Not looking for debate about whether iOS 11 is great or not. I would just like to revert to iOS 10, if possible. Is there a way to downgrade to iOS 10 from the official iOS 11 release? If so, how can it be done?
Got a tip for us?

I found this as well. Doesn't look hard. No, you don't have to do a factory reset if you have a iOS 10 backup.

Last night, I did a backup of my phone via iTunes on PC. I then immediately disconnected and upgraded the phone from 10.3.3 to 11.0 over-the-air. If I restore the phone from that backup I made last night, will it replace iOS 11 with iOS 10.3.3? Or, is there a separate "downgrade" process I must use in order to revert back to 10.3.3?
The backup is just data, not iOS itself. You'd need to actually install the version of iOS that you want (that Apple is still signing) and then restore from your backup (if it's compatible).
It's just been 2 days. And while Apple can certainly stop signing iOS 10 at any moment, it seems like based on past experience it's usually a longer period of time when it comes to initial x.0 releases for a new version.
