Re: Sloppy UI – A collection of sloppy iOS7 UIs
#2This is quite bad -- only a small percentage are genuine examples of sloppu UI.
It seems to be put together by one guy (instead of user submissions like similar sites) and not quite design savvy at that.
Case in point:
1) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61441688489 (this is supposed to show "poor alignment")
2) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61439801745 (this is supposed to show "stray dropshadows" -- didn't they guy get the memo that the iOS 7 UI uses them to show a 3D layer hierarchy?)
3) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61439835569 (this is supposed to show "poor contrast". Isn't it obvious that the top bar should not be visually striking and distracting?)
4) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61440586435 (... this is considered "sloppy").
5) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61440527405 (flat information hierarchy -- one of the few genuine sloppy UI examples).

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 "Subtle" but unreadable.

#4Most things about iOS7 seem inconsistent, and like they were rushed - which they were. I mean Johny Ive was head of UI for like 9 months only, and had to change everything in iOS in that period. These changes should've arrived in iOS8 in order to be well thought out and mature enough, but for some reason they decided to push them to iOS7.

I agree that not all examples are good, but how can you defend the blue text/red caret?
There are also quite a few genuine design errors (Z index of updates available, alignment in the timer, ...) on the site.

If they removed the new design, iOS7 would be a really underwhelming release for users. The background downloading would clearly be the banner feature.. but aside from that?

> and had to change everything in iOS in that period.
I may be confused by wording here, sorry: which one does "had to" mean:
* there was some external force pushing him (I'm thinking CEO rather than bloggers' complaints)
* he couldn't resist the urge
It somehow feels like the latter is what really happened, but I do not have any sources for that, and would be happy to know.

There are a few cases of genuine sloppy UI in iOS 7, but this site does a horrible job of pointing it out.
http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/post/61658685474 This is the most outrageous. Apparently this mid-transistion screenshot demonstrates something poor. What? I have no idea. Is it sloppy in the same way this http://i.imgur.com/e5Vyv5z.jpg is sloppy?

#9So what - if I didn't visit the link, I wouldn't even know about these "sloppy" features.
Done is better than perfect.

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.
