> Tabs that look like real-world tabs aren’t just a decorative style. They’re a visual metaphor. My brain likes visual metaphors. It craves them. As the preeminent Apple commentator at the time, Gruber said nothing when iOS 7 dumped rich visual metaphors for a barren flatness. So waxing poetic now about one minor change in one app is just comical. Realistically, this specific change, from tabs to buttons, is not that big of a deal. He's simply delusional if he thinks the tabs before Safari 15 looked like tabs, or that the active tab was unambiguous. Apple is just polishing a turd, how much damage could it have done?
