Yep. I simply need a 32-bit app. I'd also wait anyway because everyone is saying iOS 11 is crazy slow. No compelling new features anyway.
Got a tip for us?

IDK what you're talking about. iTunes asked me to update, and I said "no, and don't tell me again." Had to do that once more for the minor rev they released. That was it.
Plenty of things underneath can change and can have just as much (or sometimes even more) of an effect.
If you're counting iPhone OS, all of them were non-controversially good until (and not including) 7.
How can an operating system that strips out so much functionality be so crappy when it comes to speed and battery life? I would assume that the 5s gets very little out of iOS 11 compared to newer devices. So since it's losing 32 bit support, shouldn't battery life go through the roof? Shouldn't the whole OS be "snappier" on an older device?
iOS 11 destroyed my iPhone 6, which worked just fine before the update. Looks like Apple has decided for me that it's time to upgrade my iPhone next month when my contract is up. Love the new Control Center, but not worth the performance drop.
"It's not clear why iOS 11 adoption is lagging so far behind iOS 10 adoption"
Because it's based on percentage basis and not actual number of device basis. Apples iOS devices in the last year alone have increased a lot.

My wife won't update until her favorite app is compatible. Also most people I know upgraded when they saw a red notification in Settings. Many phones didn't do it this time.
That's not really how things work (nor does iOS somehow strip out so much functionality).
It does put me off, particularly as the iPX seems to almost rely on an abundance of gesture controls, which have become the bane of iOS.
Personally; I now have a short list that needs to be fulfilled before I'll consider allowing any "update" onto a device that I need to use:
• Don't abuse my goodwill. Notably; don't repeatedly spam me with update notices several times a day - including waking me for this in the early hours - and not permit me to decline.
• Ditch or allow gestures to be turned off. The unwanted <back> reloads in safari are a complete pain, as are pull-ups / pull-downs when trying to do stuff.
• Equally; permit superfluous annoyances like the iMessage graffiti to be opted out.
• Stop wrecking or re-imagining stuff that works in favour of a different look that is less usable (for example; app switcher)
And finally; if Apple so severely lacks confidence in the current version that they won't permit reverting or downgrades (or simply (re-)installing a previous version) - that alone speaks volumes about their contempt for their customers.
The moment I see CE reminds me "Cheat Engine" lol.
Seriously, I install iOS 11 cause I choose to install it during beta and there is no turning back (will lose tons of data if reverting back). But for many other people, they might have a chance not to update iOS 11. Hope they do not need to pay the price of using a slow device and buggy software.
About the nagging update, you could turn it off from icloud setting. That's if you're talking about ios update.
I don't know safari refreshes..but then i have 6plus.
I like to know who oversees ios updates....
That's a fair counterpoint.
And I'm probably just being touchy. My phone is a 2-year-old 6S, and with the new hardware prices going up and the lack of subsidies, I'm trying to hang onto it for at least another year (maybe another two years). Slow performance will drive me insane and then I'll want to upgrade.

Yes, which setting is this?
Or more likely the fact that major iOS releases coincide with new iPhone releases, but this year people are holding off until the iPhone X.
Update! iOS 11 is like having a new device! And yes, my iPP is my primary work machine. I am just astounded at how much I love using this iPad post iOS 11.
Yep, pretty much, I don't want to lose the ability to play Flappy Bird from time to time hahahaha and a few other apps, also, the lack of new features, at least for me nothing worth upgrading, and that it might make my 6s Plus slower.
I'm also pretty sure that iOS 11 will run great on the iPhone X, pretty much it was design for that model and future ones, previous models don't even have the same lock screen options/icons.
Compared to what? to Android, yeah, it's good, compared to previous iOS's is bad.
That was about it though.
What else was there in iOS 6 that went bad? Performance issues? Other bugs around the system?
TBH, I don't remember any. I can't think of any.
Owner of iPhone 6 Plus - can confirm iOS 11 slows down the experience.
So Upgraded to an 8.
Isn't the slower iOS adoption likely just a reflection of iPhone X not being available yet? That seems like the most logical explanation here.
I have a hard time believing it has anything to do with a change in perception of quality or reliability around iOS itself over the last 12 months.

I haven't adopted it and I am always someone who updates immediately. I like my dozens of obsolete apps that won't work in 11 thank you. That's the obvious reason why so many are waiting. Also, not having the main Sept/Oct new iPhone available is also hurting. It's really idiotic they blocked 32 bit apps so quickly without good reason. Did it on my iPad Pro and enjoyed it killing 50% of the battery overnight doing absolutely nothing.
