iPhone 7 Has Everything but the Kitchen Sink in This Parody Comic
At some point during the many interviews with Steve Jobs, he said he doesn’t care about marketing and studies, because he knows better than the consumer what the consumer wants. This strategy also seems to apply under Tim Cook’s rule, but what if Apple actually listened to its fans? This is what would happen:
This humorous parody render is created by Joy of Tech and includes every potential feature one would dream of on the iPhone 7. It’s been viral over the past days, so I’m sure you’ve seen it. This model has everything, from the hand strap, to the shatter proof acrylic screen protector and even a crazy View Master VR slot, whatever that is.
The Android/iOS switch is the ultimate kitsch and the pull out antenna has no purpose whatsoever. Some of the technologies included here seem antique, like the rotary controls, 8track player, RCA jacks and of course the punchcard reader. And don’t get me started on the huge amount of ports. The floppy drive and CD burner are also a tongue in cheek statement and of course at the back there are other goodies like a subwoofer and Super 8 film projector.
But does it make fries?

Samsung Galaxy S7 3D Mockup Created by @OnLeaks and uSwitch (Video)
I’ve seen may share of Samsung Galaxy S7 concepts, but this is more than that, it’s a mockup based on real leaks and sources. Created by uSwitch and @OnLeaks, the device gets a few renders below and a video after the break.
This time it seems that the back side is curved in the same way as the back of the Galaxy Note 5, feeling a bit like a luxurious piano for example. The core of the design stays the same as the one of the predecessor and it’s also similar to the one of the Galaxy Note 5, albeit more compact and rounded. A change here would be the thickness, that’s strangely increased.
The Galaxy S6 was a 6.9 mm thick device and the Galaxy S7 is rumored to be a 7.9 mm thick model. That extra thickness may be associated to a bigger battery, or more components and mechanisms inside. Sources talk about a 5.1 inch diagonal for this smartphone, so in this field not much changes from the predecessor. A slight curved of the screen edges, popularly known as 2.5D is included here.
