Yup... on top of that, this is the same person that he fired for disagreeing with him on the design aspects of these apps. Forstall was convinced that people weren't going to embrace apps unless they had an analog parallel that people could see as a bridge between what the technology could do and what already existed in real life. Jobs (Edit: maybe not, but a higher-up at Apple), on the other hand, wanted people to figure out on their own what the technology was capable of and skip all the cartoonish skeumorphism. I think you can objectively say, in hindsight, that Jobs was right even there.

PS. Yes, I know that Forstall left Apple after Jobs' death but Jobs and Ive pretty much saw eye to eye on the design of Apple products. (Edit: Removed "Steve famously hated skeumorphism.")
