Phone of 2020 : APPLE's BLACK HOLE


     Let me present you with a concept designed by French designer Josselin Zaïgouche, made for Apple, who are hoping to launch it by 2020. It’s aptly called Black Hole, and it incorporates holographic and levity techniques to control its functions, applications and usage.


About black hole:          
                                    
     The Apple Black Hole phone includes 4 components: a charging base, the Prism, the Black Hole handset itself and giftbox. The device gets interesting when you try to use it, since it’s based on a centre ball that will levitate when you open your hand. Also, via holographic technology you’ll view all controls and the handset’s interface and you’ll be able to interact with them in mid-air.
                        You will be able to connect the Black Hole to a charging base and use the device as a desktop unit, still with the unit projected in the air. This is probably the most advanced Apple design I’ve seen in years, but still better than the iPhone and iPad.
                        This phone consists of a shiny black ball, which levitates mid air once the device is activated. This ball, then projects out holographic images of applications, which can be controlled using the other hand. Neat, isn’t it? To add more variety to the usage of Black Hole, it is designed in such a way that once it’s connected to the charging base, it can be used as a desktop device – opening up a plethora of possibilities, especially in confined spaces. It’s like a crystal ball, without the big fat crystal, and it’ll just fit in the palm of your hand.
