My Iphone 6 is running great with IOS11! Feels faster and I really like it.
I use the mic a lot and I don't like it when the keyboard disappears and you have to
click back on the keyboard every time, but maybe its just me
time will tell

Truer words. If my IT department had its way always (instead of just most of the time) we'd wait six months before updating to any new version of the Mac OS.
Super satisfied with the update, absolutely zero issues here.
Could have been your wife’s company's misfire and not apples.
My family is on iOS 11 as well as several people I know whose companies are supporting iOS 11. To each their own.
Possibly a timezone effect: I can't find any information what data Mixpanel collects, but I guess it's by internet traffic worldwide. Note that the "older" spikes are equally spaced every 24 hours at 11 am. I assume that at these times some countries were older devices with earlier versions of iOS are more active.

Add m3 to those not updating. Always been one to instantly update by after installing on my ipad mini im appaled by the user experiemce and battery life.
Ipad pro will not see update until battery life improves. If not, im switching to samsung and if microsft release a smaller surface pro, ill be jumping ship.

i have continued to use Bento on my mac that synched with the iPad for keeping track of personal inventory. Bento no longer works on the iPad. I am disappointed. Anyone have recommendations for cheap or free replacement?
The Keyboard is appaling! Damn, it looks so cluttered, is there a way to revert to older style keyboard?
I like it a lot.
The new Control centre is good and the Apple TV controller is excellent.
Faults : The audio controls in Control Centre are un-useable. Its too easy to hit 30 seconds back or forward, rather than play or vice versa, at least on my SE. I guess the bigger phones might have a bigger icon.
I'm putting the phone to sleep to get the large audio controls which are very good, and then using touch id to wake it up to avoid using the control centre for audio.
The home app controls in control centre now needs an extra click to turn lights on /off, if you are not already on the home screen. Before, if you were already on the home section, it was just a quick swipe up to adjust lights if you were not previously on something else. Not a big deal.
Some of the icons are a lot less minimalist. I like them, but I also liked the minimal ones. (app store and iTunes store) The new calculator icon seems almost retro.

It works flawlessly. I got the forced update for 12.7, downgraded to 12.6.2 and did all the updates to iOS 11 with my old iTunes 12.6.2.
iPhone 6s plus, iPhone 7, iPad Pro 12.9 first gen, iPad Pro 10.5.
everything as before. Syncing and local backup iOS 11 without any problem.
Thanks for the info. I was leaning towards not updating on my 5S. I'm pretty sure I won't now.
Well you have people leaving a current device going to an 8/8+.. you have others waiting for X.. so some of those may not update knowing they can sell their current devices with IOS 10 on them. Or they are keeping their current devices on IOS 10 knowing 32bit apps are now officially a thing of the past. There's a ton of reasons why people are going all in on IOS 11 right now.
Just found out the old Volume slider still blocks the content if you’re watching a video from your camera roll.
The new one only works with web content, as far as I tested. 1 step forward…

Look at the new calculator icon.
I hope Jony stays as long as possible. And I don't care if things are sometimes flawed. All the best things are.
I like both Apple Tv controllers too.
Leave it to this forum for commenters to take something that would be less convenient (going into Settings) and pretending it's something that's not even an option.
Semantics. It's still the same net result from an end user perspective. You download ios11 and all of a sudden some of your apps don't run anymore, and never will. It's like jumping off a cliff. A jump I won't be making as I value my old apps.
Why can't I blame both the developers AND Apple? Actually I don't even blame all of the developers. To expect some of these mom and pop outfits to keep up with Apple always changing things at their own expense and no way to recover that cost is a little unreasonable. Plus, with small one person developers someone could have literally died. Should I blame them for dying?
Nope. I would like the new features but like my old apps more.
You won't be given a list before you install if that is what you are asking. You'll get a message when you try and run them, but by then it will be too late and you will be stuck. Apple offers a way into the quicksand, but not a way back out once they stop signing off on the last ios 10 version. It's the thing I hate about Apple the most. Everything should be able to be rolled back whenever you want. One way upgrades with no recourse suck.
The fact that I have a lot of 32 bit free games on my 5s and I'm about to replace it for me means, I can't see installing IOS 11 on this 5s. IOS 11 just doesn't quite pass the cost/benefit analysis. Too much "Bag O'Hurt" The added features aren't worth a bogged down slower phone with less apps.
