I don't understand how changing the design adds to functionality. Instead of giving a new half baked look, Apple could have concentrated on adding features to its existing look. Flat design is good but like most things its just a phase. Why not add background downloading etc. to the current design. From design point if view iOS 6 is fairly good and very consistent.

#132What will probably happen is a quick 7.1 release to fix most small alignment bugs, and then iOS 8 will refine everything. I'm guessing iOS 9 will be the polished version of this UI design. Not making excuses, just postulating what might happen.

#133And they said we wont miss scott forstall who would surely not let anything like this out of apple.
But what do I know.

#134Some of them are bugs found in the beta releases of iOS 7.
I am assuming that the “sloppy UIs” are from the general release.
There were tons of changes from beta 1 to the GM and there are still some UI bugs, but they are not showstoppers.
Re: Sloppy UI – A collection of sloppy iOS7 UIs
#135Anyone know how many UI bugs were reported or seen with previous iOS versions? I'm just wondering if this is a usual part of each major iOS rollout, or a unique instance.

Are bugs in the UI not themselves part of the UI? If their goal is point out "sloppiness" in the UI, why should obvious or slightly less-obvious bugs be excluded?
Because it's very likely that anything that would be seen as a "bug" will be fixed in updates; whereas things that are the result of intentional (bad) design, like lack of information hierarchy, probably won't be fixed, because they won't be seen as incorrect. (Which is, nominally, what this tumblr would be for pointing out.)
To me, the Tumblr is pointing out an overall lack of attention to detail. Some of these obvious bugs should have never made it past QA/testing, but somehow they did - and that's sloppy UI, regardless of whether it was an intentional "do that" directive.
I understand what you're saying, and perhaps the name of the Tumblr should change to "Issues with iOS7", but that sounds pretty boring to me. Instead, we can all agree that sloppy/bad decision-making, sloppy QA practices, etcetera can be learned from, and that there is value in identifying (and avoiding) these mistakes both in the works of others and in our own work.

Poster here: Indeed it's just me submitting. But it's open to submissions. I'm not answering every single case you mention. The examples I posted show how inconsistent the UI is. Taste is in the eye of the beholder and I didn't mention what I find ugly but what shows a lack of afterthought. Just one example here to answer, "Poor Contrast" ( http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61439835569 ) On an iOS device, this is not…
For what it's worth, I think nearly all your examples are spot on. These are sloppy jobs that I would've personally been ashamed of releasing to the public. That said, noticing alignment issues and font inconsistencies is not given and a lot of people won't give a damn about them.
Steve Jobs would have. And then unconsciously everyone that ever bought or buy Apple products for that perfectionism that has been inbreed in their spirit.
Jobs is definitely gone. Had he be around, you would've seen tons of cartoon boxes and pink slips delivered to One Infinite Loop. If he would've ever let update like that released into cyberspace (he wouldn't've).
IOS7 clearly shows that John Ive is lost without Jobs.

Didn't that happen, back around 2009? I remember many of my searches failing to find things they had the month or two before because Google was treating my parameters more as suggestions (returning results with 1 or 2 of the 4 or 5 words I'd used, ignoring quotes for grouping, etc).
What? They fixed that? Nope, searching anything with "verse" still makes Google think it knows better than you and searches for "vs" instead.
There is a verbatim search option now which undoes some of the damage of this. But I agree that Google search has actually degraded over the past few years from the point-of-view of the highly sophisticated searcher (it may have improved or stayed the same for the masses).
