Gah. Apple these days is everything wrong with hardware design. Your computer is not a fashion accessory. Neither is your phone for that matter. No one has ever seen someone poking away at their phone and said “Wow! That phone makes you look pretty!”
That sad part is that fashion over function is obnoxiously successful in the marketplace, and as a result lots of companies try and follow. I would kill for a phone maker to say “fuck it, the form isn’t going to be that hurt if we make this thing a few mm thicker.” and then proceed to make a phone that can take a hit and has battery life to put everyone else to shame. But no, instead we will get continuously thinner phones with bad battery life that explode into a million pieces if dropped As a result everyone stuffs them into a big bulky case, defeating the entire point of a thin phone, but the reviewers get to line them up and squint, deciding which phone is a few microns thinner.
Blah.
