My 7+ is so laggy (is that the right term?) when opening, closing or switching apps. I haven't even had this phone a year.

iPhone Users Complain of App Slowdowns and Performance Drops After Installing iOS 11

Well, to be honest I do quite like the new big and bold titles. It makes up for sort of a fresh and new look. But I do get that not everyone is a fan of it.
Yeah, I do understand your point of view. For me, the big headlines give the feeling that somebody tried to make iOS 11 more like a digital publication of some sorts than an OS.
It is fresh alright, and thank goodness iPhone X has more vertical screen space to waste
That’s not necessary at all. OTA is just as reliable. The stigma of OTA being bad is from the early days when it was fairly flakey. Which it has been just as good for many years now, but people still fear it because of how it used to be when it first became a thing.
Reality is just not as exciting as what imagination can come up with.
For the most part, for most, it's not something that's needed.
Why is everyone surprised? This has always been Apple's way of getting you to buy into the latest and greatest bug free phones lol
Someone recently mentioned that there might be a delay in the OS because it's waiting to decide whether you meant to click a second/third time. The third press would be to invoke the magnifier. That article suggested that disabling this accessibility function would speed up the home button press response. Might want to see if that is enabled for some reason and disable it.
Is that why some people with the latest phones are also seeing various similar issues?
Dial-up days with a rotating number dial or numbered push buttons? There’s quite a difference
Couldn't tell you, I don't have a 8+ but what I can tell you is that my 7+ was working just fine before this. And conveniently my 7+ was already preinsallted with iOS 10 when I got it last year... with no bugs.
I've had some slowdowns/choppiness on my 7 Plus and Watch Series 2. Nothing too horrible, and I'm not too surprised. It's a pretty big OS update and Apple is going to need to circle back and implement some performance fixes in 11.1, which is no different than some of the prior big OS releases. My phone is still plenty usable, the new features are nice, and in many cases it's faster. There's just a little inconsistency that they need to address.
It's not just as reliable at all! It's simply upgrading the existing version, leaving all the old crap, caches & problems in place as it has to by design as you need all the crap built up over the last 12 months for your existing config to work.
A clean install is literally a clean slate. It's more time consuming for sure, but you will always get a much better user experience from it.
So same as every other point-zero release. Always wait for point-one, folks. It's not going to kill you.
I’m pretty sure Photos is still analysing with its new AI... “is it a bunny, or a rabbit?”
Even that may not help. I set up my iPhone 8 Plus as new, but still got atrocious battery life.
Could be a dodgy app install going nuts draining the battery or could simply be a faulty device. I'd take it back and get a replacement.
I've yet to see anything from Apple about any kind of reindex.....cool theory though.
EDIT: Nevermind I stand corrected https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201678
Seems only certain apps do the indexing....

And various people last year with iPhone 7 and 7+ also experienced issues with early versions of iOS 10.
Seems like more of a combination of Occam's razor and Hanlon's razor in play, as usual it appears, than anything else.
By the time they iron out all the issues on iOS 11, 12 will be soon to release. I'm starting to get why some people just ignore that update badge.
iPhone 7 Plus user here - I love iOS11 - my phone has been more responsive and all the new additions are great!
Well, I'll wait for at least a few days, and of course iOS 11.0.1. If neither one of these fix the battery problems I'll definitely get it replaced.
It's like that with pretty much most new versions. Usually some smaller bug fix updates get things into a better shape, and with the x.1 update things are usually good for many who had issues before, and things generally keep improving from there.
That was my first impression as well. I know that my Macs always run slow for 6-12 hours after a major OS update, and Spotlight reindexing is always the culprit.
If it's still running slow after a week, then it's clearly not (just) reindexing. Reindexing should complete after an hour or so (maybe a day if you've got a lot of files/images/songs to reindex).
My 7+ works perfect under iOS 11. It even totally fixed CarPlay, which was catastrophically unusable in my 2017 Honda under iOS 10
