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.

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.

I'm with you. I think most of the entries are spot on. They're simple details, but when they add up, consciously or not, they leave a bad taste. I just can't use iOS 7.

iOS7 hurts, simply hurts my eyes. After many years I'm forced out of the platform by this UI revamp.

I don't see the same inconsistency on "case". iOS7 seems to use Capitalization for verbs, "actions," whereas it uses lowercase for nouns. "Send" or "Edit" but "return".
