As iOS 12 approaches I wanted to gather some opinions of iPad Pro users to see what they thought of iOS 11 overall in terms of how it affected performance overall over the past year. In the comments please explain your experiences. Here was mine over the past year on my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation. I remember initially upgrading to iOS 11 because a odd iCloud bug wasn’t letting me open my documents in pages claiming I didn’t have permission. After initially upgrading I found my 3 month old “Pro” iPad was constantly kicking apps out of memory now and I was experiencing constant lockup’s where the whole thing froze and I’d have to reset it by holding the buttons. It wasn’t until 11.2 that they fixed that and it wouldn’t be till 11.3 that I’d get ~80% of the fluidity that iOS 10 had. Today I still constantly have apps that aren’t staying in memory, I mention that because in iOS 10 you’d have to try to get an app out of memory on the thing and it was so fluid. System animations still stutter way more then iOS 10 ever did. I’m honestly excited to receive iOS 12 as the focus on performance and stability this time gives me much hope.
 
iOS 11 didn’t give me any issues except for RAM management. iOS 12 seems to have fixed that issue. Even on my iPhone SE, apps don’t refresh.

My life with iOS 11 was ok. When reading about folks troubleshooting their device by forcing restarts I don’t know what else to advise.

I know its tough sometimes Apple’s official troubleshooting is restarting the device, reinstalling troublesome apps and if all else fails restoring the device through iTunes. Certainly will be with iOS 12.
