It's the unreadably tiny text that is a problem for me on iOS 7. I had
to back out an update to GoodReader when that app followed suit and I
really struggled to read the menus. Developers appear to have decided
that on retina displays the pixels are tiny so that means they can cram
in lots of tiny text and to a lesser extent icons. It was much better
when all apps were designed for iPad 2's lower resolution and simply
looked better on retina dislays.

Updates for existing apps are still happening I find, I've had 4 updates
this week and recent ones have included ITV Player, BBC Weather, BBC
iPlayer, SpeedTest, Mocha Telnet. So others are managing to get updates
on the App Store which work on iOS 6.

I particularly noticed that the change text for a recent BBC update
(Weather or iPlayer, I forget which) said it fixed a problem which only
occured on iOS 5. So the BBC can support back to iOS 5, never mind iOS
6.

As for iOS 7, all the developers should be made to wear glasses that
reduce their eyesight to a 70 year old and then we'll see what happens
to the UI. I'm only 48 and my eyesight isn't that bad but I still
struggle even with my glasses on.
