@chockenberry and yet, there was iPod nano, with an iOS 5-style UI. I think new screen sizes was the real reason, esp if iPad gets splitscrn
It's very clear to me that WATCH is the reason Apple went flat in iOS 7. No way to have any detail on that tiny screen.

@stroughtonsmith The iPod nano UI probably taught Apple that was the wrong direction to head in the future. Too much visual information. - View other replies

@chockenberry@stroughtonsmith your just serving your narrative. Some of the time Apple isn't as prescient as you think. -
@conorporter@stroughtonsmith When it comes to planning hardware products, they have a very long view of their pipeline.

@chockenberry instead of removing details, it's more about removing visual noise from the tiny screen. Button's visual impact is too big. -
@thibautsailly Yeah I should have used the term "richness" instead of "detail". -
@chockenberry you nailed the word. In the context of watches, here is an illustration of this 6/7 UI delta. pic.twitter.com/mvJl4gnwpq

@garrettmurray@thibautsailly A full 12 costs extra. -
@chockenberry@garrettmurray Switzerland!

@chockenberry And the reason why iOS buttons originally didn't have borders or background colors. /cc@gruber -
@charlietuna@gruber Yep. We've moved beyond real buttons now, too: tap vs. press has no physical analog.

@chockenberry not larger screen sizes in the phones? - View other replies

@BenedictEvans Still plenty of space on 6's for "richness". Flat design does help with adapability, where WATCH is the extreme case. - View other replies

@chockenberry yes, 1 to 1 detail need be reduced (some) but it’s clear iOS 7 was the visual/ideological overreaction to corporate shakeup -
@eli_schiff@chockenberry Of course the actual Apple-like solution, in effect on the Mac for years, is to remove detail as icons scale down. -
@_Jordan@chockenberry Exaxtly, it was always to an extent, not wholesale. Tactile appearance isn’t something thrown away lightheartedly. -
@eli_schiff@chockenberry Still can’t believe everyone bought into this. Still can’t. -
@_Jordan@chockenberry Never expected devs to put up a fight. But designers? Truth is anti-art’s always in fashion for cynical modernists
