Apple Inc. is expected to release its flagship smartphone, the iPhone 7 this year and designer Martin Hajek, who is well known for creating some beautiful concepts of Apple products, has now come up with stunning concept images depicting the upcoming device.

Rumors related to Apple's upcoming products are always circulating around the Internet, especially with the launch of the new iPhone and iPad just months away. Following the release of the iPhone 6 towards the end of 2014, Apple has been widely expected to follow up with the launch of the next generation iPhone 7 about 12 months later. The company is also expected to update both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, and release the iPhone 7 in September this year, by when the iPhone 6 would complete the one-year-cycle.

But other media reports have suggested that Apple plans to reduce its smartphone update cycle by half this year, which means that it could launch two new phones in 2015. The company reportedly plans to first release the iPhone 6s and possibly the iPhone 6S Plus with a bigger screen and a pre-installed Apple SIM (universal SIM card), thus pushing forward the launch of the iPhone 7 launch to next year.

Now in his new concept designs, Hajek has envisioned the iPhone 7 with very thin bezels, including the top bezel that houses the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor, while showing the iPhone 7 with a redesigned home button, which now appears to be a part of the display. Hajek's concept designs also show an illuminated Apple logo on the back, which can be deactivated by the user in the settings section.

In his concept designs, Hajek has kept the overall size of the iPhone 7 same as that of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, along with a similar placement for the volume rocker and the ring/silent switch. Hajek's concept also shows the iPhone 7 with a speaker grille on the bottom right, a Lightning port in the center bottom, and a headphone jack in the bottom left, exactly as featured in the current iPhone. The iPhone 7 concept also shows a new camera with two sensors, lenses and a flash, along with a new selfie camera for taking front-facing photos.

Apple has not yet confirmed the design for its upcoming iPhone 7, but Hajek's vivid imagination has certainly made Apple fans very excited about the possible features that could come up in the device.
