This was the final straw for me to move to Android. My 6S was unusably slow with iOS11. I'd rather this be something _I_ can control.
At the very least, the performance should improve if you plug in the phone, and it doesn't.
Edit: other thing I remember is that when I upgraded iOS10 at one point my battery _stopped_ being reliable. I was getting the unexpected shutdowns at <50%.
Another weird thing I had experienced: after every update, my battery percentage would be totally screwy. I'd burn from 100% -> 1% in no time, then sit at 1% for hours. Over charge cycles, it'd figure it out again, but that'd be reset every time I upgraded.
Edit 2: looks like I angered the fans. This is simply my experience. My geekbench scores were awful, so I was certainly impacted by this issue. I thought I'd done something wrong until this news came out.
- pen2l 9y agoAnother anecdata: Last night, I finally succumbed to iOS11 (the only reason I did was that I wanted to enroll in Heart Study, for which your iphone device has to be iOS11). Indeed I had been pushing it away because I usually associate the word "upgrade" to device death when it comes to mobile devices. But wow... it did not screw my 6S up. In fact, I think it's faster and 'zippier' with this iOS11 upgrade.

- turtlebits 9y agoMy 6S+ was also literally unusable after the iOS11 update. 5 second hangs on some actions, jittery scrolling. It improved after a few weeks. Not sure if it was an .x update that fixed it, or maybe it needed time to reindex (?) but it's fine now.
