It’s a .0 release, the home button delay is real, there’s also slight input lag around the UX, and my 7 *feels* slower to use. There’s also a mild “jump” at the end of 3D Touch animations, yeah it’s a small thing but I notice it and don’t want to tolerate it. I’ll wait for 11.1 or 11.2 until I stay on iOS 11.
Got a tip for us?

Apple has PURPOSELY introduced lag/delay with Home Button interactions

Regardless the home button delay is still there even with reduce motion. The overall phone still feels slower to use
I doubt he actually agrees your point. Instead, I would argue he is referring to the bug that “default” click speed is not fast enough until changing from “default” to “slowest” and back to “default”.So you are finally agreeing that even you are seeing the lag which everyone is seeing and want it fixed!
For me, whether I notice or not I don’t care. But it is fun to watch everyone is debating on this cosmetic issue.
I can close apps mid launch perfectly fine on both my iPhone 6s Plus and iPad Pro 10.5 inch.
Hmm, Apple can surely introduce the same lag even when “reduced motion” is on, because it reduces the motion, not the lag.
Actually, app opening speed and closing speed in iOS 11 b10 are both slower than iOS 10.3.3.
Sidebar: "planned obsolescence" is an often misused phrase. From what I've read, it largely arose due to automakers in the 1950s and 1960s who wanted people to buy new cars more often. The "obsolence" did NOT refer to somehow making the older cars run more poorly, but introducing new features, new designs (tail fins!), new colors, etc. to appeal to consumers to get the "latest and greatest" and "Keep up with the Joneses".
The old cars were still fine; the automakers wanted to tantalize the masses with "new and improved" models. That fits Apple's sometimes irritating habit of incrementalism, holding back on features until next year's model. Too much of that, though, as happened with the iPad Mini, undermines sales and cuts into upgrades.
The phrase of late, however, has been loosed from its original moorings to encompass conspiracy-like definitions that involve corporations deliberately building in short life, wantonly using parts that readily wear out, malevolently designing in long-term breakdowns, etc., all so that people will be forced to be their newer models. Even when not done deliberately, the use of outsourcing without adequate standards, employing cheaper parts to keep sticker prices low, neglecting quality control or not doing it as well as before, etc. can happen as a structural, profit-seeking endeavor rather than necessarily deliberate outright "planned obsolescence".
Typically, Apple's new OSs bring with them charges of p.o., especially as they often run more slowly on older or, rather, much older models. But that's overall performance -- until this thread, I'd never seen anyone claim that the slowdown of a rarely used action -- or, one that only some users even use -- and that happens on only a couple of last year's models -- is planned obsolescence or deliberate malfeasance!

Share sheet does not lag. I said open the share sheet. Go to home and reopen the app. The zoom in animation lags.
Whats the point correcting it a year later when everyone is on the newer phone which didn't have the issue from the beginning. I have the lag NOW. I have to tolerate it till whenever I get my new phone.
Removal of the gestures and taptic feedback is planned obsolescence. They removed both the gestures and taptic feedback because they wanted to make both exclusive to the X. The X has the gesture for app switcher which is why they removed it from 7 and 8.
Don't they have anything better to do than just surfing websites without doing anything?
What you describe is not a bug. In the software world, it is referred to as "working as designed". You have a button that does different tasks depending on if it's single or double clicked. The software has to respect the delay that you set to determine what action was taken. Mouse clicks work the same way. They are less noticeable because they are usually set faster.
That’s impossible. I posted a video showing how the 7 Plus on iOS 11 was slower than a 6 on iOS 10

My 6s doesn't seem to have this issue. I just tried this on Safari. Smooth as silk.
Hey, you know the drill, you have been around the block.
Well okay then, buy a new phone because of it. This old meme hasn't yet run it's course.
Right, none of apples 60,000 employees do anything.
We will find out about that when people get the 8. If that doesn’t have this lag than its malice.
Not necessarily. The 8/plus and X are all way more powerful than the 7 series. Poot coding, laziness, could still be at play.
