I always do a force restart after installing an iOS update. Not really sure if it has any affect (or god forbid I’m doing harm to my iPhone), I just like to think I’m giving it a fresh start.
Or just chalk it up to my OCD.

From everything I've gathered, hard resets are not a good idea unless you are having an issue. It's essentially like unplugging you desktop from the wall or removing the battery from your laptop while it's powered on. Can result in corruption (though very difficult to do in iOS). Sorry to further contribute to your OCD.
Seems smoother the 11.1.x on my 8 Plus. Especially animations and moving around the home screen.
I do the same thing- and it might just be placebo effect but i feel like my phone runs better that way.
Before I update, I clear all of my apps and reboot my phone (not a hard reset). After the update is finished, I open all of my frequently used apps, then reboot my phone again and the leave my phone alone for a good half hour. All this is done while connected to power.
Are you trying to say that when your phone tells you that you’ve installed an update it doesn’t actually get the update until 10 minutes later? I find hat hard to believe seeing as how I can open and run an updated app immediately after it shows updated. I thought Apple enabled incremental app updates a year or two ago so that when you get app updates you’re only pulling down the deltas (changes). This was to combat high data usage.
What’s probably happening is that for some apps the header or metadata isn’t getting updated properly so his phone still reports the old version. (Sounds like a big to me)
I clear all the apps and RAM. After update, I wait for a minute and turn off the device. Turn it back on like 5 minutes after, let it charge while re-launch all my frequent used apps to 100%. Disconnect as soon as it hit 100% and use as normal.
Seems like what's happening is that the App Store gets updated information saying there's an update to the app, but the actual update doesn't necessarily propagate through the relevant CDNs for some more minutes. So if someone checks for updates in that time period the App Store will notify them that there's an update but if someone tries to install it at that time the App Store will still pull the last update and simply (re)install that. Later if someone checks the App Store again the update will come up as being available again since the version that is installed is still the older version (given that the newer one wasn't pulled and installed last time).
Not entirely what I’m saying. What I’m saying is this. If you happen to check for an update the second that update is pushed to the store. Then it’s going to recognize that your app neeeds to be updated, but the app file itself is not yet available to be updated. It just shows that an update is available. So if you update right away it will be the old file. If you go back in 10 minutes and refresh, the real updated file will be available.
This only happens if you see the update as soon as it’s being pushed.

I have the developer version here and retained FA on both my iPad Pro and 8 Plus. I have now removed the profile which has removed FA.
In the past getting rid of the configuration profile would not prevent you from getting the final beta releases and then final general release. It does get rid of FA. I deleted my profiles after today’s update, which deleted FA, because I don’t want to be unexpectedly presented with 11.3 beta. .2 was bad enough. Today’s release though seems to have resolved many issues and seems buttery smooth on my devices. I do think this is the final release which will probably be generally provided next week.
More often than not with these last moment type of builds that are close to the release there are few changes that are often somewhere under the hood.
I can confirm this. Dismissing the control center sends a kind of strong vibration, strong kick. Sometimes loud, sometimes just strong.
Yes you can. You just need to uncheck the selected option.
I have just got my X and don’t have any noises dismissing control centre.
Also just installed 11.2B6 and then restored from iCloud.
How is this even possible??

Speaking about storage...
I don't know if this is a bug or if get somehow changed the option not on purpose but... I just check my storage capacity after the update to 11.2b6 and realized that my Photos where occupying 1.5GB instead of the usual 44GB.
Went to the Photos settings to check and the Optimized storage option was selected. Since I have now a 256GB iPhone X, I prefer to keep all the original photos and videos in local.
So, is this a bug? Does anybody else have this setting reverted back to Optimized storage after the Beta 6 update?

Giving up on what? Life?

Fix what on a iPhone 7 Plus? Mine is flawless.
