I'm just asking for a tapered edge :D The new bulbous rounded edges almost seem passive-aggressive from apple. Yes, prioritize power, and with whatever remaining ability to make things pretty that you have, utilize it. When you can but don't, that's unattractive. Is there a specific reason for the brick look? I'm not sure that we know there is.

I'd say that given no teardowns have yet been released, its also true that we know there isn't a specific reason for the brick look. They crammed a lot of battery in there, big, slow, quiet fans, six speakers, and the SoC is something like 4x larger than the base M1.
I think the rounded looks nice, but it is unbalanced compared to the top - the thing should be MORE brackish in my opinion.
