How is iOS 11 on iPhone SE in terms of smoothness?

Hello,
has anyone taken the risk to update their iPhone SE to iOS 11.2 yet? I'am allergic to all kinds of lag/stutters. I'am now on iOS 10.3.3 and it is the most lagfree version of iOS since I got the SE. iOS 9 was a completely mess, but with every version of iOS 10 they removed the lag step by step. Does iOS 11 make it better or is it the same diashow as iOS 9? Especially since iOS 11.2, rumors say that it is a lot more polished. And I know that there are already threads on this topic, but since it is heavily device dependent and since there is no iPhone SE iOS 11.2 topic..


No answers from people who think android is smooth and/or think that iOS 9 was great on the iPhone SE, thanks.

Its better than 11.0.1 , 11.0.2 ,11.0.3, 11.1 but not as good as 10.3.3

Just in case anyone didn't know, this is true for every version of iOS. As you update to newer versions of iOS, that were created after your phone's release, it will start to get slower and laggier. It will eventually start to stutter, and stability may be impacted. This is over a few OS updates.

On the other hand there are people who notice fraction of second delays and discuss them quite a bit who also have mentioned their devices improving when going from iOS 9 to iOS 10, for example.

And yet it appears to be based on dissiccsions about that kind of thing. Absolutes and extremes are often enough not absolutes or extremes.

I don't get when people use this logic. Who cares about extremes, what is relevant are the most likely scenarios. What happens more often when you update the software of a legacy device? It slows down, or it speeds up? I'd say 90% slow down, 10% speed up, and that's being generous.

What helps the person out is telling the person what happens most of the time, which gives them more information about the situation at hand, and the likelihood of things. If they have a "unique" situation, then they will explain why their situation is different, or reply back accordingly.

That would be more of a troubleshooting situation, in which case I would agree that it's not helpful to provide "general" information.
 
Bought an iPhone SE a few weeks ago which had iOS 11.1 pre-installed and set up as new. No significant problems with regards to smoothness and speed, all seems ok with me. It's probably due to the battery being brand new ;)

Hell no, you are terribly wrong. I got my iPhone SE with iOS 9 and it was t-e-r-r-i-b-ly laggy. Only with iOS 10 they got rid of the laggy animations etc. with every update. I checked after every new update von iOS 10 "did they get rid of that stutter or that animations-lag", and they eliminated stutter after stutter with every new iOS 10-update.

I updated my iPad Air 2 to iOS 11 (clean install) and its complete *********. Very laggy, iOS 10 was far better and iOS 8 was the best. Definitely not updating my iPhone SE until they fix the suttering on my iPad Air 2.
 
My iPhone 7 became laggy and battery drain became a problem on iOS 11. What chance does the SE have to run iOS 11?
