OK, who is buying one?

so it was designed by John Ive? Well, he is probably the most pretentious BS artist I can think of but he is good at it. That's why it's 60K.

Anyone got a photo showing rounded corners? Thx.

I’d say rumors of rounded corners or of any visually distinctive design element, are wildly exaggerated. So you get a plinth made of “densified wood” (Pindac’s parlance), a new power switch, and new hinges, for the roughly $30K premium over a fully tricked out LP12. I hope the design effort didn’t exhaust Mr Ive or  his company.

I think the 'rounded corners' description refers to the top plate of the plinth. The actual corners of the plinth are still squared.

The fact that a 'cosmetic' change with rounded corners on the top plate of a plinth  can generate even a whisper of inquiries  attests to Ive's 'BSness '. It is of the highest order, though I do like my iphone 8 with rounded corners. He was brilliant once.
