The images show a wraparound display, which is there to allow for controls to be fixed on both sides. As for the form factor, it has a striking resemblance to the current flagship model, indicating that the designer doesn’t think Apple needs to do too much there.

We just love the controls on the side, and imagine what you would be able to do in the place where just volume buttons were present before.
