Another example of this is scrolling views w/ buttons. Apple put out a whole whitepaper on how you have to take care to get this problem right: it's a subtle thing where you need to figure if the touch input is intended to be a scroll or a button tap.
But after the latest redesign (a few years ago, now) "App Store" doesn't even get this right.
Try scrolling around on the "Today" tab, picking various random points on the screen to scroll. You'll notice sometimes your scroll input is completely disregarded. Totally buggy.
That's because if your touch starts on a button, you can't scroll. The button just steals it. Apple needs to read their own whitepaper!
I don't know if it's just all the original people left or new leadership that doesn't have a feel for UI or what, but things are prettty rough.
(I'm tempted to jump ship to Android/Linux, but despite Apple falling off, I know things will actually still be worse there. Unless a miracle has occurred.)
Apple should hire me as Czar of Software Quality. ;-)
