Rounded corners rage

[Elley]

Do people really like extra rounded corners? In UI as well as physicall design.

It's like a strat of new mainstream aesthetic, copying iphones (eww). Atleast give users option to customize what they want, isn't it enough companies controlling some of our actions? Whyyyy, I personally hate rounded corners so much it makes me bang my head in a wall, even win 11 started it but those are nice.

 

I mean rounded corners are super good but why everywhere, use them where they are suited or atleast give freedom.

 

About physical design, there are no phones which have less rounded corners except Samsung note ultras and me smol budget brokey

Peak of mobile physical designs (imo) : galaxy note 9, xperia xa1

 

Tldr : rage about rounded corners

I would love to hear yalls thoughts

Missing about 15 pixels per corner isn't denying me any important content.

if the edges on the phone were sharp the would be cutting you through your pocket

Yeah I am not complaining about that, I am complaining about the aesthetic , I swallowed a big pill when it started changing physical design meta ( I don't mind small corners) but they are now forcing large radius rounded corners in UI, I used to find workarounds for years but now it's lose your warrant with custom rom flash.

i unironically wish there was a phone with the old xperia design but with newer hardware and still supported:

A sharper corner creates a more concentrated impact zone that is likely to collapse inward if dropped and makes direct contact. 

 

A rounded corner gives more area to displace the force of an impact.

you say that, but that's actually the worst aspect,  they steal real useful screen real estate , just so you're windows look like little "phones" (apparently)  that's worse than what 10 ever did lol.

For physical design, rounded corners absolutely offer comfort and some durability benefits.

 

For software design, I don't think they detract much unless the rounded is rather severe.

 

Personally I think rounded corners in software look nice, but that's just my opinion. They frankly don't detract from my experience nor remove any content.
