Current Overall Experience of iOS 11 Since Launch

[simonsi]

Actually, that is pretty poor.
Limited results and a decent portion are “Apple can do no wrong”.
So using this as a rep sample gives it a failing grade. A 3.3 of 5 stars.
A very mediocre grade at best.

Oh - Lol - you ACTUALLY think Apple would aim for 100%? Not a chance, changing anything reduces customer satisfaction, Apple are happy if the number of people that dislike a change equal the number of people that like it - and they won't care if the people that like it now dislike the next version and vice versa, of that churn they generate interest, talk in forums and in the press, while having the freedom to experiment and introduce new stuff pretty fast.

And as I said, given the audience in any forum willing to comment is automatically biased to negative, its a good result.

That’s one opinion out the many. I do see the same stuttering that has never been fixed but the rest I haven’t seen.

I guarantee you that iOS 11.3.3 is going to be praised as the peak of perfection.

Well we will find out in Feb anyway. Although I expect the 10.3 beta 1 in December should clear things up anywhow as the point versions don't change things much.

Having LOTS of Bluetooth issues. Connectivity, sound quality..thought it was my 8 Plus but pretty convinced it’s 11.

10.3 beta 1 came out in late January, wonder if it'll be the same for 11.3.

How many of the same thread are we going to see from the OP?

Convenient how you edited your post after the poll went the other way.I guess there’s quite a few veteran iOS bashers apart from me and bashman eh?Its an unoptimised OS. This is undeniable.

 

[simonmet]

11.2b4 is only beginning to approach the level of quality I expected from the 11.0 launch. It’s been a pretty bad experience so far and way worse than iOS 10.

I hope we see 11.3 and 11.4 sooner rather than later because iOS 11 sure needs them.

 

[MistrSynistr]

It's bad. Even the newest update has stuttering issues, text not catching up to your typing unless you reboot, bluetooth changes on how it operates with your vehicle. Abysmal release.

This is on an iPhone 8.

Seems like the timing of the edit doesn't coincide with the implication of the reasoning behind it. Not to mention that even at this point the poll puts the majority at "neutral" or better, so things didn't even go "the other way". Convenient how obvious facts and reality can be overlooked to try to spin things.

100%? Where did I indicate that?
If I was looking at buying an app from the App Store, a software package, an item from Amazon, Best Buy, or other such, a rating of under 4* would make me leery. For what I/we have come to expect from Apple, under 4* is a miss.

Well, I'm on my third DFU. Going to back it up to iTunes after a reset first and then iCloud just to make sure I can retrieve stuff I need in the future using my older iPhone 5S. Setting up as new you lose all your Messages/Text which is really a pain since these days Text Messages are used for business, personal and general correspondence rather than eMail. I need that information saved and retained.

 

[bashman2020]

Its not just the worst iOS but the WORST operating system I have ever used and that includes Windows Vista. Home button delays, battery drain, some stuttering here and there. The sooner we are onto iOS 12 where Apple fixes this mess, the better. Here's hoping iOS 12 is to iOS 11 that iOS 10 was to iOS 9.

well as it seems thats if they fix the damn animation stuttering across older ios devices. if only they can achieve the point animation perfection ios 10 had.
[doublepost=1511405303][/doublepost]

I voted "Neutral", simply because the experience on my iPad Pro has been good, but the experience on my iPhone 6 has been rather worse. Wishing I had left the iPhone on iOS10 to be honest, as - unlike the iPad - there has been little there that was worth the upgrade (unfortunately, in the Apple Cloud-Enabled world, if you want to share content between your iOS devices, they had better all be on the same iOS version!)

trust me its been a disaster on the iphone 6 and 5s devices

Note: I am running a 7+ and two IPP 12.9 Gen 2

-How would you rate current iOS 11 release version on a scale of 1-10

• 4 - where 1 being "abysmal" and 10 "walk on water"
• This is in comparison to versions of the past on last years device.

-Has iOS 11 helped your daily phone usage in anyway ?

• No.
• The current features of iOS 11 have had no major positive impact on my daily use. In most cases, it has slowed down or hindered my use.
• Great negative example: when accessing the "right" menu you tap the link and hold - it takes 3-5 seconds for the menu to appear

-Has iOS 11 completely rendered your device useless?!

• No.
• It has slowed down the effective use for daily activities. Most apps are slower to open and animations just add to the overall OS lag.

-Has iOS 11 become so laggy and sluggish on your devices ?!

• Yes.
• See above answer. The load times are slower. Apps reload more often when opened from the Task Manager. Tabs in Safari reload more frequently when switching. Alternative Mail and Message apps take longer to load when opened. Then add in a reduced battery life and you have a let-down from Apple.

At this stage I am very disappointed in iOS 11.

thats same thing i'm facing on my 6 & 6plus devices, everything you highlighted in this post! and someone be quick to tell me that im being biased based on the judgements of ios 11
[doublepost=1511406374][/doublepost]Can someone tell me they do not like the way ios 10 app minimizer animation smoothness when you press the home button within an app, no lags whatsover you press the home button and the app just sit rights in with immediate effect but with ios 11 youll definitely see a lag and stutter .

Im loving it on my 12.9, I’m running the betas and have no major issues. Love the new dock, it works really well on ipads. I keep it plugged in most of the time so I dont notice battery issues. Twitter stutters a bit when multitasking, but that changes with each beta.

I have the regular release on my mini 4. Its a bit laggy but nothing that truly bothers me when surfing, emailing, reading

Iphone X is on the same release, havent noticed anything that bothers me. Some mail weirdness but im sure that’ll resolve eventually.

Iphone 6+ is staying on 10.whatever.

There is a minor amount of stuttering here and there with the latest beta. Nothing that will point to a complete disaster. As far as the 5s, I'm running two on 11b4 and i am very happy with ios 11b4 on these devices. To me they feel so much faster than ios 10. I can't speak for the 6 because that is now gone replaced by an iphone 7.

I don’t read the polls on MRs like that. I see people with honest genuine issues and then the ones who turn up to make sure the poll sits in favour of ‘neutral or better’ regardless wether they have issue or not. Many people just defend this corporation no matter what. Its this i have trouble with because on here I never seem to sense What’s true or not.

I would never lie about my device having issues for the sake of it but I feel this forum likes to make people feel like they are dishonest if they report issues. It can get really deflating and accusing sometimes.

And those, who have no issues, will in turn be branded blind, stupid, Apple apologists, sheep(le) and who knows what else. That's just the way it is, and I doubt it will change anytime soon. Is it productive in any sense? No, but it can be entertaining at times, even if utterly juvenile.

Personally I make purchase / update / other decisions before browsing the forums. The really useful nuggets of information take a while to be found, but luckily there's still some of that going around as well.

[bashman2020]

and someone is telling me crap that ios 11 is perfection when all the new dumbass animations makes device laggy
[doublepost=1511512806][/doublepost]People honestly prefer to go back to ios 10.3.3 rather than stay on 11 but now apple isn't allowing that , pure obsolescence in the act !

Long story short the phone is basically unusable on iOS 11. I just encountered something hilarious related to this. The phone is so slow that after I started recording there was a bit of a lag when i pressed the record button and the phone actually started recording only midway through the test. So the test got ruined slightly. But to illustrate my point Facebook and Instagram are taking over 4 seconds to load. The keypad takes 2 seconds. Uber takes more than 5 seconds. The settings menu takes 4 seconds. Also there was a huge amount of delay when I tried to close Facebook using home button. It took 2 second just to respond to the click.

I had to take 2 videos because the phone is taking too,long to respond to the record button and I had to wait for some time after pressing it and I cut that part out of both videos.

The phone is reminiscent of the iPad Mini 1 running iOS 9 which I sold last year. Everything lags and there is input lag on the keyboard. Imagine iOS 12 on it. It's going to be horrendous.

The message I am getting from Apple when I use iPhone 6 is to trash the old lady and get a brand new iPhone X.

 

[lexvo]

For me: “good”
Maybe I am lucky but on all my iOS devices - iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s and even iPhone 5s - iOS11 is running fine. My wife’s iPhone 5s is also running smooth without problems.

 

[Miss_Mac]

I am veering between neutral and bad with one issue that is could veer into very bad if the next iOS 11 update does not fix. Have had to reboot my 7+ multiple times due to the solid state home button and screen freezing once I upgraded to 11.1 and now to 11.2. I switched the solid state tap pressure (?) in settings and this screen freeze still happens. Noticed this when the iPhone goes to sleep, especially for several hours or overnight.

The Control Center WiFi settings, I always go into actual settings anyway so I bypassed the Wifi disconnect in in iOS11.

Battery life on my iPad Pro has declined.

For iOS 11 itself, I haven't been using much, but getting the hang of swipes and such took longer than usual. Have not tried the drag and drop yet.

 

[Aydy]

Maybe I am lucky

I would say bordering on miracle. You have literally bypassed every ‘known’ issue of iOS11 on three legacy devices.

While this statement may be true for a few I believe the majority of folks who the haters call Apple defenders really just don't see a .5 second delay or a frame drop in an animation as an "end of the world, totally unusable" situation. Most of these complaints while they may exist, are simply minor annoyances but certainly don't qualify as an "unusable device". For example I have the weather widget not working 99% of the time but while I would like it to work like it used to, it doesn't mean my device is unusable. And I am sure at some point it will be fixed. The 3D touch menu stutter was fixed finally and again it wasn't that big a deal as far as using the device.

HA you really have to ask that question from that user?

 

[Traverse]

There have been some annoying bugs and performance issues on my iPhone 8 and iPad Pro, but overall I’m satisfied.
