I'm happy with iOS 11, I was tempted to load it as a beta on my 10.5, because everyone mentioned how great it was. I'm a little underwhelmed by it. Don't get me wrong, its not bad, but I kept hearing how my iPad Pro is being held back by 10.3 and I needed iOS 11 to really show its power. As someone said previous, its a nice incremental step forward.

I rolled both of my iPads back due to laggy/jerky performance, but I really liked the new keyboard and all the flexibility and functionality in the iOS 11 dock.
 
A8X, triple core. It beats the A9 in multi-core operations and lags slightly in single-core operations. Overall, not a lot different in real world use (as opposed to running benchmarks).
Do you own an Air 2 or an iPhone 6 (not the S). The A8 is sluggish compared to the A9 even in real-world use. And triple core is kinda useless if developers don't utilize it (which they probably won't since it is the only A chip that is triple core).

Not quite like that. Some tasks can be divided into chunks. Others cannot. Those that can be divided will be and sent to different cores but there are cases where you're stuck waiting for a task to finish on one core.
 
I updated both my iPad 9.7 Pro and my iPad mini 2. The Pro runs well, I like the new update on it. The mini runs a bit slower and somewhat choppy, but it’s still usable.
