The Devil's in the Details

2011-10-04
Apple announced the iPhone 4S today. This was their first product launch in the post-Jobs era. Everyone else in the world can comment all they want on the gadget itself, but I was floored by a detail on their website that violates the standard of perfection Jobs hewed to for so long.

The iPhone page features some cool HTML5 animation (highlighted by John Gruber), but look at the corners of the iPhone images. What is that sloppy white border?! It's mysteriously absent from the iPad and iPhone on the "iCloud" slide, but it's there throughout the rest of the animation.
