We've seen plenty of weird and wonderful iPhone concepts over the last few months, from folding phones to flipping phones (and everything in-between). This latest offering isn't exactly the most radical, design-wise – but it could be huge for notch-haters.

Long considered a blight on the supposedly "all-screen" display of contemporary iPhones, the notch isn't exactly popular – and its removal is at the top of many a designer's wish list for the future models. While this concept doesn't do away with it entirely, it's certainly a novel take on the question of where to house all that front-facing camera tech.
