http://www.idownloadblog.com/2017/12/11/block-ios-updates/ http://www.idownloadblog.com/2017/12/11/block-ios-updates/ Also, I marvel at how watered down the term "bricked" has become. From 'my thing shows absolutely no signs of life' to 'my thing is a little bit laggy'.

Thanks, but I wouldn't say "a little big laggy". I am not exaggerating when I say every app takes ten seconds to load. I actually measured them and that's the average time it took for all apps to load after I updated to iOS 11 (Before iOS11 it loaded immediately). If you can sympathize with me because you have more recent phones, please try to close your eyes and count to ten and imagine, hopefully that may give you an idea of how frustrating it is for peasants like us.

  My first smartphone was like that, pretty much out of the box. It would often hang on calls, applications took forever to start, and I had to keep syncing off because otherwise if I turned on Wi-Fi, I would have to remove and reinsert the battery to get the device to work again. That experience made me never again buy a cheap phone. I now aim for the high-end, and can live for 2-3 years in relative comfort (though even expensive phones slow down quite visibly over time).

  My kid plays games on an iPad mini 2 which I occasionally borrow it for reading, and I haven't experienced apps taking anything like that long to load under iOS 11. Are there any particular ones you'd want me to try out?

  Then there's something broken with your iphone 6, because until the 8 came out I was using a 5S and it was observably slower but not '10 seconds for every app' slow as you apparently describe without exaggeration. I had upgraded it to iOS 11 before moving to the 8, too.

    iPhone 5S isn’t subject to the battery-related CPU throttling. My iPhone 6 took 10 seconds to load apps, but after a battery replacement it takes me about 4 seconds. Also, I noticed that apps stay in memory longer which means that I don’t have to do a fresh app load that takes 4 seconds.

      isnt 4 seconds still slow though? when i say it takes 10 seconds i mean the screen is blank white for 10 seconds. I think it's not as ridiculous as 10 secs but 4 seconds of blank white screen is not so much better...

Maybe it is different in other circles but as a software engineer, bricked still means you unplugged it while flashing the ROM, literally unrecoverable.
