A 3D designer and self-proclaimed futurologist by the name of Zarruk Taiseer has dreamed up some astounding Apple iPhone-themed eye candy for us to feast our eyes on, as we continue our seemingly endless wait for the Cupertino giant to make a move into the world of foldable (or flippable) smartphones.
What makes Taiseer’s creation is all the more intriguing is the fact that his flippable “iPro” doubles as an AirPods case. The renders show that when opened, the phone reveals a re-imagined version of Apple AirPods—which Taiseer calls the “AirPods Pro mini.”
While still vaguely reminiscent of Apple’s actual original AirPods design, these are decidedly more rectangular (still avoiding sharp edges, as per Apple’s style). Interestingly, their stems nest up inside your outer ear, rather than pointing down like regular AirPods models.
Pretty dang impressive-looking isn’t it? Although we don’t see something like this realistically ever catching on, as the design doesn’t extend into one larger screen for consuming media—as we are used to with other flippable or foldable devices—it is certainly something to look twice at. Kudos to Taiseer for his 3D design prowess, and we look forward to seeing more of these!
