You don’t need to open and close apps to realise this. The settings menu takes 3 damn seconds to launch on iOS 11. It’s so slow that even after loading if you quickly scroll down, it takes another second before the apps list on it loads and the icons on it as well. The camera app takes 3 seconds as well. That’s how pathetic it’s become.
No ones every claimed Apple is artificially limiting hardware inside a phone to force people to upgrade. It’s always been to not optimise the OS for older devices and the lack of optimisation results in a slower phone.
Apple runs the same graphical effects on its older devices with the same intensity as it does on the newer ones. The blur in iOS 11 is very demanding to render for older phones because the icons are retained in the background and they are blurred on top of that. There was no necessity to enable this effect for a 3 year old phone but they did it anyway which results in stuttering all over the place.
Every Apple device I have owned and upgraded does this. No apps or any videos needed. Just open the settings or open the browser, tap on the address bar and see how long it takes for the keyboard to pop up. Planned obsolescence does exist.
It always helps to mention the device you are having issues with sp the forum doesn't play "where's waldo" with what device you are referring to.
And with that said let's be clear, on your idevices the settings app takes 3 seconds to open. On my ipad 2 it takes about 3 seconds. On my 5s, instant, 6s instant, 7 instant, 6s+ instant.
Graphical effects on don't seem to make much of a difference, but I turn them off because I dislike them. If I could turn off every effect like I do in windows, I would be happy. And there is not stuttering "all over the place as you put it". Still in the same spots however, such as cellular menu.
In short, my iphones above the 5s are fine. I no longer have the 6 as that was met with a bad fate on concrete, replaced by the 7, running great on ios 11. All of my phones are running great on ios 11.
Planned Obsolescence is a reality in a lot of peoples minds. But so is the Loch Ness monster.

Yet apple slap the same ios 11 developed for the 8 and X onto the 7.
And the 6S
And the 6.....
See whats happening?
It's a clever and subtle trick from apple.
Yes, I do see. I see screamingly fast benchmarks where it matters. And I see apple somehow cramming more features in to the operating system but not killing the phones performance.
Is that the "clever and subtle" trick from apple you were referring to?
