Skeuomorphism in iOS

Sam Biddle on how Apple's UI conventions have become a little...odd these days.

The rules worked fine for decades! And, arguably, no giant company has made prettier software more consistently than Apple, ever. That is, until the company began taking the design advice of what can only be someone who stuck a syringe full of amphetamines into his neck and rode a horse straight into Cupertino.

Today, I find myself agreeing with a Gizmodo post for once. Especially in regards to Game Center, one of the worst examples of Apple design I've ever come across.

Gizmodo | Ugh. God. Why Is Apple Making Everything Look Like an Ugly Wild West?
