An iPhone is a practicality device, not a piece of artwork that needs to be displayed on a wall for everybody to look at. No one cares what the back of an iPhone looks like, because it’s in a case anyways for the majority of customers. It’s really interesting to see how frantic others fret over the little things about how an iPhone looks, but everybody else in the real world just uses it as a tool every single day without issue.
This is ironic to read because the iPhone grew prominent for being a phone that was like a piece of artwork that needed to be displayed on a wall for everybody to look at.

The iPhone user-base cares about looks or I wouldn't see so many clear cases and ones with logo cutout. It's funny seeing a thick case like an Ottorbox and the manufacturers going through the troubles to do a cutout.

Something like a Blackberry is a practical tool, not a glass body iPhone that needs a case.
