When Apple Fired Scott Forstall, It Fired Its Most Prolific Inventor
Accordng to BI: When Apple promoted Jony Ive to lead its
software design last week, some people rejoiced because they believed it meant
the death of some hokey design elements in iOS.
There has been a debate inside Apple and out, about whether
Apple's design sensibility should remain "skeuomorphic"--software
features looking like real-world devices--or whether Apple should just drop
this and pursue a more modern design.
Specifically, observers have questioned whether Apple should
have, for instance, a Podcast app that has a digital reel-to-reel tape player,
or a Notes app that looks like a fake legal pad, since there is no practical
need for a yellow background with lines on an iPhone
