[dba-Tech] Skeuomorphic UIs are dead? Apple to follow MS Win8 UI design principles with iOS7?

I think you are disregarding the fact that Metro has been a failure for Microsoft, because it was too much of a change for users to adapt to. Someone got fired for that, if you recall.

Also, the UI/UX of iOS is in the complete control of a designer.

The jury is still very much out - even more so than ever.
