Designer Will Orrock came up with an idea to make a cell phone last forever in aesthetic and functionality. The images below show easily the phone can be upgraded and maintained with its simplistic 4 layer system. Each layer including the OLED screen wrap, high strength polymer housing, printed circuit board and organic radical battery can easily be taken apart for maintenance, repair, upgrade or even recycled. From what I read, the organic radical battery sounds like the winning component with charge times lasting no more than 2 minutes. As far as infinite sustainability goes, I can see from a technical standpoint how this phone can last for a very long time. The real question is will people be able to resist up and coming technologies that may blow away Mr. Orrock’s phone? Regardless, I’d like to see this make it into production.
