to all preceeding models, come on it seems obvious, sucks without it!

that's why you're not designing apple products.
.. i kid, I kid
but yeah, I highly doubt they'll make a separate button for the camera. apple tends to take things like that away instead of add more..
the vol+ is a camera button.. it's good like that. -
Thank you all
Google, I think, found they were loosing money for sketchup. They got a bit of ad money in the warehouse, and better integration with google earth, but they also had to pay for servers and developers.
I do consider myself very lucky to be surrounded by all this accessible software at a young age.
I didn't realise the vol+ button was camera! I don't have an iPhone myself. What's digital zoom? But yeah, they do tend to remove buttons where possible[xxl-img:2umf366m]http://i.imgur.com/tFXmh.jpg[/xxl-img:2umf366m]
Here are the three ideas I have come up with so far, with the real iPhone 4 at the back. The furthest I came up with a while ago, it's aluminium unibody, but I rejected it because it looks bad - the aesthetic makes it look thicker than it is, and it feels strange to have the screen as a seperate panel to the front.
In the middle is one that looks like a fat iPhod touch, with an anodised back. I also increased the dimensions to 120x60mm. In the end, the front one was my favourite. -
I'm waiting for the iPhone5. I too hope that will have a aluminium back and a 4 inch screen but I doubt it will be as "curved" when seen from the front. It looks too much like the latest Samsung.

It's easy to recognize an Apple product!
Curvature Tengency G1 is forbidden by Jonathan Ive!
So I am not sure that your concep will be accepted

two finger pinch/spread (which also brings up an onscreen slider)..
regardless, digi zoom is a hoax better to just crop afterwards if need be.. -
Interesting thoughts on the curves.
It is true that Apple tend to stay away from non geometric curves - their toolset seems to consist of straight lines, sectors of circles, and right angles. In fact I'm quite a big fan of this policy. So I was quite nervous about generating the body of the phone with nurbs.
I don't know why, but I suddenly decided that the back would probably be curvy, and the front should continue being glass. That's when I came up with the one in the middle. However what I came up with is not what I had envisioned. I had thought of a more "blobist" back - which I then realised was like the iPhone 3G.
So I was in a situation where what I was imagining was a thinner iPhone 3Gs with a smaller bezel and aluminium finish, and what I was getting was a fatter iToucch with a matte back.
So, what I realised was, there have been rumours of a curved screen a while back. Samsung already had curved screens, but at the time of designing this, they only had concave sreens. So Apple would most likely go for convex. Therefore, I decided to make the whole thing a blob.In hindsight, you're right, apple rarely go for curves like that. it's possible that the curved screen is a complete fabrication, or that the curve will be different.
In fact it's very likely the real iPhone 5 will looks like the iPad. but that woulda been boring to render.Anyway, this will make the product launch a whole lot more interesting for me.

Agreed, can't beleive people still fall for that.
Though I guess it's ok for video, since the sensor has considerably more pixels than are being recorded. -

Ive really is getting very very good, that is so clever.
