Skeuomorphism Is The Red-Headed Step Child At This Year's WWDC

calendarApple's keynote presentation at the Worldwide Developers conference this morning had a few moments of humor and several of them came at the expense of skeuomorphism, the design philosophy that seemed to govern many of the earlier versions of iOS.The move away from skeuomorphism has been exhaustively chronicled and debated in the tech press. When iOS exec Scott Forstall it last year, his fondness for skeuomorphic design (i.e., design that's based on physical objects and rela-world textures) was reported to be one of the factors for his departure, and pundits suggested that without Forstall, we'd see a move away from skeuomorphism in iOS. And indeed, recent leaks about iOS 7 suggested the design would lose its skeumorphic elements.
