Skeuomorphic design simply doesn’t work. Turning knobs and dials on a touchscreen? It’s a three dimensional interface slapped on a 2d canvas.

Doesn’t work? The old Apple podcasts app worked just fine. It’s the modern one that breaks and has UI jumping all the time.

You can't judge the success or failure of ANYTHING by the podcasts app (except the podcasts app itself, of course).

Remember old QuickTime with wonky drawers and knobs everywhere? Everyone hated it, and rightly so, and switched to alternatives in every case where they could.

I really like the three “wheel” picker on iOS (used for dates, at least): for coarse changes, I “flick” the wheel a couple times and let “inertia” do its work, then I fine tune it when I’m close.

Sure but I still think shadows and 3 dimensions work.

It can work just fine, just like it can be applied inappropriately.
