The perspective of the iPhone and cavity is completely off and especially unsightly in the picture with the phone attached.

It is also not great for the touchpad either.

I thought modern patent drawings would be done in some sort of CAD program. So why the lines that mimics a fineliner and why the off perspective? (and why the shoddy work in the first place?)

You don’t need to put your trade secrets into the patent drawings.

Patent applications are really specific in the required style and content. I don't know the specific requirements for drawings, but this is the common style there.
