This Is What The iPhone Would Have Looked Like In The '80s

The Apple iPhone may be the most rocognisable phone in the world, but would what it have looked like if it had been launched 30 years ago?

Designer Pierre Cerveau has answered that question by creating a concept called Macintosh Phone - a retro handset that takes its cues from the Macintosh 512k computer, released in 1984.

Described as the 'the perfect compantion to your Macintosh Plus', the vintage-styled  concept phone sports the familiar rainbow-coloured Apple logo from the 80s and also packs 512K of memory, a tiny amount by today's standards.

Featuring a rotary click wheel and tiny CRT display, rather than the current iPhone 6's touchscreen, the Macintosh Phone also features a massive 9-point charging pin and back vents, presumably for cooling the tiny machine.

While the Macintosh Phone is just a concept and not a real product - if it were real, it's unlikley that it would have been able to cope with even a fraction of what current smartphones are capable of.
