If you are talking about the thing in the notification center then it was iOS 7.

10, simply because it killed the wonderful battery life my SE had when I first bought it when it had 9.
Oh no please explain further.
This is a reason I stayed on 9.3.3 for fear of that.
But also lack of jailbreak with signed firmware
I'm going to add a bit more hatred to iOS10, As well as the annoyance of all the problems above, I now know why I have so many missed calls. Although, not on silent, and the amount of times in last month I've said, I never heard the phone ring to so many people, but see 'missed call'... it's because it has yet another bug. The phone goes silent intermittently when I receive some calls. So I repeat, iOS10 is the worst. I NEVER had problems like any of these prior, in all these years.. So much so that this crappy update has made me want to get rid of the phone.
From a Dev's POV, iOS 7 was my least favorite.
Along with the fresh coat of paint that required entire redesigns, they laid down the frameworks for major OS expansions (things that would mature to handle WatchOS, the Extension network, and multitasking, for example), but they were pretty half assed at release and obviously not finished as many things were unreliable.
Many of my complaints with that release were handled with subsequent major revisions, so it took a long time to bring those pieces back together.

iOS 10, and specifically 10.2, has been the buggiest experience I've ever had with an iOS device.
Maybe I've just discovered more since 10.2 was released. I do feel like 10.2 slowed down my Touch ID though.
Completely disagree with that statement.
You completely disagree with the experience I've had with my iPhone? Have you been using my phone when I'm sleeping or something?
I'm seeing/hearing 10.2 is a regression from 10.1.1 with daily resprings and multiple times. That's like some 10.0.x crap
Shame on Apple.
Same with not allowing synced rips of movies, even tho I don't do that or sync anything with itunes. Apparently an artificial barrier where "music video" tagged encoded files don't play. But same extension/codec/relabeled and encoded as home video, plays fine. Not buggy persay but certainly scummy to put more salt on the wound.
All in the name of emojis, to go 10.1.x to 10.2
While some people might be experiencing some resprings, it doesn't seem to be anything widespread and basically nothing beyond what some people experience pretty much with any other version.
And emojis were but one small update that was in iOS 10.2, to pretend that it's somehow a big thing or anything like that is basically just that, pretending.
That's good to know! Hard to say how a release is unless I experience it first hand so just going off word of mouth here admittedly
I would have to say iOS 8. It completley undid the fluidity and stability we finally achievied in iOS 7.1.2. That being said, I think this question could also be expanded to ask which version of iOS was worst on which device. iOS 7 was the worst for iPhone 4, hands down. iOS 8 honestly was unstable and laggy overall. iOS 9 smoothed things out for pretty much every iPHone except for iPhone 6 which I remember the GM running horribly on. Of course it slowed down the 4s, but that was expected at that point. But iOS 10 has been good to the iPhone 6s, 6, and 5s I've seen it on!
Since iOS7, the focus from Apple seems to be on the New vs. fixing the existing. This has always been there however with 7 it became a given. 8 was better than 7, 9 was better than 8, 10 was better than 9. Still, it's the little things. Death of a thousand cuts.

Yes I agree. Personally I haven't had any issues with any version of iOS 10 (including a late beta of iOS 10 that I installed because I was having some minor issues with iOS 9.3.5) on either my 6s or mini 4. I get that not everyone has the same experience. Keep in mind that Macrumors forums will have a strong slant towards talking about problems people have had. The people who are having no issues aren't on here complaining...
I got 10 hours, 30 MIN of usage on IOS 10.0
BATTERY LIFE SAME AS IOS 9, A LITTLE BETTER SINCE I UPDATE TO IOS 10

Lucky you. Not sure what happened to mine but usage has gone to **** and I really don't use my phone that much lately hence the high standby time.
