Apple has become to the world‘s most powerful tech company attributes to the great success of the iPhone. Maybe you ever image what iPhone could have looked like if iPhone was launched during the company’s early development.

The enterprising designer Pierre Cerveau has tried to answer this question by giving us the concept of‘Macintosh Phone‘, the concept was borrowed from a handset called the Macintosh 512k of 1984.

Here are the details what iPhone might have looked like in 1984.

The handset includes a hybrid rotary or click wheel, the users can dial numbers or scroll through the menu on the small CRT display. It was close to the devices made during that time.

It referred to the age-old Macintosh as the phone has 512 of memory, but you may not be able to use much with the phone except making calls due to the lack of mobile internet and touchscreens in the old days.

The phone was also imitated to make a Mac in the rear of it, it was also made the fan vents for cooling, but there was only one port made due to limitation of technology.

Even the Macintosh Phone’s specs becomes useless today, but they could be the important details for us to sought after the items existed if Apple had launched it back in 1984.
