It’s true. I have an iPhone 6s Plus. I can feel the difference between iOS 11 a d 10.3.3
And I experience sudden animation stutters on my iPad Pro 2017
Worst iOS to date.

Once again, if you back out the 200M devices incapable of updating from iOS 10 to 11 from the calculation, you get... 48.125 % adoption.
Slower uptake by a whopping 0.035%.

It's pretty bad on the 7 plus. Pretty much same experience but add in the music app wouldn't open and I couldn't watch any video content from any source. At least with 11.01 and a complete wipe and restore it is useable but still laggy and I still find apps that crash unless I delete and reinstall them. I downloading 11.02 right now to see if I can get back to 10.3.3 performance. Easily one of the worse update experiences I've had in a long long time on any product.
I'm anxious to update, especially on my iPad Pro, but I'm holding off due to my fears or performance degradation. My iPad Pro is my main computing device and I'm incredibly reliant on my 6S Plus, so I can't risk slow, potentially glitchy performance yet despite the huge improvement to multitasking.
I can tell you why ..... it is AWFUL!!! I iPhone is so slow, battery is worse than it was, it gets hot when using Waze or Any Navigation app. I have a 7+ so I would guess that it should run well on it. These are just a few of the items
Ahh the old “this has been my experience on my one device out of several million therefore everyone else must have the same experience” thinking.
After seeing my iPhone 5c degrade significantly over the course of two years, from iOS 7 to iOS 9, I decided not to upgrade my new iPhone SE. It is still running iOS 9 it came with a year and a half ago, and is working great, apps still get updated.
The only app that simply refused to work without a software update is - and I kid you not - "Apple Store"

Rolled back to 10.3.3 on my iPhone 6. The lag was at an eleven on iOS 11.
Yes, the 6 is old, but still supported by Apple for the update.

Seriously, i had to really pay attention to click to avoid installing it. It's pretty aggressive now their install nags.
I think it's totally clear. The main difference this year is that any 32-bit apps will stop working. Many people still have 32-bit apps they still use and so are holding off on iOS 11 for now in the hope that these apps get 64-bit updates soon.
If you want to disable the iOS update Reminders, you can do the following listed below:
- Open the Settings app and go to “General”
- Choose “Storage & iCloud Usage”
- Go to “Manage Storage”
- Locate the iOS software update that is nagging you and tap on it.
- Tap on “Delete Update” and confirm that you want to delete the update*
You can go back to 10.3.3 still. Do a manually re-install from iTunes. If you have an iTunes backup you're set, if you only use iCloud that backup wont work since its now iOS 11 only

I wish I had kept with iOS 9 as well. Oh well live and learn.

Dont see anything like iOS update listed.

Thanks, relentless. Didn't know about this.
I recommend this to anyone owning an iOS device: do *not* update past the major version your device came with.
My iPad 2 - great tablet when I bought it! - is now laying useless, and not because it broke physically.
Whats the real incentive for the average consumer to update? Seriously? Control center was the most substantial change. IOS 11 was honestly, boring. The changes they did make were just for the sake of it. A lot of inconsistencies throughout the UI and no killer features worth upgrading for tbh. They don't know what to do with IOS, at least on the iPhone, plain and simple. You can only tweak a grid of icons so much.... Don't even get me started on notifications. If Apple is "2.5" years ahead of everyone else with true depth, then android is 10 years ahead on notifications.
For me, I won't update because I have apps I depend on which are 32-bit. Eventually I'll be forced to, and I do wish I had that h.265 support, but that's a dealbreaker for me at this point. Why couldn't 32-bit support be a downloadable add-on if disk space was a concern?
(You can't tell me that it's a super huge effort to maintain the 32-bit codebase...Apple already basically shares most of OS X (for x86_64) with iOS (64-bit arm arm) and watchOS (32-bit arm), so the codebase is cross-processor by design... That, and OS X still has 32-bit libraries (although Apple is apparently going to drop that as well - but I imagine on OS X a community could build up to design a stub of some kind...)
Also my mom has plenty of 32-bit games and she (understandably) doesn't want to buy into the freemium model that it feels like every developer adopted when they were forced to update games for 64-bit.
I wonder how many percentage points represent those people?

I disagree. iOS 10 was easily the worst iOS release to date, with its baffling new design language, bugs and unintuitive interactions. At least with the 11 Apple has taken some effort to fix garish mistakes, like unifying the control center again.
