Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 11.1 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

I've had decent luck with iOS 11 and the 11.1 beta on my 7. Occasionally my bluetooth music drops out for a few seconds, then comes back in. Occasionally some operations cause some stuttering. Overall quite stable.
Beta 2 has been very fast on my 6 Plus. Night and day comparison between it and 11.0. Animations are incredibly fast. For example, I was able to scroll through the last page on Safari before it had even loaded. That said I will say that battery life hasn’t been the best.
FACTORY

we know iOS 11 *is* capable of running “normally”, I’m so tired of seeing all of these complaints about it, just do a factory reset.
Willing to bet most of these people having issues also ran the betas before upgrading to the GM.
I did a FR and went back to the normal 11 release. Battery still horrendous, app lag, apps getting stuck in portrait constantly. So FR does not work in all instances (iPhone 7/128GB)
No. No no no no. And no.
A product is not "fine" if a significant number of people are having issues.
You seem to be under some crazy notion that if most people don't have issues, that makes a software product fine. That's so absurdly wrong it isn't even funny. A product is only "fine" if the number of people having issues is very very small.
The lack of logic and critical reasoning in some posts is downright appalling.
While I am personally ambivalent toward emoji, I suspect the big issue is that Apple spend so much time espousing the new emoji rather than new technology.
New emoji? fine... but what else you got?
3D Touch lag seems to be fixed on iPhone 7 Plus on this new beta 3
True. Would be very, very happy with the option to disable emoji's systemwide.
You understand that every article about iOS 11.1 betas are going to mention the new emoji because it’s a new feature in iOS 11.1 and those betas are coming out weekly. Are you guys really going to complain every single time a new iOS 11.1 beta comes out?
So, "iOS 11 has been absolute dog ***** for me." is fine to post, but a counterpoint to that is not?
There are close to 500 million people on iOS 11. A few hundred (or thousand) posting about issues online is hardly significant.
What were you saying about critical reasoning again?
You guys do realize that the team that works on Emoji's is not going to overlap with the team working on something like iCloud + iMessage? And please don't equate IQ to Emoji usage, bragging about IQ is about the cringiest thing you can do on the internet.
It does appear that iOS 11 has some performance problems that can be fixed by a factory reset. For instance:

However, blaming the users for software problems is problematic for two reasons:
- it's not their fault
- by advising them to reset, Apple may have lost a chance to gain data on why this is happening in the first place.
(That, and/or Apple is already aware of the issue.)
Apple are the ones to draw the concrete emoji implementation. They also built their own spec (because there wasn't one yet) on how to do color symbols in a TrueType font in the first place. And, of course, they contribute to Unicode, so they're involved in picking and choosing which emoji make it to the next Unicode release.
So, yes, they do indeed make the emoji. Not alone, but they do.
Seriously, how hard is it to fix the calculator bug?!? It’s so stupid, it just needs to be fixed already!!
