iOS 11 Installed on 25% of Devices One Week After Launch

I have an android device and thats still on Jelly Bean. Why does it have an old OS ? Because the maker of the phone has never released an update, and its not directly updatable from any other source.
they would still be counted (if online and used) in the non-upgrade numbers. just because a device doesn't qualify for an update doesn't suddenly mean the device stops working. There are likely plenty of people on iPhone's that wont get iOS11, but are running iOS10 fine. They'll likely either have to buy a new device to move into the iOS11 cetogory, or they'll stay in the iOS10 (or earlier) category for the time being). They shouldn't be removed from the count (that would be cheating these numbers)
My Air 2 is the same; stutters everywhere and apps taking twice as long to open. Say what you like about android about how they get slower over time, but you get the option to uninstall and change the OS as often as you like. I really wasnt going to update because several of my banking apps are still 32 bit, but relented thinking they will update them. My own fault.
...or to continue with your earlier analogy: Not counting those devices would be like measuring from the taint.
Your facts do not support my narrative. Therefore, I will engage my ad hominem skills to redirect your attention to an unrelated topic where I hold an advantage of vague innuendo coupled with nonsensical puffery. To wit, Lord Vic is a poo poo head and Kit Kat has stuxnet. Ipso facto... iOS supercedes. Awww yeah.
I honestly think iOS 11 is running better on my SE than 10 did. The browsing experience is better and the phone just feels smoother. The only hiccups I’ve had are it won’t always unlock immediately (I have Rest Finger to Open enabled) and Field Test Mode doesn’t show the dbm numbers in the corner anymore. I would rather have a number than vague bars.
Pass. I read nothing but issues and lag on the 7+ with iOS 11, and after my experience on the 6+ and iOS 10, I doubt I'll be updating.
Not gonna lie, I've got an iPhone 6 and with every latest iOS update it has gotten buggier, slower, and battery life has continued to decrease. If it doesn't help my device and runs like ****, then Apple shouldn't make it part of the compatible list of devices that can update. Because I'm not going to spend $1,000 on a new iPhone anytime soon... if ever.
I just haven't gotten around to sifting through my 100+ 32-bit apps to see which ones I need (or want) to look for a 64-bit alternative.
Try a clean iOS 11 install using iTunes. Wipe it, fresh iOS 11 install, fresh install apps. This will go a long way to clearing up problems and issues. Incremental updates on a major iOS refresh usually result in lag and other problems.
My brand new iPhone 8 Plus lagged as soon as I opened it. It has nothing to do with having a fresh install. iOS 11 is just poorly optimised and is a disgrace from Apple. Even after this update my iPhone with its ‘fastest mobile chip ever’ in a phone still lags. Quality control is just lost at Apple these days and has been ever since Forstall was fired.
you win the internet for today

Why always, yes always the negativity towards Apple product from you, if you don't like it then it might be a better option to stay away here.
And no, Apple does not force you to update, 'you' make the choice to update
My original iPad Air (I know it is old) was working absolutely fine until this upgrade.
I don’t buy into the conspiracies and other bollocks that they are meant to force you to upgrade but iOS 11 definitely has something wrong with it because my iPad is pretty much a damn brick now.
The quality of the coding is being lowered every release, not to mention the design, for instance there are some instances of text overlapping the search area and loupe icon in the music app.
It’s like the extreme and over the top attention to detail is fading away.

I've got games I want to keep that are 32 so haven't upgraded. On 6s+. I'll update them on iPad to keep them and prop wait initial v2 on phone. Or just wait. Phone is fine so do no need to update.
Annoyingly old iPhone 5s which better half is about to use is stuck on what it was or on 11.
Don't want to go to 11 as no report of does it screw it?
No stutter when swiping between photos in the photos app? No lag when scrolling (long scroll then let go) in the App Store? No flickering glitch when going in and out of some apps?
If not I envy you. I see nothing but UI glitches and stuttets aroind the OS.
If you look at recent iOS history, it seems like the newest devices are the ones iOS is not quite optimized for out of the box. I believe people had complaints about the 7+ animations last year and possibly the 6s+ before that. It usually gets ironed out after awhile.
THis post right here is the gem of this thread.
