It will interesting to watch the rate of adoption given that there are a lot 32bit devices that cannot be upgraded. I have three 32bit devices that are running quite nicely, a testament to Apple's hardware., but lost to software. Will further jailbreak opportunities emerge to address the post IOS 10.x need? Raspbian anyone?
I think the update slowdown is mostly due to update fatigue. I have family members and coworkers who know there is an update, see the red bubble, have told me they have no reason not to update, but don't update because they don't feel like it at the moment or they don't see any reason to rush. They mainly say the last update or two didn't improve anything so drastically as to make them want to do it now. Eventually, the phone will ask them if its ok to auto-update overnight, and they'll probably do it then.
Updated my 7+ on day 1. So far no issues and no lag. Device runs smoother than ever.
Things that were also said by some about iOS 10 and 9, for example.

Because it's not like there could be all kinds of other reasons and variables in play.
I think I'll be hanging onto my 6+, and keeping it on 10 indefinitely.. for 32 bit apps. I was planning to get a X when available, but honestly thinking I might just get one for the wife and call it a day. I just don't care about phone upgrades anymore. I'm always down for a new iPad, but the phone is just used for calls, texts, camera nowadays.
So true. Even with their iOS updates and processor capabilities, new iPhones are not even beating out a S8 plus in application speed and ram management. Thats just why adopting the latest full OS update doesn't change certain things.
Quick Off topic: Something like this made rethink and go with note 8, but if s9 star (rumor) is coming out, then Apple has to get their game up.
"...much faster...", "...well, not really much faster...quite similar..."
Yeah, that sounds like some interesting commentary.
(That's overlooking that it's not even an apples to oranges type of comparison.)
You can't update which APIs are supported through the play store. For example, if Google rolls out a new AR API to compete with Apple's ARKit, that won't be a playstore update.
Can I say how much I hate the new animation that, when double-clicking to view open apps, "diminishes the current window before bringing up the list of open apps"? Why was that necessary? Am I the only one that now double-double clicks because I think the first one was registered as a single-click? Why on earth would an animation that DELAYS the requested action be considered a good thing?
Just downgrade. You sound like it's unfixable. I did a clean update to 11 on my iPhone6 128Gb and it slowed it right down. Totally unacceptable. Just restored it to iOS10 while Apple is still signing it and my phone is now perfect. Smooth super fast and battery lasts all day long just like before. Screw major Apple updates.

This has only been the case with new iPhones since iOS 7 up to now. Before that when I bought my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 they were both smooth as silk right out of the box. iOS 11 may get smoothed out but will never be as smooth as my experiences with those two phones.
I'm still on 9.3.5
6s
So you're putting yourself and others at risk by running obsolete insecure software? That's clever.
Most iOS users upgrade the OS, then since they can't go back to the old OS, they also just buy a new phone.
Loosing support for old apps what don't work with iOS 11 is one of the things it will stop me from updating.
I don't understand why Apple don't let people use old apps in iOS11. If they make your iPhone or iPad slow that is your issue and then you will know if you can't use them. But blocking old apps is not a great thing to do.

My old 6 Plus was "stutter, stutter, stutter, freeze, delay, stutter" long before iOS 11. The 6 was only 20% faster than the 5S and still had only 1GB of RAM.
My 6S Plus was worth the upgrade after just 1 year, and continuing to keep it. My 6S Plus is butter on iOS 11.
