Apple Getting Bad At UI Design

If there is one thing Apple is known for, is its obsessive pursuit of perfection when it comes to good design. However, I have been finding more and more examples lately of them completely dropping the ball. Here is one example of a terrible UI design choice - look at how low the contrast is between the text and the background when the background is a certain colour. This is just the standard weather background they recently introduced. The text should have toggled to white, like it does on a sunny day.
