I don't think he is talking about the "flat" UI but the typography... font size, weight, family and contrast makes a big difference in readability. This is definatly a down side to iOS, you can't zoom many screens or adjust the font. iOS 7 at least does add a font size adjustment in settings now... but not all apps will be affected... only apps with text that "flows"... I assume there is are certain native controls that will be affect by that setting.
