It's funny how there's only like three things we can find that are the "worst features of iOS" and it's not really that bad.

iOS is something else- it's the most sophisticated operating system in the world.

Ever heard of Android?
Im an iOS user but I just found out that Android>IOS in my opinion

I've used Android. They're nice phones. But they simply don't compare.

The precautions that Apple has taken to perfect their OS has made it rise above all other operating systems. It's their baby.

That's why applications in iOS is so plentiful and blooming. It was hard for me to find good apps on Android.

And alot of those apps are just scary to use with the bugs and the viruses.

Android needs to be cleaned up before I can use it.

location based reminders are the worst. It uses your location in the background and hardly reminds me on time when i arrive at the location. i love the app in general just the location feature sucks.

The simple fact that people are going back and forth about whether or not an app is useless pretty much justifies it's existence in general. You might hate it, but there will always be people who can't live without it. This my friends is why these stock apps exist. I have personally jail broken and used poof to hide the stuff I don't use.... On a side note if you hide an app with poof and need to get into it real quick it's still available in Spotlight....I have poof hidden but use spotlight to access it to hide other apps.

The only 2 worse things in my book about iOS currently is

1. You can't delete a single word from the user keyboard dictionary, instead you have to reset the whole thing, which is annoying.

2. You can't choose to accept, decline, or remove yourself from group iMessage chats. I know people who've been stuck in those group messages for a couple days.

Siri - useless, more of novelty.
Newsstand - seriously who uses this thing?
Compass - see "newwstand"

Siri: I spend most of my day driving, and find Siri MASSIVELY useful.

Newsstand: Ummm... I use it for 3 magazine subscriptions.

Compass: Fair point, but it's not exactly doing any harm

The worst feature of iOS is actually that bookmark screen that come up every time you open Safari.

I will actually agree with this one. I'm not quite sure why, since the very first iPhone, it does this. Chances are, if there is something you access that much, they have their own app anyway. I rarely visit the same website twice on my phone. Usually, I am just googling stuff I need info on real quick.

I read somewhere that this is fixed in 5.1.
