hey everyone!

I found 10 different “Apple concepts” so feel free to choose one if you haven’t found anything yet.
 
I wrote which one I plan to use, so I guess really there’s only 9 to choose from.

touchscreen?

MacBook Touch Concept Based on Apple’s Latest Transparent Displays Patent
Gizmodo reader David Mcmillan has sent us a heads-up about his MacBook Touch concept, based on one of Apple’s latest patents: using a transparent multitouch display that can work as a control surface on two sides, both while the device is open and closed. Could this [...]

ilight? really?

If Apple Designed a Flashlight…
Yes, the world has fallen in love with Apple’s clean and sophisticated designs, but is making an Apple flashlight going too far? You bet it is. Still, designer Myoshimasato has developed a concept piece that attempts to illustrate what an iLight would look like if it actually existed. I’ll admit, it [...]

the ieye. just rolls off the tongue.

Apple-ish Prototypes for Non-iPod Gadgets
MacLife spent some time wondering what it would be like if Apple forayed into other gadget sectors and came up with a few concepts, including my favorite, the iEye camera. Unlike most design school renderings, this one is accompanied with a few specs: there’s an imaginary but delicious HD video recording [...]

A postmodern response to the existential threats of urban living.

istick you up

iStick: The iPod touch Tube Concept
The iStick concept is the size of lipstick tube. But it has four touchscreens for four times the Coverflow. I don’t really get the white cube eating up a quarter of the stick though—why not just make the whole thing a solid tube of touchscreen, with the bottom and [...]

mice need to read, too

iView Concept Gives iMac a Curvaceous Bod and Second Screen on Backside
Designer Nuno Teixeira has redesigned the iMac, giving it a curved screen, second display at the back (not sure what that’s good for—educating the mice who live behind the skirting board in the office, perhaps?) and a second webcam. Apparently, he was inspired by [...]

apple-spired?

iBall Digital Camcorder Concept Design

While not officially an Apple product, the iBall certainly looks like something straight out of Cupertino. It’s an otherwise ordinary video camera, but one with an ergonomically sound round, Apple-inspired design that’s sure to draw some attention. All of the camera’s electrical parts are hidden from view, lest they ruin the [...]

the transparency screen looks great when it’s transparent!

Transparent Screen iMac Mockup

Since we’re showing off our new images capability this morning, take a gander at this speculative iMac mockup, commissioned by MacFormat magazine. Obviously the missing tech for this idea is a screen that fades in from totally transparent to a usable opacity, something that is theoretically possible to do with today’s screens—if [...]
