This is true as well. Features over optimization. Bring back Snow Leopard style optimization!
Battery life: Charged my phone up to ~90% last night. 18 hours later, it's at 66%. Usage is by no means heavy or even moderate. No complaints here....
Thank you! I feel more confident in the golden version. I wonder what the change was...
There’s always a reason to “wait,” after I’m proven right, they’ll say “wait until 11.x!!” I’ll probably be waiting until WWDC 2018 and IOS 12 before they fully optimize IOS 11.
How buggy the GM ends up being may delay my purchase of a 7s since you're stuck with iOS 11 on the new phones.
As it stands I will likely be waiting at least until 11.1 with my 6S+.
I’m on the latest beta on my iPhone 6s. The battery seemed to get low quickly for me (at about 20% after unplugging at 7am normal use till 6pm), so I decided to drain the battery to then do a full recharge overnight. My phone got to 1% with General Facebook use, so I switched to YouTube to quickly drain the battery so I could plug it in. Left it playing a 3 hour video. An hour later it was still 1% and playing the YouTube clip. It died somewhere in the second hour.
I wonder if sometimes its just the battery percentage really going screwy, rather then the ammount in the battery.
I don’t think they ever read correctly. I’ve tried all that as well. It’s just garbage in 11 beta.
Some here say that the GM is already built and these latest betas will only be reporting bugs to fix for x.x releases. IF that's true then the GM will be no different other than maybe turning off diagnostics and logging etc for beta software. So yeah 11.x perhaps before things get sorted again. Not entirely unusual. Seems the last versions of every iOS are the ones that work really well. (8.3.4, 9.3.5, 10.3.3)
Agreed, the battery calibration has been a common "fix" for a long time. Especially after a new iOS update. Two things that have always helped after an update, reset all settings then drain battery all the way until shutdown and fully charge unattended. You just saw the results of an off calibration.
I don't seem to have this issue. I can type 'you' in search and it brings up YouTube as a result:
I can however recreate this, when YouTube is turned off in the 'Siri & Search' settings. Typing 'you' does not bring up YouTube, only typing 'youtube' in full does:
May be worth checking this out in your settings.
Have you tried checking your battery stats with coconutBattery on a Mac? I'm having terrible battery life on my iPhone 6 but not my iPad Air with iOS 11. According to coconutBattery, the design capacity of the iPhone 6 is 1180 mAh. Running under iOS 11, my iPhone 6 shows a full charge capacity of only 487 mAh! My wife's iPhone 6 purchased at the same time shows full charge of 1757 mAh. Mine has more charge cycles, but since this started with the iOS 11 PB install, I'm thinking it's that.
I'm wondering if iOS 11 isn't correctly determining full charge of the battery.
(Yes, I've submitted bug reports to Apple. I'm just wondering if other people with battery problems might see the same data as I am.)
Had 47%, rebooted phone and had 54% when it came back on. Two minutes later, 49%.

So, i was unable to use search to locate the YouTube app, until I added YouTube to "Siri & Search." But this is counter-intuitive. I don't want Siri/Search to use "information from YouTube" when I search. I just want to locate & launch the bloody app. Come on Apple, that's an easy use case to differentiate.
I have exactly the same issue - in search I have to type the entire exact name for an App to come up whereas in iOS10 the first letter brought up the right one almost immediately....
Ludicrous. There'd be no better way to implement a process of continual bug creation than to rewrite something as complex as an OS from scratch. Modern operating systems consist of ~50-80 million lines of code, and are the collective efforts of thousands of programmers over many years. Updates to those operating systems is an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one. They're not getting rewritten every year, or every 5 years. Or every 10 years. That's why they're called "versions." Think about it.
Case in point, do you recall what happened when Apple tried to replace mDNSResponder with discoveryd in 10.10? Chaos. And that was a very tiny component of the OS.
Rewriting an OS doesn’t have to be a revolutionary process but it certainly needs to be done to limit the add ons of bugs alongside new features. These features are not Apps. They don’t just get added in its respective folder and ran in a sandboxed environment. References have to be made throughout system wide and for some would certainly fail if you just plopped them into existing code.
I’m not saying every single line of code has to be different but you can’t tell me that a Home screen crash is just the result of a few new files and resources brought in ‘on top’ of a fully functional OS
I can type Y and get youtube.
