  • This portion of the case seems to be geologically interesting; under the headphone jack crust, we find a reflective backing covering an LED board.

  • But wait—those LEDs point up at the display, not toward the indicator bar in the case. That seems weird.

  • The shiny foil layer actually traps the light from the board and bounces it back down to a light guide that shines out through the case.

  • The final stratum is an array of four noise-canceling microphones.

  • Who knows if doubling the microphones will actually double the performance from the standard dual-microphone array.
