I know it's petty, but I HATE that the white and grey cross each other. It would have been so easy to avoid!

I mean look at the white paint traces on the board. They seem to be very specifically lay it out to indicate they’re supposed to overlay.

Not necessarily easy. My guess is that the pinout on the RF chip didn’t align well with how the antenna designer wanted to lay out the antennas in the enclosure.

Crossing those cables could be better than crossing the feeds on the board.

Came here to say exactly this.

It really would’ve been a simple adjustment with such a worthwhile result.
