I have noticed no slowing to iPhone 7 Plus from iOS 11. Maybe reset and installing as new phone may resolve problems?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, it will speed up the phone itself, though iPhone 7 won't be as fast and fluid like it did on it's first OS ever(iOS 10 right?) iOS 11 is a big upgrade for aaaany kind of iPhone. Soon, iOS 12 will make iPhone 8/X slow and so on. It's pretty normal, it's just the hardware getting ancient every Major iOS update.

I suspect you are one of the few.
Our corporate IT group (Global) sent out a recent alert to 6/6s/7 owners that iOS 11 is likely to cause a performance issue. To be patient as Apple addresses the issue. Additionally, a reminder that as of Jan 01, all devices must be running iOS 11 (security). For older devices submit a request for a device upgrade.
That alert, what I have read, what I have experienced, what I have seen from friends and peers, a performance hit is the norm. If you are not having one, congrats.
btw - I did the complete reset working with Apple in an attempt to correct a major issue.
Me either. 11.2 on my 7+ is extremely fast. 11.1.2 Performed so well that I returned a 8+ that I was testing for 2 weeks and 11.2 is smoother. Just upgraded my son's 5SE to 11.2 and it's good on that as well.
Been a couple days now since iOS 11.2 .... latest crazy issue = these nitpicks are driving me pisser.
Each night I plug my 7+ into the bedside charger and unplug it the next morn at 100%.
That said, see the pic for my issue - Note: this is after 2 charges to 100%.
It is like it is not properly registering that it gets to 100%.
Back on the charger - this one at my desk
Btw - Since 11.2, with Auto-Correct turned off, I am still being gifted with auto-corrections in Safari. Wrong auto-corrections

I upgraded to 11.2 on my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro 9.7...no issues whatsoever. Apps do sometimes take longer to update since the iTunes move, but no big deal.
On another note, I have not upgraded my 2011 iMac to High Sierra. Waiting for the new 5K to arrive on 11 Dec.

The usage times were messed up for me when I updated as well. Let it drain to zero. Then connect to charger and once it turns on do a hard reset. That solves the issue.Been a couple days now since iOS 11.2 .... latest crazy issue = these nitpicks are driving me pisser.
