I guess iOS 8 stands out as the worst for me as I had major issues (biggest one that impacted me was that I literally could not answer a phone call for weeks which made me contemplate dumping the Apple ecosystem altogether), whereas with iOS 11 I’ve heard that others have had issues but I haven’t experienced any myself.
iOS 11 is a nightmare. I've never seen a release be so riddled with problems. And that doesn't even begin to touch on the crazy issues that the iPhone X seemed to be having.
I also have to say iOS 8 stands out for me as it just floored my iPad 3. if iOS 7 took away the absolute immediacy/ snappiness, iOS 8 just opened it up and poured a tin of treacle inside it. Up until that point I'd been sceptical about the software update slowdowns making a meaningful difference, but that update proved it to me the hard way
But iPhone 5S is already crap on iOS 11 and 12 will make it more worse?
No way, iPhone 6 will mostly be dropped on iOS 13. It still have two years left
.
Agreed, it’s the worse among others. I hope Apple drop support for 5S in iOS 12
OSX Snow Leapord focused on some stability things and the one added feature was really for power users. iOS 11 made huge strides for iPad productivity and iOS 12 could be the cherry on top stability wise. Think of how iOS 6 was pretty polished and just filled in some little gaps throughout the OS nothing huge. Would love a modern version of that. I think iOS 12 could simply add multiuser support for iPads and that plus polish would make for one of the best versions since iOS 6.
iPhone 6 still contains 1GB ram that’s not quite possible. iPhone 6 will support iOS 12.They make macOS and iOS one. Drop all 1GB ram devices and only A10+ can use a continuum like feature.
iOS 11 is a mess. Hoping iOS12 to be more stable and bugs free.
Apart from few apps crashing here and there. It’s stable for me now (the latest ones)
I have an iPhone 5s which I use daily…Now how is iOS 11 crap on this device? It runs fine for me and after restoring the system to factory settings it runs even better.
You can hope all that you won't but I don't think they will. I think iOS 13 will be the last release to support iPhone 5s.
I’ve actually looked into comparing the A8 to A7 performance wise, the only real significant difference is going to be the gpu power between the two. The A8 is immensely more powerful in terms of graphics. The cpu performance itself is a very minimal difference. Overall I’d say 80% chance A7 is getting support with 20% they cut A7 because poor gpu performance, which on iPad Air is becoming increasingly noticeable.
or the ios 12 can simply kill the 5s like the ios 9 killed the 4S despite the focus on perfomance and stability
iOS 10 ran fine on the iPhone 5/5c... The A7 is plenty powerful enough that it shouldn't be a huge issue (5s has almost 6 times the processing power compared to the 4s), it's just a matter of if Apple wants to support 6 years worth of devices.
i dont think they want but we will see , maybe they will surprise us with stable and acceptebly fast iOS on 5s
I’m expecting that at this point they set the bar pretty low with the buggy release of iOS 11, if they truly minimize feature additions and focus on stability and performance iOS 12 could run great on A7 devices and even excellent on A8+ devices. I’d love for them to just be like okay we added 3 new features to iOS 12 and then we fixed hundreds of bugs and optimized code. Then for the screen we’re they show all the new little features instead show like the top 30 bugs they fixed. That would be so amazing for a geeky person to see Apple take that dedication to just polish the current iOS adding only a few user facing additions.
