I updated my 6 and Air 2 on day 1 and haven't had any major problems. Maybe some slowdown here and there, but certainly not any freezes or crashes.

well that escalated quickly..jesus man.
I mean general user impressions for iOS11 on the 6+ is bad. Not just here but a lot of other sites are recommending to wait it out until they fix/optimize it

You know they could have kept the exact same functionality that you described while keeping the radio completely off.
I have the same phone, same iOS version.
No need to update yet. Alot of people are having issues with 11 so I'd wait until Apple works out the kinks.
If anything, wait for the next update.

Recent events have made me a tad less chill...and I could probably post in the fuck yours got mine thread for iOS11 =p
I did not know this...and Ive used that button all the time and have never noticed a difference. Weird.
iOS in general has just become progressively worse since Jobs passed. Now I would argue that Android is the better OS in nearly every aspect, whereas before I would argue that iOS's walled-garden approach had benefits in terms of stability, intuitiveness, quality of first-party apps, etc. All of which have slowly gone down the drain since Jobs's passing.

For some reason my phone (8) never auto locks. Its set at 1 minute but if I dont manually press the lock button it just stays on
None of that has gone downhill by any metric. It being the fastest and most secure phone, generations more so than the best Android, is not just because of hardware.

-Battery Drain
-iMessage app gets stuck on 3rd to last text bubble, and snaps back when trying to scroll down
-Can't hit the very top in Safari to fast scroll up
-A little over 2 weeks ago, I was in mid text to a friend when I switched apps. Every few days or so since then, that text I was going to send them, randomly appears in the "Enter text" field for that contact, even though I've deleted it, and sent numerous other texts since that incident.
-Notifications on lock screen sometimes appear on bottom of the screen
-Hard locks
-Random resets
Fuck this update

It runs pretty poorly on my SE. Hard locks, lot of crashes. I'm not thrilled with this update.

7+. No issues noticed. Battery life seems the same as before. Did not reset the phone before installing.

Ya, i've had a couple of locks also that required a hard reset.

The only problem I've had on my iPhone 6 is it seemingly being more proactive about dumping Safari tabs out of memory. Now I'll maybe jump out of Safari into WhatsApp, then into Tweetbot, and then going back into Safari will have to reload the page. It used to take a lot more to get it to do it previously.
Presumably iOS 11 is more memory-hungry but I'm not sure what precisely is doing it.
iOS 11.1 should be along soon anyway.

I had to go to a repair shop today because the touch screen became unresponsive during the weekend. Thankfully dude told me to just factory reset it, so I saved a hundred in a screen replacement. But this started happening only after updating to 11.0.2.
Also the battery is now garbage

Under iOS 11, once every couple of weeks, my iPhone 6 will randomly decide that it will spend the whole day with the touchscreen not responding to touch after an indeterminate amount of time after unlocking it. I have to lock it, wait like 10 seconds, unlock it, and hope I can do whatever I need to do before it stops responding again.

My iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 are working just fine. You have newer devices than me, I wonder if some people's installs got corrupted or something.

iPhone 6S user here.
It was great on iOS 10.
Now with iOS 11, the phone was real bad the first few days. Then, it just has lag when switching screens between apps, but what kills me is the keyboard lag. I pull up Whatsapp and as I want to type something, the keyboard takes a while to register my touches, then it just types it all in at once.
I hate it, and I thought it would get fixed with 11.0.2 but nothing changed.
Very displeased with this update.

I guess I've gotten lucky as I've had no lockups at all on my iPhone 8. I also installed it on my iPhone 6s before my 8 came in and had no problems there either (still ran fast and wasnt draing my battery any more than iOS10 did). Overall I like it better than iOS10 as I think the control center is an improvement.
edit: the only problem I have had is Voice Control keeps popping up when I try to restart what I am listening with the button on the headphones. Then after I close out of the voice control, none of the buttons on the headphones will work (can't change volume or stare music) until I unplug and replug them in.

Are people hotflashing this update? Now I havent seen anything about iOS11 indepth but to hear this many people having issues is interesting.
Obviously you shouldnt have to factory reset for an update but I think Apple may have got sloppy.

No problems here on my 7. Some animations are a bit chunky on my iPad Air, but thats about it.
My wife and I both went from an iPhone SE that works great on iOS 10 to a phone that is nearly useless on 11. Constant lockups. Stuck in landscape mode in apps. Keyboard not opening or not closing. Both of our batteries last like 6 hours of casual use and idle time, used to last a full day with moderate use. We have factory reset and issues persist. Also our Bluetooth constantly turns itself back on. Neither of use Bluetooth and normally leave it disabled. This is ridiculous and we have been talking about just a going back to Android.

Always backup before an update and perform a clean install if you have issues. Everyones phone is different and updates sometimes just dont jive with what was already on the phone for whatever reason. Hence why in threads like this half will have only a few issues and others will have a lot.
I've had a few minor issues with screen rotation and unresponsiveness on my 6 since updating, but I've come to expect weird bullshit from iOS. I've ran into way more issues with my iPhone than I've ever had on Android. I'm pretty sure the battery life has taken a hit too but it's not like I've timed it or anything.
Worst part about 11 is it made the control center a fuck ugly mess.

No issues here. Music widget is weird sometimes I guess but other than that nothing.
^^ I love the new control centre. Lives up to the name more.

Im getting epic battery life on my iPad Pro after 11.0.2. 16 hours standby and over 6 hour screen on time throughout the day and its not even half drained yet. That probably 50% better than on 10.3.3.
The only thing thats now bothering me is some jittery app opening animation.

The new podcast app is bad. What an awful interface. Might go back to a 3rd party app.
Plus I have four apps I use regularly that aren't working, I should have checked to see if they would first but damn, one I use daily.
It reset the auto-brightness then hid the setting, had to google that. Auto-brightness is the worst.
Don't hate it despite these things, looks sleek I think. Runs a little slow on my 6s tho...
