Totally agree. My iPad on iOS 6 was snappy. Now, it's useless, thanks to those Nazis at Apple.

I will not be upgrading my IPhone 7 to IOS 11, will you?

Honestly thought the portrait mode feature was a gimmick but now that I have it it's pretty awesome at least in my use cases.
Even had someone who primarily uses a dslr ask me what camera set up I used to take my portrait mode pics.
As others have said, Security is the fundamental reason why I will always upgrade.
I personally think it's crazy not to, but each to their own.
Security concerns are WAY overblown. No one gives a damn about what's on your phone. Do you know ANYONE who has had their phone "hacked"?
Thought not.
I have already upgraded my iPad Pro 12.9 to IOS 11 Public Beta 2, so I believe that when the actual release of IOS 11 comes out I will upgrade to it.
Tried the beta out and really didn’t like it. Biggest gripe is them taking away the multitasking 3D Touch gesture. I rarely use the home button as I always use that and it’s honestly a deal breaker. Not too much better for iPhone imo. Love it on the iPad, but not on the iPhone. Plus I’ll be upgrading to the “8” so I’m sure they’ll have some new multitasking feature exclusive to that model
I was just thinking about something like this earlier and wasn't sure where to post this since it relates to iOS and hardware things, but I was wondering why new versions of iOS slow down devices so much.
I still kind of suspect Apple purposely does it to move sales. I mean I understand things before the 5S came out with the A7 super CPU getting slow, but at that point it was benchmarking just about 2/3 the score of my 2010 i3 iMac. Now the iMac, running full OS X 10.12, is still fast and used frequently and my iPad Air lags. It doesn't make much sense.
Maybe the A7 + A8 and 1GB RAM for the iPhone 5S/6/iPad Air were just the last of the "weak" products and from now on iOS will stay snappy? Kind of like how the Intel Core i# chips finally meant the average person could keep a computer for forever pretty much. Somehow I doubt it though. I'm super interested to see how the original iPad Pro is holding up on its second major software update if anyone can share.
Anyway, I'll definitely stay on iOS 10 on my iP7+, unless some feature is worth the loss of performance that may or may not happen.

I don't feel like using a buggy OS for 9 months while they slowly fix all the things they broke.
It took months and months of complaining about the glitchy animations in ios 10 and dealing with other stupid bugs before they finally fixed everything in 10.3 and I do not wanna go through that again.
