So for the last almost 2 weeks I have had no issues with iOS 11 running on my iPad Pro. Tip today that was. It all started with a graphic glitch, I couldn't go into a folder without it trying to delete apps. So I went to restart my iPad. Stuck on apple logo for over 20 minutes. So did a restore to iOS 10.3.2 then OTA to iOS 11. Restored from Backup then. Everything was going great until...
Another graphic glitch, same issue. Restarted, same thing again. So now I'm staying with iOS 10.3.2 until the next beta. It seems there is a bug that makes the iPad get stuck in a boot loop. And my battery was full both times.
The 2nd time I had to DFU because restore mode would not work. So I'm not to happy with Apple currently.
 
Had zero issues with IOS 11 on first-gen 12.9 aside from the fact that it wasn’t nearly as smooth as 10.3.2 and lagged a decent amount.

Upgraded to 2nd-gen 12.9 and it’s buttery smooth. IOS11 for iPad was clearly designed for the 10.5 and 2nd-gen 12.9.

Try again with the Public Preview 1 (aka beta 2) I bet you all these major bugs and device breaking issues wont exist. As for Beta 1, well idk what you really expected for Christ sake o_Oits BETA 1, they dont do a public beta with it for a reason :D:p:rolleyes:

Performance on my 1st gen 12.9" is really bad. Do you guys think this is a beta thing, or will it stay this way? Right now I'm torn what to do- I have a 1st gen 12.9 and the 10.5 here with one week left for the return window. I'm absolutely incapable of deciding which size to go for

Wait out few more betas and install the beta that is available in August. It should be features complete and more stable.
I had similar issue with iPad Air 1 where it used to reboot randomly and it was not fixed from 8.0 beta 1 until iOS 8.1

Maybe you have a hardware problem. I am running all beta 1s on all my daily drivers. A few glitches here and there but otherwise great.
 
Obviously will withhold judgement till it's official release, but I will find it very problematic if iOS renders a year and a half old $1000 "pro" device substantially less performant doing the same tasks it did prior to the update.

Again I'd also accept it more if they didn't push updates so aggressively with no way to revert.

They aggressively pushed this first beta on you did they?
You must be joking.
It's so strange that newer generation beta software isn't performing the same on your last generation device. So so strange.

It's Apple once again crippling older hardware to entice you to buy a new shiny piece of hardware

Clearly didn't read the "obviously I will withhold judgement..." part. :rolleyes:
 
It's a developer beta. Apple makes it VERY clear that you will experience bugs. They also make you agree that you're installing it on a testing device, not your normal device.

Bugs in a beta (especially a very early beta or initial release beta) are to be expected, no matter what company is releasing the software. It's ignorant to expect otherwise after being warned repeatedly. Report it and move on.
