Out of all the execs we've seen since, the one that seemed to come the closest to Jobs in force of will and design sensibility was Scott Forstall (now gone, of course). We may not like skeumorphism now but the original iOS design was an impressive achievement.
- godzillabrennus 10y agoAgreed. Apple maps was a huge screw up and if he was responsible it makes sense why things were handled that way. Still, iOS and Mac OS X are both so bland and ugly that it's a terrible homage to the legacy of Jobs and his focus on tying tech to the lives of people. Todd; Apple user interfaces look like Google and Microsoft these days. Not like those are something you should aspire to have your product look like.
- fredgrott 10y agonot really MS's reinterpretation of flat design was by committee and lost..Apple's reinterpretation of flat design was wrongly focused on what looks good rather than design theory and Google's Material Design..well guess where the iOS lost in sales are going to for their next device..as its not MS..
- protomyth 10y ago> Agreed. Apple maps was a huge screw up and if he was responsible it makes sense why things were handled that way. Given its continued screw up, I find it hard to blame him. I do wonder if he'll ever do any OS related things from here on out. It would be interesting to see him guiding a Linux (well I would prefer BSD) distro.
