Re: The front of the iPhone 5 is not flush with the frame
#2Neither side is flush on the 4/4S. By making only one side flush on the 5 it's easier to tell which side you grabbed as you pull it out of your pocket/purse/bag so you know to flip it the correct orientation before you ready the device in front of your chest/face.
Every Android phone I've owned is similar in this respect (as are the 3GS and below) but my 4S not so much. This move is for the best.

I never had an issue figuring out the front or back. Usually my fingers run over the home button or the ear piece which is what tells me what the front is. Honestly, I didn't even feel the edge till I repeatedly turned the phone around quite a few times, which is when I looked at it. Not sure this would let me determine what the front was, but that might be my personal opinion, or my insensitive fingers.

#4Sigh, a nickel for everyone who owns an Apple product suddenly thinks they are a world class designer.

Also note, it's the guy using a fucking generic blog template.
Gotta love and hate Hacker News sometimes. Idiots.
Edit: Bury me all you want, but by booting this post off the front page you've essentially agreed with me ;)

#6That's there to make sure the screen completely shatters if you bump it against anything.

#7I was at the Apple Store yesterday and also noticed the front glass isn't flush. Was a bit disappointed but reasoned that it's still a beautiful phone. I think it's a stretch to say Steve Jobs would have not allowed it. There could be other factors doing into the design.
On another note, the four iPhone 5 commercials Apple just released were horrible IMO. I definitely think Steve Jobs would have been pissed off at those commercials. The just don't communicate clearly and border on tastelessness.

He never claimed to be a world class designer. In fact if you just clicked on the About Me link at the top you would find his background.

I have calloused hands. I always have a hard time telling front from back, top from bottom on the 4/4S.
