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.
