As the thread says, I can confirm this bug, the answer: 24 :( iOS 11 must be the buggiest piece of s I've ever tried. Stuck animations, apps that take ages to load, widgets not working, more stuck animations, text overlapping everywhere. Related: Flat design was supposed to make things leaner... EDIT: Worst of all, every single operation is wrong: 7+8+9 = 96 4+5+6 = 60

I'm with you. Updated my 6+ and everything is tragically slow. 4-5 seconds just to get the Settings or Messages apps to open. Typing anything is unbearable - every time, the first word capitalises and then botches everything from then on. Basic functions within apps or opening the camera take so long as to render them near-useless. I have switched off any animations and performance tweaks that I thought might help, b…

I did some research and avoiding iOS 11 is exactly what I've done as there are too many unpleasant changes for me to want to upgrade yet. Besides, there are several apps I use that haven't put out updates to work with iOS 11.

Maybe product regressions are inevitable at highly successful conpanies, becoming victims of their own success.

Important people leave companies sometimes, which can be a real pain but probably not a disaster.

On the other hand, this company overworks people, and the stock that employees have is probably worth a small fortune. They may have lost lots of good people, and cracks are starting to show.

Heh, yes, you're quite right. "Operator" is what I should have said. Total brain fart. :D

So it looks like this is a case of "operator error."

As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor. My immediate thought was that Apple had liberally sprinkled wait() into the iOS 11 code base so that I'd feel like my ole A9 CPU just wasn't cutting it any more and I'd realize, as they do, it's time to upgrade. Or... maybe they are running every key stroke through the new Azure-enabled Cray com…

This. My 6 Plus is barely usable now, to the point where it is annoying the hell out of me. On iOS 10 i was fine with the 6 Plus and thought i could easily use it another year, but right now it's barely usable. I compared loading a banking app on my 6 and my colleagues 7 (closed it before) and the difference is astounding (2-3 seconds slower). Also everything is just laggy including typing and taking photos.

In the 70s my family bought a microwave oven. It had one knob with a dial, which you would turn clockwise to the number of minutes. The microwave would immediately start (if closed, of course) and count down. The gradations had a logarithmic scale. If you wanted to stop early, you turned the knob counterclockwise to zero. That interface was genius. These days I sob and cry every time I have to figure out how to use a…

They still make dial microwaves, I got one, I think it's a Pana --but unlike the previous one I had (don't recall the make) once set, you can't readjust time. Either terrible design, or maybe a patent preventing the adding of time while the microwaving continues. For example, if It think that instead of 30 secs, I want to readjust it to 40 when it's down to 20 to make a total of 50, I have to wait till it winds all t…

I don't think is a patent ( maybe it was ). I have a relatively new one, german made, that works exactly like that: two knobs, one for setting the power and one for setting the time.

Both are on the fly adjustable, both power and time. I find it really good design.

I'd been considering switching to iOS from Android due to Android's horribly laggy UI. Glad to hear it's just as miserable on the other side of the fence.

Android's horribly laggy UI? Which phone are you using? My Pixel 1 is smooth as silk, no performance degradation at all after one year of use.
