Did Steve Jobs work on iOS 7 ?
What part of 'STEVE JOBS PREFERRED A REALISTIC LOOK' do you not understand? Alright, if you say this, then Leonardo Da Vinci never liked to draw. It's about as logical as saying that.
Da Vinci loved to draw, he was an artist, our memory of him is defined by that and the drawings he produced. Are you honestly drawing a parallel between that and Jobs' alleged preference for skeuomorphism? Is that what we all remember Steve for now, his love of stitched leather effects and green baise? Is that his gift to the world in your eyes? The thing that drove him? What warped little world are you living in?
You can draw logical conclusions from what a person chose in their life.
No, not in the way you're getting at. You're trying to say that because someone felt one way before they died, they would never have changed their mind or formed a different opinion later if they had lived, and that's unfair, unkind, and massively disrespectful to a person who famously did change their mind, and was always open to new ideas and new opinions.
]Here are a couple pics of iphone prototypes:
Sorry but this is ludicrous. The pictures you're using are just that, prototypes, and they show early unfinished sketches of icons that received the same polish as the rest of the phone before release in 2007. They aren't flat design, they're nothing to do with IOS 7, and Ive almost certainly had no hand in them. They're illustrations of an unfinished product, no more and no less.
The UI they became was great in 2007. It was absolutely right for 2007. This is not 2007, and your inference that Jobs - the man who famously skated to where the puck would be throughout his career - would have blocked any change to that 2007 design or approach in 2013 is a complete insult to the man.
All of that said, he's still dead, so none of this matters one iota.
