You're forgetting stuff like Metro, introduced with Windows Phone 7 in 2010 (then infamously Windows 8), and Android was getting flatter from around 4.x in 2011. The trend was definitely moving towards flat UI, and people really were criticising Apple for not following it. Apple wasn’t really a leader in this stuff, certainly not on an OS level.

- jhatemyjob 4y agoYou gotta be kidding with the Windows Phone example. It was always irrelevant. And Android at the time was an iOS knockoff.
- eightysixfour 4y agoTo think the Metro Design language didn’t influence tech design would be a mistake. The evolution from Zune, to WP7, and W8 clearly influenced Material and other flat design.
