Could somebody comment on real life speed of IOS 11.0.1 on an iphone 6?? I´m still not sure if I want to upgrade
I'm on a 6 and it 11 is working fine. Admittedly, from my perspective on iOS for 4 years now, each iOS release affects battery life - sometimes positively, sometimes negatively.

I had an initial issue when I installed where I could not get the phone to connect with my car. But I reloaded iOS using iTunes and started fresh. That appears to have solved it and is the only problem I've encountered so far.

Anyone has an issue turning on iMessage on iPad Pro 10.5 after this update ???

Edit: reopened iMessage and that fixed the prob
 
Already massively improved which is great! But I ask again, why release an unfinished product in the first place, just because you CAN update it whenever you want doesn't mean you shouldn't aim to have it solid - it's like releasing half product and saying "ah we'll finish it later".

Maybe iOS should have a "Snow Leopard", "Mountain Lion", "High Sierra" year.

This is not a possibility in software development.

If they waited for things to be 100% bug free, we would never get new features.

They have millions of lines of code worked on my thousands of developers. You cannot predict that a random line in your code might effect code of someone else's part that they might not have thought of handling.
 
Not odd at all. There are likely more very obscure bugs to be found. I imagine the thousands of testers were not looking for obscure bugs, or trying to hack the system. Also, there's a huge difference between thousands of beta testers and millions of users using a device.

There will be more, as with any complex device using complex software.

There is a definite conflict of interest here with apple. Because they make the Hardware and Software, there is an opportunity to get users to upgrade by simply slowing down iOS on old devices.

Windows XP words fantastically on new hardware. Apple have a 'six year rule' with macOS support.
Yet iPhone, apples biggest money spinner, appears to have a '2 year rule'. (my 2 year old iPhone 6 slowed down last year).
At £1000 an iPhone with 2 years before 'slow down' and a 12 month warranty, it makes me wonder.

Just updated iPhone 7 - 3D touch still jittery; iPad mini 4 also feels about same as before -slight occasional stutters in scrolling; But i Guess i should give some more time for things to settle..? Updating iPad pro 10.5 now; It was already performing great in 11.0, so am in no hurry updating to 11.0.1
