I recall plenty of complaining about stutters and frame drops (Weather being one of the places) back in the early iOS 10.0 days (even with iPhone 7 line of phones).
Got a tip for us?

Apple stop the programmed killing of good phones.... IOS frustrations

Yeah, but the 6+ was under powered from the get-go. With the scaling from the rendered resolution to the display resolution, still having only 1 GB RAM and the processor itself not being a big upgrade, I am surprised you* didn't notice a slowdown after upgrading to iOS 10, or even 9.
I really wanted a new phone when the 6 and 6+ came out, but after learning how under powered the 6+ was (I wanted a plus), I decided to wait and ended up with the 6S+ the next year. I've always been happy with the choice, so much so that I won't be too upset if I can't get an X right away and end up waiting for the 2018 OLED PLUS (6.3 - 6.4" screen) phone.
*EDIT: not "you", but the OP

This is the the "real" problem. Apple's "un-signing" of older versions of iOS prevent users, who upgrade only to find their phone performing unacceptably, is not able to downgrade back to where they liked it.
NOTE: I realize that, currently, one would be able to revert to iOS 10, but the window to do so is limited.
So what they have a physical moving Hard Drive inside? Don't think so. They have flash memory (NAND flash) , which is what SSD are made from.
Go read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
"Both Flash and SSD are based on NAND-based flash memory, which retains data without power, and so can be labelled as Flash memory."
source:https://superuser.com/questions/919...l-difference-between-a-flash-drive-and-an-ssd
"Modern SSD hard drives are Flash-based, so today there’s not really a difference today between SSD and Flash. SSD is simply a disk that doesn’t have moving parts"
source:https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-difference-between-ssd-and-flash-hard-drives/
"But in terms of flash storage, an SSD is flash storage and so is an USB memory stick, or your memory card for your camera, as well as the storage in iPhones. An HDD is not flash storage, for reference."
source: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ssd-vs-flash-storage.1103812/
"All the SSDs in use today use flash based solid state technology and the most commonly used form factor for enterprise server and storage systems is the 2.5 inch drive, although other form factors are available."
https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-flash-storage-and-SSD
"An SSD does functionally everything a hard drive does, but data is instead stored on interconnected flash memory chips that retain the data even when there's no power present."

In academia you learn that if you want to make a statement and be taken seriously, you should provide sources that corroborate that statement. I have clearly provided you with enough sources that say SSDs are made up of flash storage. So when referring to the Flash memory on an iPhone, it is not incorrect to refer to is as an SSD. It is performing the same function of a Hard Disk Drive.
Finish reading your first wiki source before bouncing around to a handful of others that you think agree with you.
SSDs are not exclusively flash-memory-based and flash-memory-based storage is not exclusive to SSDs. They are not the same thing, so you are incorrect if you refer to it that way.
Have a look at Apple's tech specs and find an iOS device with an SSD. See Mac specs if you need to know what to look for.
I have a 128GB 6 Plus. I just created a new note, added 4 checkmarks and was able to check and uncheck just fine. Smooth as silk on my phone.
I can be a pedant like any other, but "Flash Storage" is such a mouthful and just confuses the average person when they have enough trouble understanding "SSD". Even Apple gave up so they simply changed previous references to SSD. As an example, see the barely updated MacBook Air specs:
https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/specs/
See "SSD" under Storage. We all know there ain't no SS "Drive" inside the MacBook Air, but there you go.
For more info, see here:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) - Technical Specifications [Refers to Flash Storage]
MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) - Technical Specifications [Refers to SSD]
Completely agree. The PCIe qualification there is certainly intentional for more than one reason.

An iOS update has been released. Maybe it will fix some of the issues many of you are experiencing.
New OS updates there can always be issues at the start thats why some wait for the bugs to be fixed.
My 6s is on iOS 9.x and my 7 is on 10.x. What are you new? Oh wait your MacRumors account started yesterday. Never mind...
My note 8 has had two updates in two weeks so not sure what you know. My s8 plus gets security updates every 6 to 8 weeks with stability or bug improvements. Please speak about your iPhone updates since that's what you seem know and not archaic matters of the past.
New full OS updates are guaranteed for 2 years or more. Also, I have owned most flagship Galaxy devices and have gotten updates for more than 3 years for some devices. Other Android vendors like the Pixel give them even quicker so your sarcasm is void. And Android is far more complex than iOS.
Whatever you say. I prefer the iOS approach. Oreo isn't even at 1% as of 3 weeks ago.
I am completely not , because iOS 11 is good as iOS 10 for 6. I have no any lags , Errors in it
And which iPhone models do you currently consider to be a "good phone" here in 2017, and why?
