the black band

Look at the picture of the back of the iphone on the apple website. What the heck is the black band across the band? Rubberized plastic? Black acrylic? Black aluminum? A battery door??

upon closer inspection, it seems contiguous with the speaker/mic grilles and data port surround...i doubt it is removable, but why is there a second color for that band down there, it seems un-apple...

It's the tip of the Monolith... Has to be, all of us monkeys have been pawing at it.

Actual guess: it could be transparent to RF, for antennas

I don't know, but has anyone ever seen a picture of the top of the iphone?! I haven't. It might show a sim card slot. Or, maybe not.

it is so that you can get a signal out of it!
