maybe they just like using a specific radius for the corners of their products

On a more historical note: http://www.landsnail.com/apple/local/design/design2.html describes a design system for early Apple products that specified corner radii for various situations.

It could have the same radius and not fit. It has the same radius and the same width.

Or perhaps there's a relationship between a border length and its radius* - some sort of eye-pleasing ratio?

In which case, only the width would have to be the same.

*Someone more interested than me could perhaps see if any relationship exists.
