Anyone ever notice that the first generation of apple hardware is all curves and flowing? And then as they improve the formula, they always end up squaring up the corners. The most notable exception seems to be the 1st gen iPod.
Can't say I mind, really.

- ihodes 17y agoThat's probably not the body it'll ship in. No way it has seams like that! Gruber on the matter: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/04/18/engadget-iphone http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/04/18/engadget-iphone
- mrcharles 17y agoThat's too bad. I like that look. Ah well.
- ja2ke 17y agoThe iPod is the exception because it started that trend, and Apple has brought everything in line with it. Quick, which Apple product is this: http://www.photoshopnerds.com/images2/xp_icon_01.jpg http://www.photoshopnerds.com/images2/xp_icon_01.jpg It's an... iPhone. No, an iPod. No, it's a Studio Display or iMac turned to portrait orientation. No, its a widescreen MacBook with the lid closed. No its the front-on view of a Mac Pro... It's an Apple TV from the top down which has been squished in Photoshop... It's an Airport Express base station. Or it's a 4G iPhone. Who knows!
- ja2ke 17y agoDoh you're right that the iPod did round off its corners for two or three generations - the one with the four touch buttons, and the first clickwheel designs. They sharpened the edges back up when they went to the "Classic" though.
