I find it vaguely amusing that the author (and apparently yourself) claim that using simply rounded corners would be a "lack of care and detail". I mean if you prefer Apple's fancier corners then great, but shaming a manufacturer for using a perfectly serviceable rounded corner is a bit much IMO.

- simias 5y agoFor sure, but what details matter is often subjective. I've looked around my desk and surely the vast majority of the objects here use the simpler rounded corner but I really fail to see how it's bad craftsmanship. If anything I'd argue that for professional appliances the circular corners convey a less organic, more industrial look that feels, to me, more suitable. But then again, I enjoy brutalist architecture, so you can probably safely discard my opinion.
