> Apple doesn’t have the patent on this.

But they do: D558,757 and D670,286. Don't people remember Apple v. Samsung case?

Your links explicitly refer to the complete designs of entire devices, not a kind of curve.

Afaik those patents don’t describe continuous curvature, but just general curved bodies.

Apple’s use of continuous curvature in iPhones came around iOS 7 iirc. I might be mistaken but I think they’re subtly but consequentially different subjects.
