This was such a weird/fun project at Apple.

Back in the day we also made a sky blue and black leather variant of this. It was a hoot.

I want to stress that the only part that is skeuomorphic about this leather UI was the tiny little distance ‘sign’ I designed, which actually survived the iOS 7 redesign!

Skeuomorphic doesn’t mean materials, gradients, shadows. It means an interface resembles a real life object.

Mammoth 2 looks wonderful. Really great work, @ploink & co! https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/7/23991158/mammoth-2-app-mastodon

Having a joyful last week goodbye with this iPhone 14 Pro camera. It’s been such a fantastic camera for me, and the 3× lens is my absolute favorite.

Thanks iPhone, Amsterdam, @halide ProRAW, and fall light.

@tobiasdm @halide because this isn't adding the detail you saw, it's adding manufactured, pre-stored data that doesn't match reality. It just infills a texture. Do you want your camera to do this for say, your kids' eyes too?
