I'm especially referring to 6s owners. Mine got quite slow, and no, it's not from the animations, after updating to iOS 11. TBH, it was also slow 1-2 months before that but it's really noticeable on iOS 11. There are many articles about Apple slowing down their older devices so the sales go up. I personally kinda knew that was true but never cared because I didn't have issues when switching from iOS 9 to iOS 10.
Another thing is my battery seems to drain faster. I'm actually using my replaced 6s because the first one was from the defected batch. Any feedback?
 
My 6+ got much slower. I denied that iOS 11 had anything to do with it until I got my 8+. Now I can see the difference and it's bad.
 
My 6S+ didn't get any slower, still runs great, minus some sub-par scrolling in apps like Youtube. I am keeping mine for another year!
 
I’m on a 7 Plus until I upgrade and IOS 11 is great, very snappy and no issues.

It may speed up and the battery get better after a day or two when the phone is done re-indexing. The 6S will be a bit slower but quite usable
 
I will be currently updating to 11.0.1. Will report after few days.
