This iPhone 7 concept design looks a lot like the Galaxy S6 Edge

Third-party concept designs are pretty meaningless, as they’re just an artist’s idea of what a device could look like, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t enjoyable to look at. A recent concept design created by Hasan Kaymak shows us what the iPhone 7 could look like, and it’s obviously inspired in part by the Galaxy S6 Edge. It’s not a very far-fetched design either, unlike many of the concept designs out there. 

Samsung gets a lot of flak for copying Apple, but what if it was the other way around? A new concept design for the iPhone 7 takes some clear inspiration from the Galaxy S6 Edge, and the results are pretty awesome. Created by Hasan Kaymak, these renders imagine an iPhone 7 Edge with no side bezels. Notifications even show up scrolling along the side of the device, though it still looks like one big display. The screen also doesn’t slope down quite as drastically as it does on the Galaxy S6 Edge. This iPhone 7 design features a unibody aluminum frame with a few small design tweaks. The antenna bands on the back of the device look more like the iPhone 5s than the iPhone 6. The speakers also get tweaked to allow for an even thinner form. Overall it’s actually a pretty reasonable design for the iPhone 7, especially compared to some of the more far out concepts we’ve already seen. We’d love if Apple could slim down its bezels, at least a bit, though that probably won’t happen this year with the iPhone 6s. Maybe by late 2016 the company can figure out how to offer a bigger display without increasing the device’s total size.
