To quote the author it "looks cool"
The pursuit of form over function (and sometimes to the detriment of function) plagues the phone and other industries.
The original iPhone had both form and function (and it looked cool) but the pursuit of form led to the iPhone 4 where the function of the antennas was impaired, giving us "you're holding it wrong." And it continues to get worse. Glass backs that shatter, folding screens that break, changes in connectors that require new peripherals, the list goes on. And and to that functions that have been removed like replaceable batteries or memory cards.
Give me more Bauhaus and less Wowhaus.
