While flat design has become universal over the past 7 years, it wasn’t so common before iOS 7. It was the shift that shaped the design landscape. But to say that it hasn’t evolved would be inaccurate. iOS design has adapted to the bigger screens. What started as the ultimate opposite of hyper realistic designs that preceded it, flat design has become more nuanced over the years, giving way to more depth with blur, gradients, drop shadows and cards.
