The iScroll

Sometimes it’s hard for people to get an accurate sense of what the future holds for certain technologies. For instance, could the average person three years ago have imagined that something like the 3G iPhone could exist now?

It is for this reason I present this vision of the iPhone circa 2015

Contact Lens Display

The most interesting feature of the iPhone 2015 is its first generation Contact Lens Display System. If there’s one thing that iPhone users believe themselves to be, and that Apple stresses all the time, it’s that people who use Apple products are independent and unique. It is for this reason that an eyeglass display was thrown out. No iPhone user would be caught dead wearing the same glasses as over ten million other iPhone users. The fact is, glasses are cumbersome. They gather dirt, get lost easily, and make sports rather difficult.

The Power System

Despite advances in battery life extension, it’s amazing how quickly surfing the Internet or making a phone call will drain the battery. For this reason, there are three new energy-producing features on the new iPhone. While these components will not make the iPhone fully self-powered, they will make it so you only need to charge your phone once a week instead of everyday (and no, these aren’t like the awkward knee-power generators)

Communication

Finally we reach the most hypothetical components on the iPhone of 2015 — the speaker and microphone.

You have to admit, bluetooth headsets are not only a pain in the ass, but they also make you look like a Star Trek reject.

Consisting of a simple micro-speaker about the size of a pinhead, this little guy comes on a sheet of sticky-paper containing 24 of them. Peel them off and stick it onto the inner part of your ear at the front, keeping it hidden from roving eyes. You may have seen a similar concept idea over at theDesign Incubation Centre with their Touch Hear concept. Powered by body heat, this speaker is produced cheaply enough that if you happen to lose it you won’t take a hit to your bank account.
