So it turns out the grooves were to separate the side panel into two antennas. Sounds smart, but I still think it’s detracts aesthetically. Let’s see what they look like in the hand.
The Retina Display though sounds stunning! Can’t wait to see it in person. I wonder how soon we can expect to see those on the iPad or even Macs?

Unless you have been offline from the Internet for months, you’ve doubtless seen several photos and videos of the alleged iPhone 4G design. It’s hard to dispute multiple seemingly independent sources all showing the very same design.
Something seems wrong to me though.
It’s the grooves:
Have you ever seen a groove on any Apple product? Unless Jonathan Ive was kidnapped and replaced with an evil twin clone, there’s no way this is a new design signature for the iPhone.
I’m calling bullshit on all the “leaked” photos out there. It’s either a very elaborate PR stunt by Apple, or (much more likely) there were a few pre-production test units without the final design that did leak, and mass copycat blogging blew everything out of proportion.
I bet that we’re all going to be very surprised on Monday morning.
