Design elements of interest above with text below.

Location of audio jack and charging port:

Question: Why would charging/audio jack be raised up off the ground?

Assumption: cost savings because the PCB is located at the top for buttons. Keeping everything on top reduces the amount of routing electrical components.

Mesh enclosure design:

Question: Why does mesh enclosure wrap below?

Assumption: hide the interface transition of mesh to plastic base. Continue the curve of the aluminum enclosure down, makes look more continuous
