I remember reading somewhere that these curves were based on the curves that naturally occur on smooth pebbles due to the abrasion of water, but can’t find a link now (searching “apple” and “pebble” only gives me results about the smartwatch)

- manoDev 11mo agoMaybe! > a squircle doesn’t look like a square with surgery performed on it; it registers as an entity in its own right, like the shape of a smooth pebble in a riverbed, a unified and elemental whole. But I seem to remember reading about Jobs or maybe Ive stating smooth pebbles as a source of inspiration for how objects should feel in the hand – I believe it was in the context of the first iPhone shape.
