Hi, iOS 11 on Ipad air 2 anyone to share some feedback?
Running surprisingly well, I have not really noticed a difference from iOS 10, in fact its maybe a little smoother, but that could be a placebo effect. Well worth the upgrade, it makes the iPad a totally different beast. I had a few stutters to start but its fine now.
 
Still deciding if the smoother part is bigger then the lagging at times.
Little bit if both maybe. But as I said, I’m not sure yet...:rolleyes:

But I like the upgrade, getting around in it. Very nice :)
 
how is battery life on ios 11 on ipad air 2? i'm still thinking about whether to upgrade or not, one thing that worries me is battery life, i can remember when i upgraded to ios 10 my battery went poor until another ios update,

Its a bit early to tell but I had no massive drain overnight, seems okay but really need a few days to see. Pretty solid update tbh.

one thing ive noticed, let the screen dim before going to sleep, press it to open it again and all the colours are washed out.

it is also not as smooth as 10.3.3. but hopefully this will come later.
 
It runs well enough but the animations are not nearly as smooth as on the iPad Pro.

Have not seen the color glitch. I agree not as smooth as 10.3.3. No change in battery life noticed overnight/today.

Don't see either the color issue or reduced smoothness on mine.
 
I really like how fast it goes to switch between apps now in iOS11, wonderful.
Ah well, not all the time, it's a lot more crashes of apps also I've experienced since upgrade.

But generally it is a smoother and faster system I think after spent some time with it.
First upgrade will probably fix most part of the crashes/un-smoothness :)

Haven't noted any difference with battery here yet....

Yeah, I've had a couple of crashes, too. Not a really big deal, but it's been years and years since I had an app crash, so even a couple are noticeable.

It's very laggy when I pull up app switcher but I was told it happens on iPad Pro also.
