hi, i want to discuss about the performance of the first generation iPad Pro on iOS 11. the biggest and most disturbing problem is in the apps switcher. apps switcher on iOS 11 is very bad, because it feels very lag and stutter. the animation did not go well. Similarly, when closing the application with the use of a long time, the animation was very lag. whether it comes from hardware problems or from software problems. and whether there is another problem you are experiencing. let's discuss it. because until now , not much improvement is obtained by iPad Pro 1st gen
 
Yes iOS 11 is horrible on all but the very latest devices. My iPad Pro 12.9 is on iOS 10 amd it will stay that way. Sorry to say but you were just the latest victim of planned obsolescence

Same on the 10.5. Limiting frame rate to 60fps seems to make it better but then all the other animations which could run at 120fps become less smooth and pencil latency increases.

but this is only a device a year ago. it's not supposed to be like this. the confusing thing is apple does not fix the most basic thing, this appswitcher is used by apple as one of the best feature on ipad

"Surprisingly" plenty of people are having good or at least neutral experiences with iOS 11 even on non-very latest devices.
 
On this year device, theres no any problem, but for last year problem, we have a lot of problem here..
 
poor performance on my 9.7" pro. hasn't improved for me at all through any of the point releases or betas. lags, stutters, crashes, missed touch inputs galore. never updating my iPhone 7 past ios10.

The exact app switcher problem is there on the latest generation 2017 Pro too. They just can't write software that runs decently despite the powerful hardware.
 
9.7” iPad Pro, no problems here.

Maybe some animation lag? I say that as a question because unless the screen is stuck on something I really don’t care about little quirks so I’m essentially blind to them.

Neutral is a fail for a 1000 dollar device. Plenty of people are having a bad/very bad experience on ios 11.

Neutral is miles away from "horrible" that you brought up. That is the context of this discussion. And while there might be some, and perhaps even plenty, who are having negative experiences with iOS 11, there are certainly plenty who aren't. As far as iOS 11 being "horrible" on all but the latest devices, all of that certainly doesn't support that type of hyperbole.

I've never used an iPad with iOS 11 that has run without stutters in springboard animations, and I've used a lot of iPads with iOS 11. My iPad Pro 10.5 is horrible to use now, wish I hadn't accidentally updated it.

I still wait for someone to show me an iPad running iOS 11 without any stutter.

I do agree with you though, plenty of people don't care/notice/perceive stutter, so iOS 11 is probably perfectly fine for them and not a negative experience. Stutter really really really annoys me, and since I've seen no evidence to suggest otherwise, I put it down to iOS 11 being poorly developed. Apple harps on about desktop class performance in iPads, yet my iPad Pro can't consistently render home-screen animations.

What does stutter even mean in this context? I must be one of those who doesn’t notice it. I love iOS 11 on my Air 2 and on my 2nd generation 12.9.
 
If the update does not perform well, is there a way to uninstall and reverse back to iOS 10?

My iPad currently runs iOS 10.3.5. If I back it up in the cloud now, can I later do a restore to have the iOS 10.3.5 version back if iOS 11 does not turn out to be satisfactory?

Nope, there’s no going back once you have updated. iOS 11 on my 10.5 is great though. People way, I mean way over blow the animations thing on the 10.5.

No, backups just backup data and that's it basically. As mentioned, there is no way to go another iOS version that isn't the latest essentially which is usually what is being signed by Apple.
