Literally the worst iOS version I've ever installed. Ruined my iPhone 6.

I said "might be", but, I bet as soon as others say it's soooo much better you'll be on it asap.
Not surprising: a release full of bugs, no new features and that slows your phone to the point it’s unusable.
I wonder where are all those who said it was a great release full of features and that ARkit was revolutionary

My 6s is still running 9.3.5 and can confirm its fast and super smooth and great battery life.
What percentage of active iPhones are iPhone 5, 5C or 4S? You still see a lot of these about, and they cannot run iOS 11. There must also be a fair number of older iPads still in use that can't run it.
IMO, these statistics are just pure stupid because people have no choice but to upgrade or get upgraded. If your device is compatible it will happen.
No, just delete it from Settings/General/Storage & iCloud Usage/Manage Storage/iOS11 then Delete Update.
It's gone from your phone. To stop it coming back remember to attach to power outlet with wi-fi switched off or block the port on your router that calls the Apple servers for the update
iOS 11 is now installed on 65 percent of iOS devices, according to new statistics Apple shared yesterday on its App Store support page for developers.
That's up six percentage points since December 5, when iOS 11 was installed on 59 percent of devices, and 13 percentage points since November 6, when iOS 11 was installed on 52 percent of devices.
28 percent of devices continue to use iOS 10, while earlier versions of iOS are installed on seven percent of iOS devices.
Since iOS 11 was released, its adoption rate has been quite a bit slower than iOS 10 adoption rates in 2017. In January of 2017, for example, iOS 10 was installed on 76 percent of iOS devices.
Apple has released several updates for iOS 11 since its September launch, but the operating system has also been plagued by bugs and security issues, which doesn't appear to have helped adoption rates.
iOS 11.2.1 and iOS 11.2.2, the two latest iOS 11 updates, were both released to address major bugs and vulnerabilities. iOS 11.2.1 fixed a HomeKit bug that allowed for unauthorized access to HomeKit accessories, while iOS 11.2.2 introduced mitigations for the Spectre vulnerability impacting all modern processors.
iOS 11.2, released in early December, did bring some major new features to the operating system, like Apple Pay Cash and 7.5W Wireless Charging, but even that update doesn't appear to have spurred a larger than normal growth in adoption rate.
Some iOS 11 users who were unhappy with the current version of iOS were also able to recently downgrade their operating systems when a brief oversight saw Apple signing older versions of iOS dating back to iOS 6.
Apple next week will introduce iOS 11.2.5, another update that introduces an important bug fix for an exploit that allows a malicious link to freeze the Messages app when received via text message.
Though iOS 11 adoption is slower than iOS 10 adoption was last year, it still radically outpaces adoption rates of the latest versions of Android on Android-supported devices. Just 0.7 percent of Android devices are running Android Oreo, the newest version of Android released in 2017. 26.3 percent of Android devices run a version of Nougat, released in 2016, and 28.6 percent of Android devices continue to run 2015's Marshmallow.

I have worked for a long time in a phone store, I can say that most users who are on iOS11 would like to be able to return to iOS 10
If I was still on an earlier version of 10 I would never upgrade my 6s to 11. I suspect it would feel quick and relevant for a long, long time. I'll bet the battery would be adequate long past Apple's throttling imposition, too.
Of course there's still a choice, otherwise everyone who has a device capable of running iOS 11 would already be on it, which is certainly not the case. And the statistics are there mainly for developers, so it's just something "pure stupid".
well soon we will be able to turn off the throttling and see for ourselves if the phone starts misbehaving with reboots.
***WARNING CONSPIRACY THEORY AHEAD***
if it does, one might wonder then "what if they did also added some other stuff in the code, along with the option to disable throttling, to make it reboot on purpose when battery gets to certain age" in order to further hide some defects that were with the old batteries
*** END OF CONSPIRACY THEORY***
I wish they'd stop bragging about this kind of thing. It is NOT reflective of anything at all except that they are completely opaque on security matters.

Let me put it this way. IF Apple allowed anyone to use any version of iOS they wanted, and you could FREELY switch from ANY version of iOS between the one your hardware shipped with, and the last one it's capable of running, upgrading and/or downgrading AT WILL, and GUARANTEED to support with security updates, ALL versions of iOS still running on ANY devices, THEN we'd see how much people would choose their most recent version of iOS.
Apple boasting about the adoption rates of their latest version of software is like a mugger bragging about how much people just LOVE giving him their valuables.
This is one of many reasons I'm about ready to wash my hands of Apple for the last time.
I tend to criticize Apple more than praising them , but iOS 11 on a 6s with a newer battery seems fine. Not much different in performance than the newer models. I have used an 8 plus and a 6s hand in hand.
I really think it has to do with 2 gig vs 1 gig of memory for the OS to work with. With a new battery and my 6s on 11 , I have no desire to upgrade my phone this year and the air 2 in my house still holds it own just fine on 11.
*** iOS Update available *** - “No, thanks!”
*** iOS Update still available *** - “No, thank you!”
*** How about an update tonight? *** - “No, really, it’s fine!”
*** I really think you should update *** - “Please don’t disturb me. I am reading my news right now!”
*** It only takes a few minutes *** - “Hmmmmgggrrrff! I don’t want it!”
*** Are you sure? *** - “YES! YES, I AM!”
*** Your device will run much better with it *** - “LEAVE ME ALONE!”
*** Image the possibilities *** - “AH, FOR F&#$ SAKE!”
*** 28% of all other iOS users are smarter than you! *** - “#$$d&# @#$% +&*$!!!!”

Not surprising, since they force the update to you over the air (unless you’ve turned off automatic updates, enabled by default) and then it even PROMPTS ITSELF and nags you to update. Millions probably do it by mistake. And then that’s not even mentioning how Apple doesn’t make it easy to delete the update and NOT install, which is 3 or 4 menus deep in a hidden spot nobody ever notices.
But hey, that adoption rate!!! Wow!

You’re one of the smart ones!
Bug fixes that ads more bugs,
Failedpromises with no specific launch timelines - ahem iMessage in iCloud!,
Siri STILL a joke of an assistant vs being an AI.
I don’t want to see Craig on stage smiling until major bugs are mixed, performance stable and improved, iMessage in cloud launched, and choice to end users to disable throttling as all been completed texted thrice and pushed with clear description!
Last stage presence and he’s acting the fool with Animoji with this facade going on. Sorry this is different than those that rage against Iovine - as there is more significance in poor efforts by the iOS team this version.
