Running surprisingly well, I have not really noticed a difference from iOS 10, in fact its maybe a little smoother, but that could be a placebo effect. Well worth the upgrade, it makes the iPad a totally different beast. I had a few stutters to start but its fine now.

Love it on mine with no regrets in updating. As stated, definitely smoother. The new features make it more than worth it.

how is battery life on ios 11 on ipad air 2? i'm still thinking about whether to upgrade or not, one thing that worries me is battery life, i can remember when i upgraded to ios 10 my battery went poor until another ios update,

Its a bit early to tell but I had no massive drain overnight, seems okay but really need a few days to see. Pretty solid update tbh.

one thing ive noticed, let the screen dim before going to sleep, press it to open it again and all the colours are washed out.
it is also not as smooth as 10.3.3. but hopefully this will come later.

Worthwhile update but I find that the five finger swipe to return to the home screen is not nearly as smooth.

Have not seen the color glitch. I agree not as smooth as 10.3.3. No change in battery life noticed overnight/today.
Since upgrading to iOS11, I've noticed that some apps have to reload more frequently after temporarily going back to the main screen.

Why me 🙁 ha no fair. I have read someone else with the same problem too, so hopefully it will be fixed.

I really like how fast it goes to switch between apps now in iOS11, wonderful.
Ah well, not all the time, it's a lot more crashes of apps also I've experienced since upgrade.
But generally it is a smoother and faster system I think after spent some time with it.
First upgrade will probably fix most part of the crashes/un-smoothness 🙂
Haven't noted any difference with battery here yet....

Runs very good on my Air 2.

No difference from IOS 10 in my experience.

Yeah, I've had a couple of crashes, too. Not a really big deal, but it's been years and years since I had an app crash, so even a couple are noticeable.
I could not close a Slide Over window by swiping it away but after doing a hard reset it now works as it should.

The iPad 2 lasted a while compared to other iPads. The Air 2 will also last a while because it was made pretty powerful from the get go.
