Well one of my devices has been updated, my ipad mini 4. So far, its ok. A bit dissapointed that it now stutters here and there. The bold fonts and big lettering a little annoying. Not the worst update, but not the best. I think i prefer ios 10.
Got a tip for us?

yeah i wouldn't say "indexing" is nonsense at all. for example, when apple released a new feature called "siri suggestion" back in iOS 9, how do you think iOS knows who is your frequent contacts, your next meeting location, etc.? it does not do what Google does--analyze on their server--because Apple cares so much about your privacy that they process most of these on the device (e.g. analyzing your photos to create "memories", analyze your meeting locations to tell you "time to leave", etc), so they have to index (scrape your data and build database off them) in order to enable these features.
i am sure in iOS 11 there will be similar things going on, but i cannot comment further on it.
p.s. let me reiterate again, apple doesn't upload these data it scrapes from your phone to its server. apple keeps all these logic on the device and encrypted, so not only it's safest, if it does get compromised (you lost your phone), it won't affect all the customers on its server. google on the other hand, chose to upload all your data to its server then process them. this allows them to do the same job with much greater control, power, speed, and efficiency--they can for example leverage its powerful google image AI and its massive database--where apple's code has to be so efficient and small to be installed onto your phone and run locally. this is one of the reasons that some features are not going to perform as well on apple than android--it's a price apple has to pay for the sake of security and privacy. it also classifies your data in different classes, so its logic doesn't actually have access to certain data when the phone is locked. for example, it might not be able to analyze your email content and index it for its siri suggestion feature, because your mail data is encrypted. this is why some activities can't be done overnight and have to be done in the background when you are actually using the phone. (examples above are for illustrative purpose and do not represent actual implementations.)

The thing is, It's been over a day so far and still has the same amount of stutters when doing simple things such as opening e-mail and safari (My most used apps). I don't have a lot of apps on my phone, nor do I use the cloud, so at this point it is definitely not an indexing issue. I've never noticed such a night and day difference in stutters from updating previous versions of iOS.
In my experience, once the initial indexing was complete, overall UI smoothness with iOS11 is the same as with iOS10 with one notable exception - the animation when 3D Touching an app is extremely jerky across the board on my iPhone 7.
hmm both work pretty smoothly for me (besides some obvious bugs unrelated to perf). i am sorry to hear that this build hasn't worked out well for you. maybe u can do a clean install?
I was just about to create my own thread regarding this on my iPhone 7+. Like you, horrible stutters when opening mail and safari. This is even present on my iPad Pro 10.5
iPad Pro 9.7" running the GM for over a week. If anything issues have gotten worse. Stuttering is prevalent everywhere. I have to reboot nearly daily to clear up some function that simply stop working. Multitasking. Ability to drag text selection handles. Touch screen becomes unresponsive for 20s every few minutes. That was in the past day alone.
I guess I could try a settings reset. And deal with all the setup over again. I've done that in the past on various devices to try to deal with Apple Pay ceasing to function, iMessages not authenticating, airplay stopping working, Bluetooth stopping working, handoff stopping working, App Store updates failing for weeks, battery dying at 50%, etc.
I'm just reaching a point of questioning the actual value proposition of "the Apple ecosystem" or "apple's superior implementation" when It feels like I'm in a constant state of encountering broken features and spending time troubleshooting. This has just gotten worse and worse with devices over the past 4 years. I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble trying to do basic tasks on any of these devices when so many claim they have no issues.
I just don't understand.

I've come to expect every new iOS release to have random lag, as if the OS is doing something in the background, until a couple of point releases. All we can do is wait now. I don't like it, but you can either wait it out or go back to the last 10.3 release. I blame this ridiculous new-release-per-year schedule.
