I think the design absolutely requires its motion to be considered in connection with the visuals. A lot of the stuff is not much to look at until you start moving it — the Messages list, for example, is particularly impressive with independent physics applied to each message within a table cell (causing them to stack and bounce as they inherit the scroll velocity). That said, I'd be happy if they tweaked a few of the icon designs (Game Center is bizarre). But there's an incredible pleasantness to the motion that seems to suit the lighter choice of visual design — most elements seem very appropriate.
