Apple Kitsch

I am surprised (and a bit disappointed) that apple is not only continuing the kitsch of overly literal visual elements on their interfaces that don’t actually use the metaphor they refer to (Calendar pages that don’t flip or wooden bookshelves that scroll) but getting worse with it’s new iPhoto for iOS 5.1.

Am i crazy or is making a simple tool selector a photo-realistic “brush” that you can’t grab or move, simply click on, a Microsoft move? 

What are your thoughts?
