You may be facing Camel Every now and then, criticism is directed at the iPhone design, which rarely changes. This is undisputed. The company follows the American proverb “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” However, the features that Apple regularly brings to its devices work seamlessly within its ecosystem. This gives users a different experience all the time. But what gives the iPhone maker the edge and always makes it superior to its competitors is not just the smoothness or the new features and improvements, but the attention to detail that is the secret of Apple’s strength. Let’s take you on a quick journey and learn about the secret that Apple hides and always makes it on top.
How does Apple care about the details?
If you look closely at any Apple product, from the HomePod speaker to its keyboard buttons to the icons and elements in the company’s apps, you’ll notice that there’s one thing they all have in common: they all have rounded corners.
This term, known as Squircle, is a combination of two words: circle and square. Apple relies on rounded corners when designing its various devices, applications, icons, and anything made by Apple, you will immediately find that it has rounded corners. The design feels smoother and it is not clear to you where the straight line ends if you follow it.
Design Philosophy
Apple's design philosophy can be said to be based on simplicity, as rounded corners make the design more streamlined and less complicated. It also makes its products more modern, and these curves in the design help protect the company's devices by reducing scratches and breakage in the event of a fall from a high place. Experts explained that Apple adds rounded corners to its devices, but in variable proportions as follows:
- Device screens between 2 and 3%.
- MacBooks between 7 and 10%.
- iPads between 12 and 18%.
- iPhones about 33%.
- Apple Pencil and AirPod 100%.
NBDesktop devices do not have rounded corners. Apps on iPhone and iPad come with rounded corners.
rounded corners
Rounded corners are used in many other areas such as: feng shui (A Chinese philosophy that works on harmony and concord between the person and the things in the house to increase the flow of positive energy) which prefers rounded lines that bring comfort and calm and believes that sharp angles emit negative energy.
Also, the Danish scientist used Beit Hain The circular shape of the Sergels Torg roundabout in Stockholm, Sweden, helped solve traffic problems. Architect Zaha Hadid also used curved and rounded shapes to evoke nature and make her designs look more modern and sophisticated.
Finally, if you look closely, you will feel that the things around us are mostly circular. What distinguishes the circular shape is how simple it is. Also, it depends on Islamic art It is largely based on geometric shapes, including the circular shape, which gave the designer a great deal of freedom in constructing endless decorative shapes and designs.

Sharp corners are impractical because they are worn out, unattractive, uncomfortable and in some cases harmful. Design is a beautiful world and harmony is most important.

As usual, unfortunately, this is a very funny and flattering article that has no purpose other than illogically exaggerating the reputation of Apple and its products.
If Apple changed the corners to sharp and square tomorrow, we would hear you flirting with this and saying that full corners are the best and most comfortable for the hand 😁😁🤣🤣
Hello Mohamed Mansour! 😄👋
I totally understand your strong feelings towards Apple and how it can seem like we're fawning over everything they do. But, that's the beauty of technology, right? 🤔 Everyone has their own taste and vision for things. Of course, if Apple changed the corners to sharp and squared, we would definitely talk about it! 😅 Because that's our job - sharing news and updates about everything Apple. Of course, rounded corners will always be in our hearts 🍏💚🤣
I don't know what the benefit of this article is. Personally, I didn't benefit anything from this article.
Peace be upon you, I saw my friend's Android Galaxy phone and I noticed that the applications he had resembled Apple's applications, I mean the square circular ones, and I said to him mockingly about the Galaxy company to my friend, has Galaxy become an imitation of Apple even in the shape of the square applications? 😏 He said to me, "No, I made it square." It seems that he has options in the settings to make it square. In any case, I do not like any other phone except the iPhone. It is truly the undisputed king of smartphones. Thank you for this topic. The shape of the square circular applications really appeals to me a lot. In fact, I like the shape of Apple's applications on the iPhone 3G more than their current shape. The shape of Apple's applications on the iPhone 3G was shiny like 3D, with silver lines branching out from it like shine, but change is required from time to time. Nothing stays the same in this world. Thank you very much again.
Peace be upon you al_fanar AR 🌹, this is the beautiful thing about technology, there are always options to customize the device according to the user's taste. 😊 And you're right, nothing stays the same in this world, even Apple's designs! 🍏 However, Apple always leaves a unique mark in the world of technology. Thank you for your wonderful and detailed comment, we appreciate your participation! 😃👍🏻
But you know, brother, that Android is ahead of the iPhone in many things, the latest of which is call recording. This is despite my agreement with the iPhone and my use of it, and my refusal to accept Android because I am blind.
You didn't bring anything new, Minv. I want your opinion on the proverb. I hope that the readers do not agree with this proverb.
Hi Sultan Mohammed 🙋♂️, I apologize but you did not mention the proverb you want my opinion on. As for the American proverb mentioned in the article “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, I think Apple applies it brilliantly. It keeps things that work well and adds some improvements and innovations to them without compromising on quality or performance 📱💡.
The most important thing is the American proverb, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What do you think of this proverb, Minv? I hope you don't give the answer I have in mind. What do you think, brother Tariq Mansour?
Hi Sultan Mohammed 🙋♂️, I think the example you mentioned applies perfectly to Apple, the company does not change its designs unless there is a real need for it. However, it always adds new features and improvements to its devices on a regular basis, which makes the experience different and unique for the user. I think Tariq Mansour will see things the same way. 🤓🍎
The truth is that the secret of Apple's superiority is the user's desire for the view.
Apple plays on psychology in marketing
That's all.. but in reality the phone is very weak as a complete user experience
If the iPhone devices continued with the smooth, easy, beautiful and comfortable iPhone 11 design for the hand to the iPhone 16, it would be better. However, the placement of the pointed and sharp body after the iPhone 11 is tiring and uncomfortable for the hand to hold. This is my point of view and the point of view of many Apple lovers 😊
Hi Abdulaziz 🙋♂️, you've touched on an important point! It seems like you prefer smoothness and comfort in design, and that's definitely what the iPhone 11 was all about. But as you know, everyone has their own taste and some might find the rounded design more attractive. Change is part of evolution and sometimes we have to adapt to it 😅. Apple always strives to provide the best user experience, whether in terms of design or performance. Thanks for sharing your insight, we always appreciate user feedback! 🍏📱
Question. Why did you change the name of the site from iPhone Islam to Phone Islam and now Phone Gram? Please respond with full information.
Hi Sajid 🙋♂️, Did you know that change is the only constant in life? 😄 Yes, we have changed the name of the site from “iPhone Islam” to “Phone Islam” and now “Phone Gram”, for several reasons. First, to be able to cover a wider range of topics related to technology and smartphones in general, not just Apple. Second, to give a new and more modern look to the name of the site. And finally, because it seems that time loves change a lot! 😉
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. A question that is out of the ordinary!!
Why don't we compete with the world in industries?!
Who is stopping us? Money is available and minds need someone to adopt them, so what is stopping us? 😒!!?
