I used to have iOS 11.2 Beta 1 on my iPhone 6 and it was really bad, the battery life wasn’t bad but it wasn’t GREAT neither. 11.2 app opening and closing animations stuttered/lagged 80% of the time and the OS itself was slow. Just did a clean install of iOS 11.1 (Official) and this is the best that i’ve seen from iOS 11. Buttery smooth animations and no stutters or lag from the OS, quick app opening and AMAZING battery life without Low Power Mode. iOS 11.1 is truly the best version of iOS 11 i’ve experienced. How is everyone else’s experience?
 
My 6 is certainly snappier with 11.1, not quite 10.3.3 level but pretty close. I didn't clean install, I have OTA'd since 10.3
Yes my 6 will never quite be the same but iOS 11.1 has been treating me really well!
 
A fresh install was much snappier for me even on 11.0. But that's not going to happen. Especially not without iCloud messages.
