IOS future...
I think that future is what we are looking at in ios 6.1 hahaha
there is no evolution happening here
I believe it's overly simplistic to say skeuomorphism is no longer necessary. I agree that most savvy tech users are over it (and may not even be familiar with the analog versions), I believe many older digital holdouts still need it to reduce technology anxiety. In certain vertical markets there may be considerably higher concentrations of technophobes, for example, in EMR/EHRs.
That said, many apps' functionality and efficiency are hampered by recreating digital versions of paper documents, missing out on powerful input and processing capabilities that technology enables.
