Just take a look at the simple keyboard entry UI design. It's beyond pathetic. There is a thin blue outline over the next/previous field buttons and that's how they solve the "layered" transparency design problems.

every day I look at iOS 7 UI and I shake my head in disbelief: 5 years of pure iOS UI design down the toilet and this is the best we can get from the same team that brought us the first iPHONE.

I'm in disbelief that they actually let these fake designers work on a flagship operating system.

I have found a lot of things like this in earlier betas thats got cleaned up in later betas. Just report it to Apple. iOS 7 is a revolution in UI design, it's the next step to having something like in Iron Man. With Jarvis and the translucent holograms.
 
After reading the thread title I guessed that the OP was going to use the work "pathetic" in his description. This has become a common and predictable pattern with whiners.

OP, I'm also guessing that you didn't use smartphones before the iPhone. There seems to be a new generation of "connoisseurs" that have very little past experience with these devices.
 

99% were terrible. The 1% that wasn't terrible were specific app designs. My favorite thing about all the complaints of iOS 7 are the "I can design it better" statements that come from most. Then they try to, and don't realize that they just used iOS 7 as a starting point. You obviously can't design better or you wouldn't have had to use the product you're trying to do better than as your starting point. All anyone is doing is changing a little icon here and there and looking amateurish in the process.

A lot of people don't care about bugs or problems with the OS and the fact that its in beta and being tested. They are too stuck in colors and icons.

Also assume this will be like previous betas with no changes outside of bug fixes. But with a redesign like this I have a feeling we'll see more UI changes than normal as things are still being finalized. Especially changes that don't really impact 3rd party developers.

And thats exactly what it should be. I am not a iOS fan in anyway. I do like the direction it is heading though. A living interface is going to make way for some great updates and future integration with other consumer items. be it cars, wheel chairs, televisions, macs/PCs, etc.All this nonsense about it not being as user friendly is nothing more than nonsense. I moved from iOS 6 to iOS 7 without a single hiccup. Colors, touch areas, and fonts are all fine. We should be helping apple improve its function and not its colors pallet.

You two need to get a room. :D
 
Your examples here are not really accurate and indicative of the design. The reason the next/previous field buttons look the way they do (disabled) is because they are! I visited the site in your screenshots. There isn't another field to jump to so it makes sense they are disabled.

Visit a site with two input fields... like the one you are on. It looks and functions just fine IMO. Now I think the controls can just be hidden instead of disabled, but that wasn't the argument.

I really don't know how this post doesn't have 30 likes and the thread is closed, 136 comments for nothing, not even a bug, just like ominx explains it, the reason is because there's no other field to go to, this only tells how much people is focus on trashing iOS7 for whatever reason.

Here are the pics on my iPhone 4S, again.

I interpreted the OP to mean that the thin blue lines are ugly when the next/previous arrows are disabled, not that he thought it was a bug that they are disabled.

And yes, I suppose the purpose of this thread is to trash iOS 7 for being ugly, and the length of this thread is reflective of the existence of a significant number of forum posters who do think it is ugly.

Thanks :)

In threads like these it seems people prefer to rant and tend to ignore any form of logical debate.
