There is a large amount of speculation and heated debate over what Apple will do with diversifying its iPhone family. While we know new models are needed, this sector of Apple’s business is arguably the most important, thus making every decision incredibly crucial.

Gizmodo has put together some concept art for a product they call the iPhone Pro. They expanded on an original idea labeled the iPhone Elite by Mat Brady. Both designs shed some interesting light on the possible future of Apple’s iPhone lineup.

A bigger screen, physical keyboard, more storage and a directional pad could intensely change the way people view the iPhone. As a gaming device, it could genuinely compete with things like the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. With the addition of a physical keyboard, users on the fence due to the virtual keyboard would feel a needed sense of comfort.

Rumors about an iPhone nano have been pouring in during the weeks leading up to Macworld. We have our own opinions about the alleged “iPhone nano,” and needless to say, we’d like to see the iPhone family grow in the direction of this concept, not backwards. By introducing new models with more features, increased storage and more powerful processors, current models would be made cheaper. With a firm belief on giving consumers as much as possible, we believe this is how Apple should be diversifying the iPhone family.
