The Apple iPhone 8 is still a long time away from going official but the device has continued to resonate on the tech circle every now and then. The flagship will be Apple’s 10th anniversary offering and is expected to pack several innovations, both on the specs angle and on the design aspect.

Based on the rumors we get, mobile phone concept designers usually put up something which would be tailored along the line of the rumors gotten so far. In the smartphone industry, there are elements of facts in almost all rumors so it usually isn’t surprising if the concept look similar to the final design of the product. Thus, based on the rumor gotten so far about the iPhone 8, BGR joint designer Alhasan Husni has designed a concept of the iPhone 8 which could help us understand better the features the Apple flagship is expected to come with.

From the picture, the design is consistent with Apple’s design language except that this one features a curved display which is actually likely to be a 3D curved glass on top of the flat LCD display. The design conceptualizes the entire screen display the iPhone 8 is said to come with, devoid of a physical home button. The controls are entirely onscreen, well, except for the volume and power buttons.

News emanating from Taiwan, Foxconn’s base, indicate that the iPhone 8 may finally be called iPhone Edition and the changes in the design might not be too much as speculated. The device may also likely be launched later than September as it may not enter production until September. September or not, it is still a long way away so we’ll just chill.

Apple’s iPhone 7 flagship launch is still a couple of months away, yet talks have started shifted to the US tech giant’s flagship for 2017. Just yesterday, we got some surprising news that the next flagship from Apple might be called iPhone 8 and not 7s and that the device will likely see the iPhone changing from its customary LCD display to OLED displays supplied by staunch rival Samsung.

Now there’s a new iPhone 8 concept that shows us what the OLED might look like on the 2017 flagship phone. The concept designed by designer Tobias Buettner features an iPhone 8 whose entire looks bear no semblance with the current crop of iPhones and even with the expected iPhone 7.

The concept iPhone 8 sports a Home button integrated within the display, which is new to the iPhone. There’s also a glass cover on the back of the concept phone, similar to that of the iPhone 4. The entire body of the concept iPhone 8 seem to of glass entirely, save for the top and bottom edges which are made of metal. The glass goes all the way over the edges,on the sides where it fuses with the display screen upfront.

The slim and pretty looking concept phone rocks dual cameras at the rear but with much smaller sensors when compared to other dual camera-packing smartphones. Also, there are capacitive buttons at the sides with a small waistline that might pose difficulty accessing.

Since next year marks the iPhone 10th year anniversary, Apple might decide to overhaul the entire iPhone 8 design and this isn’t a bad looking one. But with an all-glass slim body, one wonders how slippery the iPhone 8 concept might be if it actually sees the light of day.
