I want to say people have successfully filed lawsuits for removal of software features in the past:

May the odds be forever in your favor!
It was bound to happen, but does seem on the sooner side than other major iOS version updates
They really wanna accelerate those adoption rates. This is one way to accomplish that.

This is what planned obselesence looks like.
"New OS running like a dog on your old hardware, want to roll back? Well you cant, better buy our fancy new device for $1000 + $200 from last year for no good reason, +$300 becasue you live in Australia and we can".

I joined that class action settlement for a friend of mine. Waste of time.

Only via OTA upgrade
This is good news. iOS 11 is the best and more secure version ever released, and nobody should think of going back. Disabiling the ability for downgrades is a smart move by Apple, as it will protect users from the many vulnerabilities in older versions of iOS.
Let’s not forget that the average person has no idea how to downgrade to a previous version of iOS, or that it’s even possible to do so. They just upgrade when prompted to do so and if it slows down their phone, they live with it and bitch to their friends and family about it. While this story is a big deal around here, the average iPhone user couldn’t care less.
And that has to do with my comment about Apple not signing anything but the current version how???
Switch to Android. They seem to have the process nailed down to a perfect science.
I'm happily part of the 65% who didn't upgrade.
Is it just me, or has Apple been narrowing the cut-off time frame?
If you're talking about plugging the phone in, holding down the button combination for ten seconds, etc, that was what I just tried to do. Aside from that, I've tried to reset the settings, and all the other applicable choices in the reset sub menu.
I also tried logging out of iCloud, turning off iMessage, restarting, then logging back into iCloud. It decided to tun on all the tracking stuff and uploaded my photos to iCloud. I hate that. I don't want Apple or anyone else having access to my work.
why so fast, i did downgraded but still black screen, so far i wonder if it display parts damaged on logic board or just screen issue, since I don't have phone dropped or liquor damaged, also no third party touched.
just read one lady has been charged $448 for same issue after upgrade and so far I don't have any responses from Apple

This is a hostile move.
Apple is hostile towards its users.

Walled garden starting to look like walled prison. No escape.
Gee's I'm happy I've downgraded my iPhone 7 to iOS 10.3.3 2 days ago.
Apple is insecure and heavy-handed. They seem threatened and offended that some people think their new software is crap and would rather go back (myself included).
iOS 11 adoption rates have been slower than 10 and judging by this behaviour 12 will be even slower still.
