My battery life went downhill on both my 7 Plus and my company issued 7. Also both get hot during normal use and that's not something I noticed before iOS 11.
Quite true.
I always do a full reset and fresh set up (no restore) after any majore update
Even the home button lag made news.

Who told you that? Release glitches are very common starting with the iphone 4 antenna issue, iOS 6 maps and battery debacle. iOS 8 bricked phones. Note 7 battery, etc. I like iOS 11 however.
Just some interesting news. Bill Gates uses a Samsung Galaxy S7!

Probably the richest, most computer technically connected being in the universe uses a 18 month old smartphone.
Tell me again why do we need to upgrade our smartphones every 12 months?
And I bet he thinks it's a pile compared to the Lumia it would have replaced.
Interesting that he didn't go with a BlackBerry.
Oh god, we do not. NOT NOT NOT at all. There isn't a single smartphone purchased within the last 12 months that requires someone to purchase this year's iteration. We're all nuts.
Why do we need to upgrade our phone sooner than every 3 years really? Something like a Note 5 is still a fire breathing dragon even in today's market. I think Gates is just smarter than most of us.

Poor 3D sensor yields mean Apple may not fulfill all iPhone X preorders until early 2018 – report
A supply chain report out of Taiwan claims that Apple is facing significant yield problems with the 3D sensors used in the TrueDepth camera module of the iPhone X. One source says that production volumes for the flagship phone are so low that they are being measured in tens of thousands of units per day …
If the report is accurate, this suggests that Apple may not even be able to fulfil preorders by the end of the year.
The Nikkei Asian Review reports that the yield rates – the percentage of components that meet quality requirements – is lower than expected.
Two executives working for iPhone suppliers told Nikkei Asian Review that 3-D sensor part makers are still struggling to reach a satisfactory level of output, and to boost their yield rate […]
Both sources were unable to offer clarity on whether Apple could meet large orders after iPhone X’s launch. One of the sources said that iPhone X was being churned out in small quantities, around some tens of thousands daily.
An earlier KGI report was even more pessimistic, suggesting that production earlier in the month was even less than 10,000 units per day.
A Taipei-based analyst said that this was, however, the only major component still limiting production volumes. It had earlier been reported that Samsung was struggling to produce the OLED displays – more complex than used in the company’s own phones – with a yield rate of just 60%.
Jeff Pu, an analyst at Taipei-based Yuanta Investment Consulting, said that he expected mass production of iPhone X in the second week of October and that handsets would begin to leave China for global distribution a week later.
This supports an earlier claim that although the iPhone X is well into the planned manufacturing period, it has not yet reached what Apple would consider mass production.
Pu estimated that Foxconn has made only 2 million iPhone X units to date, but is expecting the number to hit 10M in October, and 40M by the end of the year. With KGI predicting that preorders could top 50M units, that would mean that Apple couldn’t even fulfil those orders before early 2018.

I hate to be in agreement with Hitler but I felt the same way after watching the Apple keynote....
While I previously said I had no plans to pick up an iPhone X, i’ve had a change of heart....kind of. 
I still don’t plan to get one to use myself but I’m going to get as many as my multiple devices/accounts let me preorder since they’ll probably fetch a mint on the open market. Wife needed a new phone (she wanted an iPhone 8) and now just had to replace my daughter’s dying 6 Plus (red iPhone 7 Plus for her at a nice discount). In addition to the new desktop I had to get to replace my aging/dying Mac Mini, I need to subsidize all of these tech purchases somehow.
Fire away at me as the guy ‘ruining it for all the other people hoping to secure one at launch.’ Then turn around and blame Apple for creating this environment in the first place with their restricted supply.

Don’t hate me for being the guy who ruins your Christmas when I get my order in ahead of you and take at least one of your phones.

Damn scalper... Lol, I mean to do the same thing. I don't care about making money, but I always love a "free" phone and if I sell one it will be my own little personal BOGO sale. I'm predicting these will fetch at least 2k. What are they predicting, 12 million units for the first weekend of preorders and then they won't fulfill the first 50 million orders until after the new year, and even then constraints until spring 2018!! This is pretty much the biggest update the iPhone has ever received.

Yeah, I’m not actually looking to make an enterprise out of this, hoping I can get one, maybe longshot at two. I’m fortunate as well in that I don’t need to sell them for income but at the same time, I’m not opposed to subsidizing my other tech daliances.
Makes it a far easier discussion with the wife as well the next time I pick up a new toy. (<cough>Pixel 2 XL<cough>).Not if I can get there firstWhile I previously said I had no plans to pick up an iPhone X, i’ve had a change of heart....kind of.

Which version are you getting? The Verizon one? I've read that's an unlocked version?
