Don't really get the point of your rambling on and on but sure.... what ever you say.
attentionseekingmorphic is my new word.
IF you mean they wanted it to look like android os you nailed it.

I'm trying to figure out what flatomorphism is all about. Or whatever you want to call it.
I question if flatomorphic design has a point or is just an anti movement against skeuomorphism.
I hear people bashing it and others saying its revolutionary.
I'm not sold one way or another totally yet.
Some people are throwing around art terminology trying to explain Apple's new look. A quick google search shows they aren't accurate.
I'm enjoying the flatomorphic thread and the rumblings it's inspired.
We haven't even talked about Windows, Android or other platforms...

If you keep telling yourself that you may start to believe it.
Is it a carbon copy? Of course not. Did they take some design elements and run with them? Absolutely.
Ill accept your apology for calling me a troll any time you like.

No way, people have different opinions? Who cares. Nobody stares at their home screen all day. You're probably inside an app 95% of the time. Yes I made that statistic up.
Just like Android took some design elements from iOS and other mobile OSs and ran with them. Just like Windows Phone did as well. They all have some of their own stuff and some borrowed stuff and some hybrid stuff and some stuff in between all if that. Desktop OSs and applications in general have had that for decades. This is nothing new or unexpected and is in fact more or less the norm.
That is more like something from a 1930's silent movie.
Either way it's wrong....
so very very wrong.
Everyone has taken design elements from everyone else. That doesn't mean iOS looks like android.
Most of the new elements in iOS 7 that are getting compared to Android and Blackberry 10, like the multitasking and swipe gestures to move backward/forward in apps, seems to come from WebOS before anything else.... that this might bear some resemblance to Android/Blackberry should not be surprising since they borrowed quite a bit from there, as well.
I wasn't showing the Art Deco theme off as something I liked. Just showing that the "flatomorphic" design isn't Art Deco.
Is this a better example:
The Grid System
One element of that is used to make elements of flatomorphic design is the grid system.
I'm not positive using this system makes for consistent iconography.
Also flatomirphism goes beyond the icons of IOS 7. The newly revised Apple apps will be flatomorphic as well.

Is this thread, stop calling it flatomorphic and I will start believing you are not just trolling.
I'm a flatomorphic troll who lives under a two dimensional mushroom with no bevels, textures or shadows.
If you have a suggestion for a moniker for Apple's new design which is superior to the great and powerful "flatomorphic" descriptor please share it.
Start brain storming... NOW!
I look forward to reading what you come up with. Seriously.
like I said on the thread before: 'simple' which is what apple calls it.
I guess if you want me to give you a moniker from my own I would call it 'selective deconstructionism' since all they are doing is breaking down things into parts and removing what they think is unnecessary for recognition of vital parts.
Not sure why you're freaking on me as was just defending my comment from someone that said one looks nothing like the other. I see a very close resemblance as do many others. I don't really care for the new look but do like the design. Never said apple taking from android, windows, BB which ever was bad. I understand your passion in defending big daddy apple even though I don't share it.
Shocking? Yes. But Apple had not radically changed their flagship product to a flat interface, radically diverging from their founder, Steve Job's, vision until now.
Therefore it's time for new nomenclature - flatomorphic.
Whether you like the new look or hate it - it needs a name. I propose that the community of MacRumors create that name.
I like flatomorphic as it strikes me a little bit light-hearted but invite you to come up with your own suggestion.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
