Fan Site Lets You 'Design the Next iPhone'

Neal Agarwal's interactive website "Design the Next iPhone" empowers users to create their own virtual iPhone designs. The site begins with a 3D model of a bare iPhone, which users can rotate and manipulate. Users can freely add or remove components such as cameras, volume buttons, Lightning ports, Home buttons, Apple logos, and even more unconventional choices like a headphone jack, HDMI port, Apple Watch-style Digital Crown, and a hinge.

The website also allows users to experiment with other logos, like Android or pear, as well as more whimsical accessories such as a rotary dial, an antenna, or a classic iPod click wheel. Users can also customize the device's color and wallpaper, and give their creation a unique name. By selecting "Present," users generate a mock Apple product presentation, complete with a fictional price based on the components selected and a pop-up from former Apple CEO Tim Cook endorsing the design.

The finished product can be downloaded as a rotating video. Users are encouraged to visit the site to bring their own iPhone designs to life. This story originally appeared on MacRumors.com.
