Defeat Skeuomorphism One App at a Time
Since the departure of Scott Forstall there has been a lot of talk that skeuomorphism will be removed from iOS and that it’s been rumoured Jony Ive never liked it and now its days are numbered.
Apps still apply skeuomorphism within their icons and I for one would like to see that go as soon as possible.
DayOne for example is a beautifully designed app and nothing within the app would suggest that they are inspired by skueomorphism, except its icon. Its designed to look like a small book. It’s nice and I understand the concept but it’s another small indication that skeumorphism is still alive and well even within the minds of 3rd party developers.
We don’t need to wait for Apple to change 3rd parties could start making there work more flat and one app at a time defeat skeuomorphism.
