What did the iPhone look like in 2005?

I found these old images from 2005 by surfing Google for images to turn into Wallpapers.

These look like early mock-ups of the iPhone. I'm not sure if these came from Apple or if they were from some other source trying to second guess what Apple was working on. Either way I thought they were cool.

I'm SO glad the iPhone didn't turn out like this... it's cool, but I like the final design MUCH better.

 

[Errk!]

"Applele"?

I found them on a foreign website. I assume that's how they spell Apple in whatever langauge.

Do a Google search for "Applele"... interesting results.

I'll take one of the above as well. Pretty slick but wouldn't have been half and useful as what we wound up with.

Those aren't from Apple.

Several websites held 'iPhone design contests' for people to guess what they thought the iPhone might look like if Apple actually built one. I'll admit back in 2005 I thought Apple building a freaking phone was absolutely nuts.

The last one was the best.

I just found this concept that looks amazingly like the real thing. At least it's the closest concept of all the ones I've seen.

Here are a few dozen...

Yes, this site popped-up over a year ago to speculate what the iPhone would look like. Some cool phones....don't you think?

You can definitely see the RAZR design was influencing the market in 2005. Makes sense because it was the HOT phone that year.
