My foremost example of apple's form over function is actually the 'Form' of the hardware. Every apple product that I have touched the phones, pads and macbooks are a slippery nightmare. They are often thin enough to be impossible to grip and trying to get even thinner for no reason. They have clean slippery lines everywhere, edges sharp enough that I think it will give you deep cut if it falls in the proper angle again for no reason. The only saving grace I found with iphones is that for the thinner width the grip isn't as bad it would be otherwise.

I remember my fear of dropping my office macbook every time I had to move it the first few weeks and while I got rid of the fear mostly the device didn't get any safer to use.

The biggest crime of apple probably (if I'm attributing this right) is it has pushed the idea so much and corrupted the whole market and other companies that everyone now tries to be a 1mm thinner as if that makes it look any nicer and just makes it hotter or slower or lowers battery. I think the surface book (I have only seen pictures) might have better grip on the hinge side but even its edges look sharp if not as bad as the apple product.

Now if you talk about weight than at least has the benefit of usability when it gives you 3lb full power laptop. But even for a phone does it matter if its 135g vs. 145g?
