Slightly related to battery life, all I want from Apple for iOS 11.x is to bring back an easy way to turn off my WiFi radio, not this mixed up experience that connects based on location or time. I don't want to go to Settings and turn it off. I don't want to use Siri to turn it off. These are slow and convoluted methods for that. I know some people like the iOS 11 behavior. So I'm not saying that should be completely removed.
I don't mind the Bluetooth radio being on, since I anyway use it all the time. But having WiFi on (even when disconnected from a network) does drain my battery faster, and I want the control that existed before.
I decided not to upgrade my other devices to iOS 11 until this changes. It's a sad state of affairs that I have to decide between security (not getting updates on iOS 10) and battery life and convenience (both disappeared for me on iOS 11).
I've provided feedback to Apple on this a few times since iOS 11 was released. Hope someone takes this more seriously, since I'm not the only user with this experience.
