5 Great iPhone 5 Concepts [PICS]

With huge speculation of the upcoming iPhone 5 everyone is exited to see what the final design and specification will actually be. For many months now there have been romours flying about about what the latest and greatest iPhone will look like. The release date for the iPhone 5 is set to be near the end of 2012.

With all these romours going around many people have come up with iPhone concepts which perhaps could be the next iPhone 5. Most of these probably do not look anything like the next iPhone but here is 5 great iPhone 5 concepts.

This design published by Gizmodo is what is probably going to most resemble the iPhone 5. This design is based on the prototype cases that we saw not long and actually looks great. This concept is very similar to the iPhone 4s design, however now has a 4 inch screen which many people are predicting to see on the new iPhone. The casing of this concept is made out of a nice metal shell on the side and back, as well as as plastic.

This not so realistic design sports a tapered edge which is designed to give a comfortable feel to the phone itself when it is being held in the hand. It is also much thinner than previous iPhone models and also has a greatly improved screen. The design itself is shown in both white and black and looks gorgeous in both. If you look near the bottom of the device you can see that it has a speaker on the left an the right of the device.

This concept, labeled the new iPhone is a major over-hall compared to any other iPhone we have ever seen. The speakers are on the back of the device  and the huge screen size is great. This is not very realistic to expect apple to have a screen this big after many other sources have reported a 4 inch screen. Furthermore this design shows a new dock at the top of the device for notifications, as well as a headphone jack in the centre.

This is an unusual and fantastic design for a mobile which has a transparent screen so that you can see where you are walking whilts you are looking at the screen. I can not see this technology coming to us anytime soon.

This design by 9 t0 5 Mac is a mock-up based upon the suggested romours of the new iPhone. This design has extra home screen icons for applications as well as a bigger screen. The home button has also changed the shape according to many suggested romours, however is is still very similar to the iPhone 4s and maybe just a bit too similar.
