Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple’s products are not circular, but instead “squircles”. Squircles are complex curves that remove the discontinuity between the straight and curved sections of a surface. Apple’s line of products and their roundness scores: desktop-style devices at 0%, displays are between 2% and 3%, MacBooks are between 7% and 10%, iPads are between 12% and 18%, and iPhones are around 33%.
