Hm, my HTC has a front surface that is both black and clear. I mean, how could I see the screen if it doesn't have a clear front surface! The only difference is that there is a whitish border around the front surface.

My front surface is rectangular (16:9), flat and has rounded corners. So, apple wants tablet makers to make a 16:9 device that doesn't have a rectangular surface? And it must have ridges?

So, Apple has the 4:3 format. Which is more square than rectangular. All 16:9 tablets are more rectangular (simply do the math...) than square but this would be forbidden by Apple?

People like symetrical forms. It's part of our nature. And Apple wants to be the only one that is allowed to make symetrical forms?

In general, people like clean designs. This has always been the goal for all gadget makers. Apple would forbid this?

No bezel is unusable. And different-looking bezels that not uniform won't attract people, never would.

So, Apple would love for other tablet and phone makers to make such an ugly phone, that would go against all what people find attractive, that people simply wouldn't have a choice if they wanted an attractive device.
