Yeah the hone button delay has really got to me, i want the new OS but cant stand it why apple hasnt fixed such a simple thing makes me wonder about them, this sould not be like this on the GM and all the people on here sayinh calm down its fine its really not
Rebooting my iPhone once or twice a week is now a thing with iOS 11.
Just had an issue with the camera on my 7 Plus, I opened the camera app to take a picture and it just kept going from light to dark exposure on it's own over and over, no matter what I tried to focus on. Cleaning the lens and force closing the app did not fix it and I had to power the phone off and back on. It is working fine now.
Just installed beta 10 from my dev account on my 5s today (I like to live dangerously I know).
It's actually decent, battery life seems to be the same as iOS 9 (abysmal, but it's a 3 year old phone), and apart from some freezes here and there (minor stuff that doesn't appear to affect day to day use), I'd say I'd use it as a daily driver.
The only major issue is the Notes app: i've got around 250 notes synced from my iPad Pro (lots of sketches), and the iPhone app really struggles: scrolling a list freezes mid way, as does opening a note, there doesn't seem to be a way to make more than one step before a freeze. The only way to proceed is to kill the app and relaunch (and usually the navigation step is then executed).
I've originally updated through OTA, then tried to disable and re-enable notes to re-sync, then reset iOS 11 to factory settings and restore the contents from a backup, but nothing seems to help.
The Notes app has always been kind of terrible with syncs, freezing heavily even on desktop when there was a lot of content to download, but this is simply unusable.
I hope the official release will somehow magically solve the issue, although I have my doubts. Hopefully this won't happen on the iPad pro, otherwise I'm screwed! Maybe it's just the old hardware?
Does anyone have the same experience?

How AppStore is supposed to show updates daily? I open it every morning and the content is old one day. Then I kill the Appstore form app switcher and when I open it again the new content appear. Why they don’t put a pull to refresh also in homepage like the update page? Is yours showing updated content automatically?
Yep. When it happens I just wait one minute. The phone usually comes back or resprings. Factory reset and restore from iCloud lessens the frequency it happens for me.
I’ve seen this on older devices. Sadly I decided to just use a 3rd notes app like OneNote or EverNote. Better in case I use Android or Windows at some point.
It’s called system monitor.
I have a similar experience. Frankly it use to tell me when app updates are available in iOS 10. Now it just doesn’t update until I manually do it or open the app.
Thanks for your input! This morning I tried again with disabling and enabling Notes in the iCloud account options, and after a painfully slow sync it looked at first that things got a little better... only for the next launch to get back to normal.
I'm considering cleaning out some older notes to try and see whether there's some issue with a single note someplace.
Oh, Apple!
I get a couple freezes daily but the phone usually responds within 10-15 seconds. But just now, phone froze. I was on the home screen and all of a sudden the whole display got really fuzzy/pixelated. Only key press that would respond was invoking Siri and app switcher. Tapping on the screen didn’t work and eventually needed to hard reboot.
After five betas I went back to 10.3.3. What a difference! I forgot how smooth iOS can be. And i realized how much I missed the brightness slider without the need to minimize the screen I'm on. On my iPad mini 4, the new changes that iOS 11 is bringing (even multitasking) doesn't worth the upgrade as it is.
Going back to iOS 10.3.3 after using iOS 11 is like returning to a 5 star hotel after a hard day at work.
Damn...you guys are so dramatic. Split second lag in a beta is nothing to get so worked up about.
99% of the people out there wouldn’t and couldn’t tell the difference.

Good question. Maybe they don’t have Access Within Apps toggled and don’t realize it’s an option.
What you said. I was expecting the worst after updating my 7 based on a few forum member’s comments. Runs fine on the 6 devices so I thought maybe the 7 has some unique issues. I had to find out. But no, it runs like I expected it to. Also I had the 7 on iOS 10 until yesterday while running iOS 11 on the 6s and 6s Plus so I had reference devices to compare performance (and yes, I know the 7 should be the faster of the three phones). The lag exists but definitely does not warrant the number of posts complaining about it. Pretty much negligible.

My iPhone 7 Plus gets always hot, even with minimal use, so battery life its not great :/, and freezes sometimes, today after putting up a tweet my keyboard had a glitch that make all the letters blue, it lasted like 1 second tho.
I’ve never had any of those issue in any of the betas. Did you OTA? Maybe try using iTunes. Normally, after updating I would restart the phone and let it settle.
....and reset network settings. That fixed the hot/battery drain issue I was having last week when hard restarts did nothing.
The consensus is an 11.0.1/11.0.2 will follow shortly. So perhaps some of these annoyances will be addressed then.
If the above bolded is true, why not go back to 10.3.3 until 11.3.3? If truly that's ALL you care about and the few milliseconds speed difference is that annoying to you. Its a simple fix rather than stressing over it.
And the same applies to iOS 11.0 when it becomes iOS 11.3.3. Same with pretty much every version of iOS since the beginning. It takes a few updates to get things sorted. Nothing new.
