Late yesterday the Hong Kong Patent Office granted Apple four new design patents that cover new Beats headphones shelving units along with one that represent the next-gen shelving units for iPhone cases that were used in their new Brussels store.

Unlike "patent applications," design patents published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and/or any other Patent Office, don't reveal pertinent information about a particular design. All we are given is a series of simple photos and/or line-art graphics of what was actually registered, as noted below.
