Good answer

It bothered me enough when I was about to buy this, that I sat and mocked it up in illustrator. That’s when I realise that the two arcs are indeed concentric.
Also the middle of the corner is thinner than the rest, because they aren’t actually circles but squircles. They could’ve done some optical correction, but that would probably complicate the manufacturing.
Also, see how the dock aligns perfectly with the screen corners to get over it :]
And the iPad, because of how you hold it cannot get much thinner with its bezels.
But yeah my initial reaction was — I didn’t expect this from a company that literally went out and patented rounded corners.

It’s an interesting optical illusion
And also tells us that most of our judgement is familiarity and practice
