What about Microsoft, one of the first companies to bring flat design to phones? Their motto for Windows Phone 7 was "Content before chrome".
- AlexandrB 11y agoSee my other reply on this as well [1]. One interesting nuance here is that "content" actually refers to visual content. I think maybe that's why so many here are expressing their frustration with the Music app. The content in question is NOT visual, but the UI is still designed with the same UX philosophy that tries to emphasize visual content instead of favouring richer interaction.
