Apple iPhone: The final design?

We all know that the Apple iPhone has thousands mockups. But according to MacRumors, the design that Steve Jobs would showcase would be this one.

One reliable MacRumors.com source has provided a more detailed description of one of the prototypes for the upcoming Apple Phone. The description has yielded this artist’s rendition of the phone. The phone offers a familiar look to iPod owners, with the preservation of the iPod click-wheel.

The click-wheel is closer to the bottom of the device with the screen taking a vertical orientation. The click-wheel portion of the device reportedly slides down to reveal a traditional numeric dial-pad underneath. The front is black, while the back is chrome like the current iPod.

Such a design brings consistency to Apple portable devices. But still, we feel a bit surprised. Does this phone include a touch-and-play screen and can be voice commanded? At least, if we stick to previous rumored descriptions and patents.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is expected to roll out the first version of its Zune today. (So more to come soon.)
