“We call that new user interface Aqua because it's liquid... when you saw it you wanted to lick it” ~ Steve Jobs

Eliminating the physical keyboard and adopting the multi-touch screen, Apple continued using the Skeuomorphism aesthetic to make their devices understandable to non tech-savvy users.

This led to the adoption of minimalism and a common look across the digital world.
