There have been 18 versions of iOS 11? Not sure betas count as versions. And we don't really know if Apple is refusing (simply because it hasn't been changed so far), nor that it has been done on purpose to make iPhone X look better somehow (given that the vast majority of typical users that represent the vast majority of consumers don't even notice something like that, let alone would give it much care, especially to the degree of making that influence their decision to buy the X). In any case, this is really more for Apple has PURPOSELY introduced lag/delay with Home Button interactions

Would you agree or disagree with this statement - iPhones have become so advanced that per their Geekbench scores, they are now rivaling baseline Macs?

Do consumers buy a new Mac every year for the new model? Most don’t, as they tend to last awhile.

But here’s the 1,000 dollar question (see what I did there?) why would Apple purposely slow iPhone’s down after 2 years but not Macs? The answer is...look at their quarter earnings reports and see where they get the majority of their profits from - iPhones.

They can’t have people keeping their iPhones for too many years. I don’t understand people on this forum...Apple doesn’t have to maliciously write in their code to slow down iPhones all they have to do is purposefully not optimized the code, you’ll get the same outcome.

Found a new stutter issue on Plus phones. Hold your iPhone in Landscape and open the app switcher when it has multiple apps in the background and swipe up control centre. Heavy stuttering

No visible changes or new features? I think theyre going in the right direction. New features and new ui in major versions and the x.1, x.2 etc updates are just for refining the major versions. Good!

Not really. iOS 11 was already a "no new features" release (which is just plain wrong). Dot releases should have minor features introduced and dot dot releases should be bug fixes only.
 
iOS 11.2 beta 1 has no home button delay. Faster than iOS 10.3.3! (Full disclosure: I never had the home button delay in the first place!)

Absolutely no stutter whatsoever on an iPhone 7 Plus. Are you sure the screen is facing towards you?

Now I’m no engineer, but I can say with confidence that Geekbench scores don’t tell half the truth. Intel chips, and A-series chips are totally different architecture. Not to mention Macs have more ram and battery life which helps them perform more intense tasks for longer periods of time.

Laptops in generally are expected to last longer than phone and people are more willing to upgrade phones annually too, so there are also different expectations from the public at large on the two devices.

Sure iPhone is apples “bread and butter” but I think most people upgrade anyways. I’ve never felt a tad of lag in my 7 Plus, but still pre ordered the X. Assuming that a next major version of a operating system with tons of new features, even if they are dev features, won’t impact older devices who, at the time, weren’t built with those features in mind, aren’t going to slow down without tweaking over time then you’re mistaken.

There’s a reason OS employees get paid hundreds of thousands a year, because building a OS is hard and the longer it exists the more stuff is added and the more difficult it gets to manage.

Not to mention that desktop architecture and everything involved has gone through its rapid pace of evolution some time ago, while mobile is still in that state at the moment, despite what things might seem like.

I upload my website's code files to iCloud Drive, as a backup. In 10.3.3, I could open these CSS/JS files in plain text via Files; with iOS 11, I haven't been able to. It just opens to a grey screen with a title. Can anyone test to see if the functionality is enabled again? I reported this back with 11.1.

1. Should my 2 year old iPhone 6S, be able to swipe between my home screens, to widget center, control center, notification center, etc, without lag? Or is it my out-of-date iPhone?

2. iPhone X cost the same as baseline Macs... So by you saying that there is a perception that laptops are supposed to last longer and phones are supposed to be upgraded more doesn’t make sense.
