Screen resolutions back in 2007 were pretty low. Apple used drop shadows and other tricks to hide this fact in its iOS design. Now that screen resolutions are much higher the flat design looks great on modern phones.

If Flat design was boring and old Microsoft, Google, Apple and others would not all adopt it as "modern" design.

I'm not sure what you think it uintuitive exactly.
cause it's a trend, not everyone find the same stuff boring there's ppl who thinks minimalism is amazing and apps ui will stick to anything trendy but now a lot of ppl are actually complaining abt the way its soulless and boring so more realistic stuff are coming back
