I HEARD the company making the physical radio changed, and I think since the old one was protected by copyright design laws, the design had to change enough to be functional, but look different.

idk.. That's just what I heard.

It could be for a variety of reasons, but that makes sense and if they did it to have it redesigned year to year.. why not make it smaller.. I think this was a last minute (so to speak) kinda design change.

But that's only speculation on my part which we all know is bad, but can't help doing it.
So.. meh.
