Apple is widely expected to jump into the wearables space later this year with a smartwatch of its own. Dubbed the iWatch, expectations are high that Apple will unveil a device that stands head and shoulders above the current crop of devices. What if it employed Rolex to help with that ambition?

Concept Sunday: The circular Sero smartphone
Let’s face it, smartphones are stuck in a bit of design rut. As much as manufacturers try to distinguish their devices one from another with the use of different materials, chamfered bezels, and various other small touches, most smartphones today all use a candybar slab form factor and share much in common. Flexible displays and other components promise to break […]
Concept Sunday: Another look at the Apple iWatch

Concept Sunday: Imagining the Apple iPad back in 2004
Concept devices are a lot of fun (that’s why we have our Concept Sunday feature every week after all). They’re a glimpse into what we think or want our future to be like. Some are oddly prescient and some are just a little too out there but they capture our vision for the future at a moment in time. Imagining what the […]
Concept Sunday: What the Nokia Lumia will look like in 2020
The smartphone is ripe for a real revolution. While manufacturers push the boundaries of what our favourite mobile devices can do each time they release a new one, most are evolutions of past models. In fact, we could argue that the last real smartphone revolution dates back to 2007 when Apple unveiled the original iPhone. Flexible displays and other flexible […]
Concept Sunday: Apple iPhone 6 concept based on leaked schematics
Following the leak of a schematic diagram that showed alleged dimensions of an upcoming Apple iPhone device, a Japanese magazine printed (and reprinted by Macotakara) the schematics for two iPhone models. According to MacFan, the images show the iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch display and a larger device with a 5.7-inch one. Nowherelse.fr then obtained two more illustrations, again showing 4.7-inch (model […]
