Fan site lets users 'design the next iPhone' — drag‑and‑drop parts, get mock price and presentation
Developer Neal Agarwal launched an interactive site called "Design the Next iPhone" that lets users place smartphone parts on a rotatable 3D iPhone. The tool produces a mock product presentation, a fictional price and a pop‑up praising the design attributed to former Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Developer Neal Agarwal released an interactive website titled "Design the Next iPhone" that lets visitors rotate a 3D iPhone model and drop parts onto its surface.
The tool includes standard smartphone pieces — cameras, volume buttons, a Lightning port, a Home button and an Apple logo — with multiple copies available for unconventional layouts. It also offers additional ports and mechanisms: a headphone jack, an HDMI port, an Apple Watch‑style Digital Crown and a hinge.
The parts library extends to playful and anachronistic items: an Android or pear logo, a rotary dial, an antenna, a classic iPod click wheel, plus novelty accessories such as a steering wheel, a joystick and a Mac Pro "Pro Wheel."
Users can pick the device color, wallpaper and name. Pressing "Present" produces a mock product presentation with a fictional price and triggers a pop‑up featuring praise attributed to former Apple CEO Tim Cook. The finished design can be downloaded as a rotating video.
The site enables free combination of practical and absurd parts; the developer does not provide technical specifications or any integration with Apple or device manufacturers in the material.
