Apple fan fiction is more popular than ever and usually takes the form of mockups of designs for new products and alternate designs for existing products.

Fabio Basile dubbed it iPhone 6 Infinity and made a Photoshop template that others could use to make further mockups. More mockups from them and others followed: Side Screen, another Photoshop template, a wrap-around social app, an alternate lock screen, and these subtle side indicators.
