I'm just basing this off what version gave me the most headaches and bugs. For me that's been iOS 8

It eventually sorted out but that initial few months was a bumpy one

11 is the best - smooth, low battery usage, plenty of function and I'm not kidding I really feel that way

Yep, I actually agree with you. Now I must say I've been extremely fortunate as I really can't remember having any big problems with iOS since I started using it, which would be iOS 5.

It's pretty hard to choose a "worst" version, but if I had to, I think I'd go with 7. Again, no showstoppers, but maybe the switch to the flat design was at first a bit jarring. The right move definately, IMO, but still.

Do you realize the whole point of this post was to make a more up-to-date version of those threads? The first one you can no longer vote on and the second one doesn't even ask a question nor have a poll.

I don’t think many people care anymore....We all know iOS 11 is terrible. Repeated posts on here with polls prove that.....Nothing you can do about it. 12 will be here soon. Let’s move on already!!

And the current poll doesn't even offer an option for the current iOS and lumps it together with the previous one.
Yes, because you can’t make more than ten entries. If you know how to get more than 10, then go ahead, tell me.

I can make a post of anything I want. I don’t care if others care or not nor the fact other people have made a post just like this.

You should have put iPhone OS together instead of 10 and 11. The newer ones are more relevant to 2018.

iOS 11 is far buggy and mess compared to previous iOS versions, Even my flagship 8 Plus lags and stutter’s some time. What a mess!!

iOS 7 and iOS 11 were bug infected OS. iOS 7 was understandable because it introduced a completely new design, but iOS 11 makes me wonder what was going on at Apple. But, hey, I expect the resigned iOS 13 in 2019 to be really buggy (like 7/11) while iOS 12 this year will be very stable.

Personally, while I liked the first iPhone compared to the other phones at the time, that was the worst version of iOS. Anyone who remembers the original hacked app style will understand why.

iOS 11 on iPhone - many bugs. (For example dissappearing clock and notifications untill 11.3) It happened every day for 3 months. After i found which combination is causing this... But Apple fix it in 11.3.
On the other side on iPad iOS 11 works well from 11.1.
