11 is so trash. Slowed me down immediately. Typing in iMessage is awful and lags like none other. I started to uninstall apps to see what I thought was an increase in speed, but I don't actually believe it. It's the very definition of planned obsolescence.

Not ideal, but after listening to an episode of Back to Work, I tried the Reset All Settings trick and for the past 4 days since it's been wonderful. Fast with good battery life and minimal things to re-install / setup. Mainly just TouchID, Wifi networks, and Apple Pay.

  Let's not even start talking about the calculator animation UI that makes adding impossible...

    This has been fixed in iOS 11.2 beta.

      This isn't Windows Phone that regular users are okay with being abused and know how to install the beta[0]. It's also kinda ridiculous that anyone is suggesting running something that Apple clearly doesn't think is ready for prime time to fix bugs. [0] Believe me I wish it was. everyday.

        I'm not suggesting that you install the beta. I'm just letting you know that this has been fixed by Apple and will be pushed out sometime in the near future.

I thought that too at first, but slowness isn’t even half the problem: 1+2+3=24 if typed quickly into the calculator, even on the fastest hardware They got rid of autoplay next episodes in podcasts, and make it take three taps to play next episode. That moron swerving during your commute Monday? That’d be one of millions of people trying to advance to the next episode. They also eliminated “mark as [un]played” in podcasts. Alerts show on the lock screen, but are missing from the alert list. The keyboard in messaging is completely different than the keyboard in third party apps (and it doesn’t have feature parity with itself across third party apps either. If I enable speech in maps, using my car bluetooth, it pauses audio and plays silence during the voice prompts. After bluetooth drops when I leave the car, it happily speaks directions into my pocket instead of realizing I arrived. The battery meter and lifetime were FUBARed for a week after I upgraded. Calendars randomly opens to a useless year overview screen, even though I only ever use the “today” screen. (and so on...) All of these issues are regressions introduced between 10 and 11, and I’m sure I’ll notice more issues over time. (Also, performance is terrible on my old phone. Web pages and apps swap out constantly, which I never noticed before. It takes Siri so long to turn on the microphone that it’s better to open the app I want, and type the query. Maps take 15 seconds to open. Time to first picture is unacceptable, and I swear the quality of the pictures is lower too).

  The calculator bug is fixed in 11.2 beta. It's one of the only things in the release notes.

  Also, the weather widget does not update when location service is disabled.

    Well, how would it? You'd need to know where you are to get the weather.
