iOS 11 a foreshadow of an underwhelming 10 year iPhone release?

Wow, this thread is hilarious. So many pages are spent about the outrage that 2 out of about 25-30 "major" new features (that work pretty well for the most part) are delayed. We're talking about peer-to-peer financial transactions that will be synced in the cloud. Apple is essentially becoming a bank with the Apple Cash Card, if they decided for whatever reason that these features need to to spend a bit more time in the oven, then so be it. The lack of these features also doesn't do any harm to existing devices, it also doesn't decrease the existing user experience in any way. I don't mind waiting for something if it means it'll be done right, especially when it comes down to the transfer of money.
Ultimately, all you can do is speak with your wallet. If having to experience a delay with some features that didn't even exist before is such a dealbreaker, then never give another $ to Apple and take your business elsewhere. Better yet, sell your iDevices and buy something else. If not, then sight tight, live your life and soon enough, these "missing" features will show up in a future update.

As far as I know, never. That’s my point. They never said it would be there on day 1. They only said it’s coming in iOS 11. As far as I’m concerned, 11.0, 11.1 and 11.4.7 would all be iOS 11. If 12 comes and it’s still not out, you’d have a valid point. Until then, they’re living up to what I heard. Plus, this isn’t news. It’s been known for months that it would be released later on.
For the record, you want to pick on Apple, have at it. There are things I don’t care for as well. I have no stake in this game. I don’t feel I need to defend them. My only gripe is you holding them to some promise or whatever that I don’t recall them making. There’s plenty they do wrong without blaming them for something they didn’t do wrong (my opinion of course). Those screenshots did nothing to show me that it was expected from the beginning. It might be that we’ll never see eye to eye on this one and that’s fine. They’ll release it when they feel it’s ready. Fortunely I’m fine with that. I have no burning need for either of those functions. Though I am looking forward to transferring money that way. But I can wait till it’s ready.
They deleted the WWDC17 keynote, as I stated. Your pics were of the Fall special Event
Seriously? What's that in the second screenshot labeled as "Apple Special, Event June 5, 2017"? Come on now, even clear facts are now being obviously attempted to be altered?

The urge for imagined conspiracies is so high that completely silly attempts are made to somehow twist plain obvious reality.
The much slower adoption of iOS 11 compared to iOS 10 (despite apple aggressively promotes the upgrade with popups and almost automatic upgrade) confirms that people are not at all exited about this very underwhelming release. Hopefully Apple will learn the lesson and put more effort in iOS 12. And since they're at it, they should also remove those horrible huge bold black titles from the interface.
Yes, much slower. Check the recent article about it.
It confirms that people are uninterested about iOS 11 since they don't even bother upgrading, despite Apple aggressively promotes the update.
It seems somewhat slower, I'm not really sure that it would come off as being "much". As for the reasoning, given that there are all kinds of different reasons that can apply to it all, seems like the numbers don't really show in any way which reason might apply, and certainly don't confirm anything about the reasoning.
The Slower phones (from the update) are iPhone 6S and up... My Old and used up iPhone 6 got a lot faster. Especially faster on Thumb print identification stuff... and pretty much everything I have used (which I admit, I'm not a power user) works great and seems MUCH faster. I don't do much video on my phone, so that may be where everyone complaining is having issues...
I think we all agree Apple should change the volume box that appears on the middle of the screen!
I’m impressed with 11 and really like all the changes made. It would be cool to bring back some older visual elements from the iOS 6 days!
