Tweaking the iPhone’s Finish

Brushmetaliphone

The iPhone is beautiful. We all know that. But some have wondered about Apple’s decision to include just a little bit of iPod-esque chrome amid all that gorgeous brushed aluminum and black plastic. Rather than whine. Flickr user D.Ballance broke out the Brillo pads and masking tape and started buffing away at those edges. The result? The all-brushed aluminum iPhone you see before you. It’s an update before Apple releases an update! A sure collector’s item for the whole family.
