iOS7 apps are littered with this kind of stuff. In truth, I doubt iOS7 is any more confusing to a newbie than the original iOS was, and since there's so very little to do in most places, it doesn't take much experimenting to learn. The most grating thing to me at an intellectual level is the lack of consistency, but part of the smartphone experience is using apps which often have their own styles anyway (especially games).

I just tell myself it's all a giant A/B test and iOS8 will consolidate one specific set of styles.

"In truth" implies you have a fact to share, when in fact, it's just your opinion. Better to use "In all honesty" since you were being a bit dishonest in saying that "IOS7 apps are littered with this kind of stuff".
