iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3.0 or iPhone Nano - A Clamshell/Flip Phone?
When talking about how Apple is gonna take over mobile phone industry, one of the things that is very rarely talked about, is iPhone form factor. There’s a reason we have mobile phones in tens of shapes and sizes, and a number of form factors. Some people prefer to have a clamshell or slider in their pocket.
And iPhone is just one pretty wide candybar, the phone factor that can appeal to many, but may not be suitable to even more.
So can Apple come up with something as appealing as iPhone, in another form factor, e.g. - clamshell.
Yes:
The drawings above, are Photoshop renderings, based on a device described in a recent Apple’s patent application, called “Dual sided trackpad“.
It shows that Apple may indeed be working on a clamshell iPhone device. But with a twist.
