"But how are we to know what Jobs would and wouldn't have allowed?". Thanks for pointing out the obvious. My statement of what Jobs would have done was purely hypothetical. I could have ended that with "Hell yes!" and that would be an equally plausible scenario. When did I say it was a step backwards? I just pointed out one thing on the phone that bothered me (and clearly isn't bothering many people), and that I didn't like it. That's all!
I think I (and many others) latched onto the Steve Jobs thing because it's a bold statement and because it's your concluding paragraph.
I asked if you thought it was a step backwards because you said you liked the iPhone 4, but not the 5 (and of course also because Steve Jobs was around for the earlier launch). Neither side of the iPhone 4 is flush with the frame—it's literally a bit rough around the edges.
I started the article off with the good things about the 5 and clipped it because I don't need to rattle off about all the awesome things about it that folks here know about. I just wrote the article about the one thing I didn't like about the 5. I like both the 4 and the 5. In fact, I'll be buying the 5 (I didn't just because it was out of stock, and not because of the not flush glass) :).
Btw, I just now realized that when I said "I didn't like it", the "it" was referring to the glass sticking out, and not the iPhone 5. Bad wording on my part there.

Fair enough.
