Yes, in iOS 10 you do not have to do all the extra steps and go to settings, you can disable from the control center. Even if you disable in the control center on iOS 11, it is not disabled
I will keep my phone on 10. It's the first time I haven't upgraded. I'm extremely annoyed that Apple wont allow me to opt out, so I'll be looking at alternatives when I replace the family phones.
I've moved the computers to Windows, will look for alternate phones.. enjoying my Shield TV.. just need to find a tablet I can live with.

People seem to realize that Apple automatically enrolls them in a permanent, prolonged beta cycle.
I pass.
Wish I hadn't upgraded to iOS 11 with my 6s. I have to charge my phone at noon now and end the day in low power mode every night while before I could finish the day without charging. Found out going back to iOS 10 is not possible any more. Thank you Apple for ruining my great phone.
I have two 6s phones. Business and private. Upgraded to iOS 11 on the business phone and it is a step backwards. Keep private on iOS 10, so all is nice and smooth
typically I upgrade by the end of the iOS cycle, never want to be a beta tester

No wonder with their agressive update strategy. I updated by accident because of the repeating asking
I actually think there is absolutely no relation with the quality of the iOS version. Yes, some might delay updating after reading about bugs, battery life,... but I think it's not a significant fraction of the total users. I think the slower and slower uptake with every version is just due to the increase, every year, of devices that cannot install it (I mean, I still know people happily using their iPhone 4, if not a 3GS...)
Sticking with iOS 10 on my iPad Pro 2017. Apple is not ruining my tablet like they did my 7 Plus.
It's likely more than 90% of Android smartphone users don't concern themselves with OS updates. They can take it or leave it as long as they're not have any serious OS problems. Most Android users buy a cheap smartphone and they use it until it dies. When they buy a new Android smartphone they get the updated OS. Most people I've known who use Android smartphones have no idea what OS level their smartphone is running. Why should they care? I always thought that mainly developers were concerned with how well the platform was maintained. With all the carriers and brands involved using Android, there's no way anyone can keep track of OS updates for a billion or more smartphones. Most active Android smartphones will always be years behind Google's latest OS. Android market share percentage continues to grow to prove almost no one cares whether their smartphone's OS is up-to-date or not.
That's because updates aren't always good and Android users know this. Look at the infamous Apple device slowdown every year.
Apple users know this as much as Android users, it's just that on Android you usually don't have that option unless you install custom ROMs.
This is extremely useful information to us developers, because then we can make an informed decision about supporting older OSs.
I have an 8+ and the battery life flat out sucks. App store won't update apps without restarting.
I just don't get people that don't want to update iOS. I understand waiting for Apple to work out bugs before you update, but many updates including iOS11 included many "under the hood" security updates. So you telling me that that you are going to use banking apps, apple pay, and have sensitive information on your phone and you choose not to update it? Don't blame Apple if your phone gets compromised by a hacker.
lol literally just 2 more taps on your screen. just throw the device away; it's useless now.
Keep telling yourself that. You can also pretend security updates get rolled out with Google Play Services too.
Incredibly hard? i just had to tap "not now" or whatever it said. But yeah, it was pretty darn difficult.
My iPhone 7 is and will stay happily on iOS 10.1.1, extra_recipe works great for me. As I did with the 7 I won't buy iPhone x until a jb is released and then find a iphone x on that firmware after having jailbroken all my iPhones and iOS devices, from os2 and up I find stock hideous. and actually go dumb. When I try to do certain tasks that I have activator options for once you get so used to the shortcuts going back to the walled garden is not a option for me... I like r/w access on my devices because then I can truely control and download files and move them. To my personal desires... I've had many androids and they all fail on me. Only iPhones can handle the ways I use them and not crash from the process. But stock iOS is worthless for me, and I already have 60-70% of iOS 11 features enabled on my 7 with 10.1.1 probably won't even upgrade it when or if, iOS 11 jb drops for the x... I have zero desire for the 8 series
Because the control center option is now disconnect rather than disable in iOS 11. You can disable from settings, or disconnect from control center.

Yes: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
But, like the iPhone data herein, that still doesn't really tell us how many of those devices are actually eligible to be updated beyond their current state. (Safe to say, that's a much harder nut to crack on both sides of the tracks.)
Makes me think about the Apple 1984 ad against IBM. And now Apple is the new big brother.
