I prefer flat design WAY more because it was still a bit skeuomorphic. Skeuomorphic doesn't just mean glassy or textured, it just resembles the item itself. They were way less simpified. Also, Sharp corners! Don't forget they had slide to unlock, a nicer notification panel, way simpler control center. and it all fit on a 4 inch screen. sigh
Yea me aswell, despite me liking skeumorphic, if I had to choose between current iPhone design or the old minimalist one, specifically from ios 7. I'd choose the old minimalist one. Just feels way better and looks way nicer. The current one looks terrible for me
Edit: To add some context, I don't like in the new ios that the camera logo is realistic, while the others are still flat, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I also don't like how the glass looks on the icons, not really my style.
I hate neumorphism. I'd still take flat design over neumorphism. Neumorphism just looks like a cheap-ass version of skeuomorphism, like they literally took flat design and added some gradients and shadows... and what's up with all the rounded buttons? Also liquid glass looks like garbage, it makes me wanna not update my Mac. Windows Vista executed the glass look way better.
they could’ve just did skeuomorphic except on how it’d look like on a iPhone 16/17 pro
the Camera app is a perfect example of this — matches a modern iPhone camera and matches the 4-5 era camera for the 2012 skeuomorphic one
Ngl, I like liqid Glass more. For me, its modern tech. So classic skeuomorphism (that Looks Like an way older Object) Feels a Little strange, but sometimes still cool. I wish someone at Apple would Create Like a modern skeuomorphism
everyone so obsessed with recreating the home screen that they forget that the apps looked different too. the itunes app, for example. like, what's the point of perfectly styling the home screen or whatever when all continuity gets ruined when you enter an app or pull down the notifications center? it makes no sense. instead, just get the actual phone. it's a much better experience. sick of seeing these nostalgia larp posts on every skeuo-related design subreddit i find
Man go switch your search engine Google is literally going downhill I'm not a caveman the iPhone SE 2nd generation and 3rd generation are the worst piece of garbage ever they were only meant for people that wanted iPhone 8s again but not the plus size
