Project 6m : Concept iphone with thinner and curvier body

iPhone has come up with a interesting iPhone concept named Project 6m. The concept iPhone has many different elements, including the removal of the traditional volume rocker and home button for more innovative touch sensors.

Features and Benefits

• Thin body, only 5.5mm thick. 20% thinner than the iPhone 5.
• Unique body shape and chamfered edges providing better ergonomics and feel.
• Touch Sensors for Volume, On/Off, Home.
• Dual-face speakers (on screen face and on bottom of phone).
• 18 megapixel camera with low-light mode and panorama feature.
• Ring Flash on back for professional lighting effect.

Designers Lester Mapp and Jon Liow of designed by m, had no real motivations in the reason behind the development of the iPhone 6m conceptother than they felt like doing it. In addition the two feel that the upgrades make sense and work to improve the functionality of the phone.

One thing unclear about the design is the size of the screen, as the team failed to mention it in their notes. Judging the display’s width and length (which is a guess), I’d like to think this screen is at least 5-inches, as it kind of resembles the dimensions of Samsung’s new flagship phone the Galaxy S 4.

What do you think about the Project 6m? Would you buy an iPhone that looks like this, and packs these features?
