That little microphone hole at the bottom is not lined up with the other items nor is is evenly spaced out like on the iPhones. Its bugging me.
Maybe it works better that way. Apple's been known to put form over function.
For the price you pay? Hell no. They better make it look good and work well.
What about it?
It doesn't look like anything to me. (westwood reference, but also it does not look like anything to me)
Ultra sleek design.
Looks like my iPhone and every other phone since the iPhone was released - am I missing something? The minimalist slab with a screen isn’t exactly unique any more?
except it has a zoom lens.

also, being able to use the phone as a screen via cable vs latency ridden wireless connection as a video screen is interesting

That’s not part of the design, that’s part of its capabilities.
