the iPhone possibly the most iconic product in the entire tech realm for many years now of course it's warranted this is a device that sells millions and millions of units and influences the entire industry of course I remember back to the original iPhone the keynote with the touch screen in the pinch-to-zoom it was all so exciting at the time it was it was unheard of to be honest the idea of a computer in your pocket that we would all have one an own one and apps and so on now over the years we've seen so many different versions so many improvements and maybe most importantly we've seen a marketplace that has developed alongside the iPhone of course I'm speaking about Android and Samsung and all these other amazing devices that exist now post iPhone one and right now we ready ourselves for the latest incarnation of the iPhone this device that many of us are referring to is the iPhone 8 even though it might not even be called that we've seen leaks we've seen rumors we've seen mock-ups and models but today's video is not about that next I phone in fact it's about something far more crazy it's about a dream iPhone it's about a dream in general so over the years I've made thousands of videos on all kinds of different tech and you probably realize by this point that myself I'm a tech enthusiast and so when concept creator got in touch with me and said hey what if I gave you the opportunity to make all the design decisions on a potential iPhone on a dream iPhone on what the iPhone might look like if you were the lead designer all right now obviously I don't have the design chops for that but I could at least give him a little bit of direction tell him some of the features and function of the things that I've seen on other devices over the years that I've liked from their concept creator he ran with it started sending me screenshots and initial renders here's how it can look if you want it to be like that oh here's how this feature might go and so on and so from there the project began the dream iPhone the ultimen iPhone my iPhone the way I would make it represented by the most beautiful three-dimensional renders created by concept creator himself so today's video is a culmination of that process of that collaboration between myself and concept creator and that's where this beautiful device that you're seeing here through these three-dimensional renders that's where it came from now the first thing you'll probably notice on this iPhone is a triple lens design because why not it's the dream iPhone I happen to have a background in video making so I'm incredibly familiar with the idea of different vocal ranges represented by different lenses why should we stop at a standard lens and a zoom lens let's add a very important wide-angle lens much like the one you're watching me on in this video it gives you this incredible aspect the ability to include more into your photo so now when you're traveling and you want to capture a landscape or some architecture you've got more to work with you've got a more vast representation of what it might have felt like to be in that environment oh you want to fit extra people in the frame for that photograph no problem flip over to the wide-angle standard zoom and wide angle it's on the dream iPhone after looking at hundreds of phones since starting this job here one of the standout features that I've noticed and always wanted to exist on every device that I looked at was stereo speakers front-facing stereo speakers now of course HTC models have featured this but up until now there hasn't been an iPhone that delivered on this potential so on this device with this design we've managed to cram in two stereo speakers forward-facing no more muffling of the sound no more reflection off the palm of your hand just crystal-clear audio coming straight at your eardrums now another thing you're gonna notice is this angular design many phones and phone manufacturers have moved to a more curvaceous kind of device but unfortunately that type of design leads to a more slippery foam something that you can't quite grip as confidently with this design here I went back to a more angular device kind of similar to the iPhone 5 or se where you can feel that chamfered edge that little bit of bite that it gives to the palm of your hand so you can hold on to it and not wonder if it's gonna slip out I'm sick of slippery foam now of course we're going to pick the ever-popular 5.8 inch display size this of course is the display size on the new samsung galaxy s 8 which I've been using I think it's right in that realm with the correct screen to body ratio you get the best of multimedia without giving up too much for manageability and single-handed functionality now of course my dream iPhone has to have decent battery life so we tried to cram that in there into an incredibly slender design 3000 milliamp hours of juice not bad now also it's got to have wireless charging of course we've heard the rumors that the next version of iPhone will in fact feature wireless charging finally I've been a fan of wireless charging for many years every time I have a device that supports it an outfit my entire space in wireless chargers the next iPhone will have it my dream iPhone has to have it now the next choice is a little bit more controversial and that is the choice of including USB type-c saying goodbye to the idea of the Lightning port no more proprietary connector but one that's supported across the board with all the benefits supplied by USB type-c transfer speeds and quick charging and so on one cable that I can use on all of my devices cross-platform or otherwise whether it's the new MacBook or the new iPhone my dream iPhone I want you as B Type C now one of the features that everyone is wondering about talking about and so on is how in a world with these incredible screen to body ratios how do we use our fingerprints to unlock our devices now as you know for the most part the back of the device has become the de-facto standard location for a fingerprint reader that said it it really seemed like that's going to fit in to the Apple design aesthetic so for this dream phone we're gonna give you what everyone wants and that is of course the fingerprint sensor underneath the display now of course this is an incredibly difficult thing to implement and it's one of the reasons it might not happen in the upcoming iPhone this is tough stuff to be able to develop especially when you're expected to produce these millions and millions of units but it's a dream iPhone so I want it it's a cool new feature and I can't wait to see it now another feature that I've seen on other devices and always wanted on an iPhone is the combination SIM card micro SD card tray so we can have expandable storage you're not stuck with the storage that you buy on day one but now you can stick inexpensive expandable micro SD media into your device this is simple we all it takes is a slight redesign of the tray and the one that we designed here is actually two-sided so it can remain very thin and just like that you're not locked in to one storage method now as an iPhone user you could enjoy a feature that's existed on other phones for a long time now of course the Galaxy s8 can't be the only device that supports Bluetooth 5 Oh since this is my dream iPhone it's got to have it and of course I'd love to pair it up to a couple of DVLA phantoms in case you haven't seen that video before that's probably my favorite bluetooth speaker now the last feature that I'd like to see in my dream I phone is actually a really small one it's more of a tweak to be honest I'd like to see some texture on the buttons not all the buttons but one of the two volume buttons and this is just because often I reach down into my pocket I go to turn it up or down and I waste an extra second I just like the confidence of knowing which button I'm touching now this has existed on power buttons for example on other devices where the volume rocker and the power switch are on the same side of the phone it could be on a volume button it could be on a power button the main thing here is to differentiate the buttons through a little bit of texture I first experienced this concept on a Motorola device I think and from that moment forward I fell in love I'm like of course the buttons not all be identical I should be able to distinguish without looking why not it's my dream life well I get to do what I want now of course there's a lot more that goes into designing and manufacturing a phone then me sitting down with a wish list in passing that off to an incredibly talented guy like concept creator know there's all kinds of considerations that come into play can we do this how much will it cost will people be willing to pay for those features and so on will our profit margins be great enough but that's the beauty of this exercise it's a dream iPhone you can do whatever you want you can put whichever features you would like into the device so how could I not participate now the next question goes to you what would your dream phone look like it doesn't need to be an iPhone it could run Android I want to see your specs what is the perfect screen size how big of a battery what are you willing to give up in order to get some of the things that you want put your dream iPhone down in the description and who knows one day it might exist now before I take off I want to give a huge shout out to concept creator him and I have been going back and forth on Twitter in order to make this video a reality and honestly this video wouldn't have happened without him so if you're unfamiliar with his stuff head over to his channel subscribe and check it out so I had a lot of fun making this video was a nice little change of pace to think creatively about a dream product in this case in a very specific category but I can imagine others so if you enjoyed this concept make sure to leave a thumbs up down below and who knows maybe I'll do another one you
