Why 16:18? Why not 1:1? Is the shape trademarked by Square or something? Hasselblad used it much earlier, except they called it 6x6.

"Standard" ratio is 16:9, so calling it "16:18" draws attention to the fact that it's the same size as two monitors stacked vertically.

Yeah that makes sense. I wonder if it's actually built as two 16:9 pieces somehow.
