Been watching the movie, intrigued by Siri's responses to "open the pod bay doors".
It occurred to me that the black iPhone 5 looks exactly like the alien black monolith from the movie. It looks like the same proportions, height to width and even thickness. And the material is almost similar, somewhat reflective but also somewhat light absorbing.
I was if this is a random coincidence or if someone at Apple was viewing the slab as a perfectly simple design embodiment.
Update: I guess its not just me. Found this video online, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHuxbnSJQp4
