I find it ironic we went from beautiful colourful intricate UI to flat empty white screens at the same time our displays increased massively in quality and colour gambit.pic.twitter.com/YMAdwB7U9w

The "simplicity" in OP's second screenshot could also be classified as "took 5 minutes to whip up in Sketch" -- there's no finesse what so ever.
You’ve discounted research, designing for user intent, narrative and iteration. There’s your finesse. Skeuomorphism was a visual device used to train users on how to use phones when we transitioned from the physical form to digital. It was a solution of the time and that’s all.

Eli, I hope you googled confirmation bias before asking that questionhttps://twitter.com/heyhaigh/status/1102076816100081665?s=19 …

"the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories..." Let's keep dancing in circles.
-
So all evidence you don't like is dismissed as confirmation bias? (Setting aside the fact a UI that is actually easily distinguishable being easier to use should be self evident and completely unsurprising)
-
I'm familiar with the report and I agree with the findings.
-
Then what are you trying to accomplish by labeling it confirmation bias?

I'd be seriously concerned if this colour palette and design required a massive amount of research and iteration. I'm not saying anyone should go back to iOS 6, just that -- where we are now, apps are just giant white panes with some loosely assorted bits of UI.pic.twitter.com/YA2FvwuBU0

There are benefits to drop shadows, gradients and shiny buttons, when done right. Watching regular people try to figure out what's a button versus what's just static text is depressing.

Google “confirmation bias” next when you’re done

I like how you just dismiss a study conducted by a reputable firm (Nielsen) by complaining that it must be wrong because -uh- must be confirmation bias!https://www.nngroup.com/articles/flat-ui-less-attention-cause-uncertainty/ …

It also makes perfect intuitive sense that of course they’ll find it easier and quicker to use a UI where they can easily identify the UI elements, than one where a button is just difficultly coloured text.

If Apple switched back to skeuomorphism with a Jony Ive video promoting its virtues you'd do a 180 so fast...

Why was skeuomorphic design apart of the Mac then?
