IPhone 14 Concept Shows Insane Sliding Design

We already have a fairly good idea of what the iPhone 14 will look like when it finally ships next year. And other than the death of the notch for the Pro model, we’re not expecting anything dramatically different from the next Apple phone.

But that doesn’t stop people dreaming, and on the wackier end of the spectrum is this sliding design from Concepts iPhone, which you can file under “cool, but enormously impractical.”

As you can see, this concept imagines a world where the iPhone gets an expanded screen by physically sliding a top panel out to reveal a second one underneath. Only this one only goes part of the way out, like 2010’s Nokia C6-00, rather than expanding to be a full-size second screen like the newly released Microsoft Surface Duo 2.

In the video, the iPhone 14 is shown revealing news headlines, displaying the settings menu and offering a much larger landscape keyboard. It’s all very flashy, but ultimately a bit pointless — an extra panel just for the sake of it.
