If you’ve lasted this long, dear reader, perhaps I can alienate you now by stating that today, eight months after I first picked up my iPhone 4, I am more convinced than ever that it’s “Zeiss-camera-like” design is basically a misstep, one that will be corrected in a future redesign. The square sides were an aberration - I mean that in the technical sense of the word, a thing outside the norm - and will not be revisited on further handheld products from Apple. The glass back is probably not long for this world either.
Not gonna lie, I miss the design of my 3GS. It just felt better.
Plus, it had a 50% less likelihood of cracking glass when dropped. I would be all for a return to the smooth egg-ish(?) feel of a 3GS with a Retina Display. If that happened, though, we wouldn’t be able to prop up our fancy glass phones to FaceTime or Skype. As much as that sounds silly, I do it a lot. I also think the tech world-at-large would see this as an admission of error on Apple’s part. But, who cares?
A redesigned iPhone this summer would sell like fucking hotcakes. I mean…a redesigned iPhone!
