  • Time to rip off that boring, plain ol' aluminum lower case, and get to the good—

  • What is this new devilry? Cables!? A battery and logic board in the lower case?

  • The standard pop-open-at-the-hinge practice still holds, but then the cables go taut. Then you have to hinge the case back forward to access the connectors and open the case.

  • What is this, a mid-gen iPhone?

  • The standard plastic clips of old are replaced with futuristic pegs and weird spring clips.

  • "If it ain't broke, make it out of, like, three more metal pieces in funky shapes." — Some Apple designer, we assume.
