>>As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor. THIS! My exact experience and sentiment. The lag frustrates me every time I open almost any app (and then I get frustrated with myself for letting myself succumb to such a first-world-problem) Is there any recourse? Can we disable some animations or other unnecessary features in settings? Can we expect 11.0.4 or 11.1 to fix?

Just googled, found this... "Some reddit users claim that resetting their settings (Settings --> General ---> Reset --> Reset All Settings) fixed all of the app issues, while others have restored their devices and set it up as new to solve the problem. Others have backed up and restored and had better results." https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/25/ios-11-app-slowdowns-performance-issues/ https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/25/ios-11-app-slowdowns-pe...

  I did a backup and complete restore. It went from completely unusable to annoyingly usable. Still considering downgrading to 10.3

      Not for 6S. It has some issues and Apple still lets users downgrade.

      not to mention you can't restore a backup of 11 on 10.x...

    I can confirm. Tried the same - wipe and reinstall. Phone is slightly better but still lags for Camera, forwarding images to WhatsApp and to open iMessage. And this when I have yet to restore from iCloud or restore an entire 25GB Music cache! What's happening, Apple?

    is it possible to downgrade to 10.3 ? I thought you can't do that anymore once you upgrade. I upgraded my old iPad to 10 and the experience is horrible. I wanted to downgrade back to iOS 9 but I can't find a way to do it.

  Same problem, tried this and did not work. The only solution for me was to downgrade to 10.

You can disable animations in Accessibility settings along with other things. Check it out! EDIT: Should probably mention it's called Reduce Motion.

  On iOS 10, it does not disable animations but replaces them with fade-ins/fade-outs. I don't know the behaviour on iOS 11, but I suspect it is going to be the same.

    It is, but it does feel a bit speedier. Interestingly I’ve had Reduce Motions on for quite some time and just turned it off. Feels kinda newish now, but I guess I sometimes just like change for changes sake.

      I had it off. Just turned it on — feels no change on iPhone 5s. Resetting all settings seems to have done the trick. But I am not 100% sure.

So why do you update to the latest version? iPhone 6 is quite old by now, and the updates have historically caused reduced performance. I didn't put Windows 7 on my old 1GB Windows XP machine because it's dumb, you should think about the same when updating your phone.

  If Apple says you should update then it must be knowing what will work in that hardware.

I uninstalled my 3rd party keyboards because the lag to bring it up got much worse with iOS 11.
