Please, let the “Brick” rumor be the one where they cut strong endurable laptop enclosures out of hunks of /alumini?um/ with water jets. Not only is it unspeakably cool, it would reduce the need for infrastructure like screws holding the thing together, which means it’d be slimmer and more solid.
Moreover, I advise that the iPhone software platform must be opened.

Ooh, that sounds pretty cool.
(Hope all the aluminium they’re laser-ing and water jetting off gets melted down to make new bricks though. Greenpeace might get all bolshy again if it’s wasted.)

“Moreover, I advise that the iPhone software platform must be opened.” LOL
Maybe if you put it like that, in subliminal messages, people at Apple will get it. ;)

If true, may tie in with this Apple patent: “…pertains to enclosure parts that are structurally bonded together to form a singular composite structure”.

Rainer: I thought of that one as well. But is it really bonding together if it’s one piece at all times? (Although I guess you have to hollow it out to put the crap in there to begin with.)
Paul: It sounds pretty wasteful and expensive if they didn’t.
Leonard: You got me.
