  • iOS 7 ushered in the world of flat iOS.
  • The Wallet app is didn't escape.
  • This concept shows us what could have been.

This shows us a Wallet app that takes parts of iOS 13 and iOS 6 and mushes them together into something that doesn't put form over function but doesn't look like it was designed by someone who lives in a white box, either.

I'm sorry Jony. I love you, really.
