I'm holding off for as long as I can, still trying to find alternatives to my "must have" 32bit Apps. :-(
Got a tip for us?

I really don't think people are reading about app slowdowns. Some people may be more cautious if they heard about problems with iOS 10 installations. Some people might be waiting for a new phone rather than updating a phone they're about to replace.
Me? I have an iPhone 5, which isn't supported. You'll see my numbers added to the installed base in November.
Why?... they're all yummy.... and who doesn't like Oreos.... less boring than a plain number.
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
The metric would only indicate satisfaction if Apple allowed reverting back to previous iOS versions.
I'd be back to 9.3 if that were the case.
Lead me to the article that shows running iOS 9.3.5 puts others at risk or better yet affected someone's iPhone by stealing all there info because they didn't upgrade to the latest iOS version. I've never heard of 1 forum member or any article ever published of a user regretting not updating because they feel victim to iOS fraud or scheme. Using your iPhone wisely goes a long way...
As long as Apple doesn't bug me about updating with multiple notifications each day, I will be just fine with iOS 10.
Yes Apple should adopt the android model where it is not even possible to upgrade the os. That would be much more valuable lol.

Yeah you can uninstall and put any os you want on it as long as it’s not a newer version of android. People trying to paint the android os situation as being superior are being absurd.
[doublepost=1506479983][/doublepost]
There is nothing to support this.
[doublepost=1506480289][/doublepost]
Yeah that is clearly a choice.
Install a tvOS beta profile and you won't be bugged.

Not for a little while at least. Most likely still need to go through a developer/public beta phase, which hasn't even started just yet.
Considering the iPhone 8 is supposed to have a faster processor then the Galaxy S8 I think all this video proves is that Samsung has much better optimized software. It's surprising how much Samsung has improved their software over the past couple years. Samsung seems to be getting smoother and quicker while Apple is the one getting the stutters and slowing down. iOS 11 is mediocre on my Air 2. It's got as many little stutters as a 4 year old build of Touchwiz and the battery doesn't last nearly as long anymore. I like the new features, but it needs a lot of polish applied to it.

It had better start soon. Apple almost immediately acknowledged new glitches (e.g. the static voice calls on some phones) less than a day after they were publicly reported.
In fact, they better be feverishly working on the WatchOS update too. The initial shipments and reviews reporting the LTE connectivity issues….. the news of that has already translated into terrible doom and gloom prognosis for the AppleWatch 3.

Apple is working on all those updates for some time already internally based on how software development lifecycle goes.
Samsung's TouchWiz was harassed for so many years. I'm sure this got to them and that's the reason it's becoming so polished. I can't wait to see what the future brings for it. The new UX is modern and futuristic and makes others look old.
Exactly.
These statistics are skewed, missing data for relative information.
iPhone 4/4S, and to a larger degree many iPhone 5 devices are NOT able to upgrade to iOS 11 yet still are in use by end users not will nor financially able to upgrade to newer hardware : especially at current pricing beyond iPhone SE.
None of the darts presented clearly states it’s omitted 32-bit coy only iOS devices from these metrics.
There are many unfixed vulnerabilities with older versions of iOS which are no longer supported by Apple. In this case, iOS 9 hasn't received any updates for over 13 months! And what about your apps, many of which will only be fully supported on iOS 10 & 11. It's a nonsense to try to justify why running old & obsolete software isn't a security concern.
Using your phone 'wisely' is laughable. You cannot control data old & vulnerable apps may be leaking. Nor can you have any control over compromised vulnerable apps.
To be fair to Android, it doesn't quite work in the same way. Google provide AppCompat libraries for developers that backport features such as material design layouts in newer releases of Android onto older versions, so the need to update isn't quite as critical as with iOS. With iOS, you're basically screwed on using any of the new features of the latest OS unless you update.
Anybody else having trouble with iOS 11 and Honda and Acura Bluetooth systems?
I'm growing a little concerned after running through a few cars and finding several problems.
10.3.3 works fine but iOS 11 does not.
Multiple tests, multiple cars in a range from 2014 - 2018.

- Low playback volume with stored audio
Low volume on Bluetooth calls making the call impossible
Contact names will not populate over numbers
Voice commands from Bluetooth HandsFreeLink no longer work
