The Last iPhone

What if you are holding the last iPhone ever made?
What if the 3G-S looked no different than the 3G?
What if the 4G looked no different than the 3G-S and so on...?
What if all iPhones looked the same from now on?

What if it didn't matter that the iPhone could be made 1/16" thinner next year?
What if it didn't matter that the iPhone could be produced in a host of different colors and metallic finishes?
What if the design could not be improved upon?
What if Apple stopped releasing new iPhones?

What if you could expand the capabilities of the iPhone infinitely through software?
What if there were a billion different apps available to download instantly?
What if you could plug-in new hardware modules to extend the capabilities even further?
What if you could send in your iPhone to have the internal components upgraded each year?

What if you subscribed to the iPhone instead of owning it?
What if the iPhone was guaranteed for life?
What if you never bought another phone?
What if Apple really decided to think differently?

Curiosities09 2009
In commission of KFHein foundation

Curiosities09 is a project based on the seventeenth century curiosity cabinets. 6 Cabinets have been designed, each containing a object based on subjects which are getting rare in 2009. In the historic cabinets often combinations are found of (parts of) animals which do not biologically belong together. In these new cabinets this fact is taken as a starting point to create new objects. Each object has its own function. This way we can look back after 10 years and see what the current situation is of these subjects
