iPhone 8 concept shows lavish all-screen metal & glass tribute to the original iPhone

Designer Martin Hajek is your go-to guy when it comes to the flashiest, snazziest concepts of upcoming smartphones imaginable. Somehow, many of them appear perfectly plausible, too – if you drop the larger than life bloom that's part of his signature style and most 00s video games. 

Reportedly, Apple is doing something in a similar style to honor the iPhone that launched 10 years ago and ruined feature phones for everybody. It had this exact clownfish and jellyfish wallpaper, too! Hajek also honored the rumors of a stainless steel frame and glass back, making for an all-around informed showing.

Apple could certainly pull of a design like this if it gets the under-glass fingerprint scanner tech sorted out in time. Samsung couldn't and had to make do with a finger scanner whose placement on the Galaxy S8 is... less than ideal. We can't say we like the larger top bezel, though. Go all-screen or bust! We also hope Apple chooses a subtler shade of pink than Martin did, because the iPhone's refined shape and the ditzy Barbie look don't really vibe together.

Now, let's shut up and leave you with the renders already. There's actually 36 of them, so if you're really into Martin's vision, head to Computer Bild and check out the rest.
