I love my iPhone X but Apple's refusal to fix the garbage that is iOS 11 is infuriating. My phone was perfect until they started pushing the iOS 11 updates. Now my phone CONSTANTLY lags and hangs. I have to lock and unlock the phone to fix it. None of the updates have made any difference. It's not a memory issue, I have a whopping 56GB used out of 256GB. For the first time ever I am very disappointed in Apple.

With any iOS there will be constant updates, 11.2.5 will almost be out of development. If you don't want to wait, you can hop on the beta train as some users reporting fluidity and speed improvement.

I love 11 - works great on my phone and my wife's. Don't fix.
Could be the apps you are running

What issues? 11 has been perfect for me and my family. Perhaps you should get your phone looked at?

We have zero lags/hangs/anything. Did you restore from a corrupt backup?

I'm still getting random lags and stutters here and there on the newest version.

Also battery drain still happening.

When is Apple going to fix iOS 11?

Well, iOS 10 was first released on 09-13-2016 and had issues before its final version (10.3.3) was realeased on 07-19-2017.

iOS 11 was first released on 09-19-2017... so going by the past I'm guessing Apple will finally have a good version of iOS 11 by 07-25-18 ;):D:p

I have to say I totally agree with you.Being an apple fanboy from the very first iPhone this iOS has been a massive pain in the neck.I have tried and just not gotten on with Android and I feel this iOS is the closest thing to using Android without you know.......Using Android.

If they fix the Maps widget (suggested locations totally broken for me), I'd be happier - everything else has worked pretty flawlessly for me since 11.2.

It’s gonna be a tough upgrade cycle
Come iOS 12 where Ive said X can do things it currently can’t do

If hype train is real you’ll have to pick between mature iOS or a new version all over again with this new functionality worth the cryptic talk about it

As of the last couple of betas of 11.2.5 (beta 4 was rough), I’ve been very happy with iOS 11 on my X. Sorry to hear you’re not having the same experience but I’d have to agree that it’s gotta be something to do with the apps you use. There’s way too many people reporting it’s fine to blame iOS 11 alone.

Apple is a fork from android and if I’m honest this iOS 11 is the best yet

What in particular?

I really don’t mind it on my iPad 12.9 a10x

And warming up to it on 7+ now that I got it jailbroken

x has some bugs but I’m sure with jailbreak it’ll be sweet too it’s just a buggy release

Same on the 7+. iOS 11.2.5 runs really well and has fixed most issues for me.

Try restoring your device. That fixed my issues in the 7+.

But when you restored did you restore from a backup?

Not for nothing but for me iOS 11 had been rock solid whether we are talking about my X or my wife's 7 or my kids 6s. It's good as well on my iPad

I've never heard of this. Do you have any links/sources that document this?

I also have had very little issues with iOS 11. I’m on 11.2.5 now and the speed and responsiveness is fantastic. So far battery life is very good.
