Ahh ok. Yeah people seem to have the wrong mindset when talks of "upgrading" are tossed around.
With iPhone upgrades I know people that have an iPhone 4 (still), refuse to upgrade, but want to complain about the data speeds and operability of the phone. When in reality, the iPhone 4 & 4s don't and never will support LTE. Which means not only are they no longer getting security updates, but their connection technology hasn't evolved with the newer cell tower technologies. Foolish to use antiquated technology as a daily driver.
Same with iOS and app upgrades. The majority of complaints I see are about games that are no longer supported, not applications that get things done. Applications which, I'm highly sure, have equal if not better performing alternatives. So they don't want to upgrade and hence are then putting heir personal data security at risk. And then those same people want to complain when crap hits the fan, which will inevitably happen.
Both of these situations, IMHO, are impacting your personal safety and security in one way or another. Does anyone remember the shenanigans that ensued on these forums when the 2G spectrum was official dismantled? People were outraged. "How dare cell companies provide us better and faster service without asking us!" was something along the lines of the arguments (paraphrasing of course).
You know, I recently saw a movie this weekend called "Backcountry" that was released in 2016. About a couple that gets lost in the Canadian(?) wilderness and have to fight for survival against a very rude black bear. What held my attention wasn't the movie per say, but the fact that the woman was in the middle of the wilderness trying to use her Blackberry Curve to call for help. I couldn't help but think "If you'd have not been stubborn and upgraded to the new iPhone and iOS when you should have, you probably could've made that call. Now you're running for your everlasting life trying to not be bear food while screaming where nobody can hear you".
Based on this thread, I feel like that black bear is going to snack on a whole lot of people in this next year or two.
I am definitely pro iOS 11. We'll be updating the iPhone (if it hasn't already). Not worried about losing some older games. My biggest loss would have been XCOM: Enemy Within, FFT: War of the Lions, and Le Havre. Two of them were updated and XCOM is upcoming. The benefits to iOS 11 seem to far outweigh the loss of some older apps. Being my first iPad, I quite enjoy the interface of iOS 11. The expanded toolbar, far improved keyboard, and better multitasking are some of the things I am enjoying.
