Has everyone tried out iOS 11? This is the final nail in the coffin for iPhone for me. I've been using it since last night, and I just don't like the changes they've made at all. The animations look stupid to me, when I unlock the phone, the lockscreen moves up, stops, disappears. Nothing is as smooth as it was on iOS 10, and some of the changes to fonts or font sizing makes the phone feel like it was designed for kids. I'm really not impressed by it at all, a total step backwards. This is on a 6S+.

I really like it, some of the fonts are a bit crap, but they can easily changed. (by Apple in another update)

Seems faster and just generally better.

I will let you know what its like on the 8 tomorrow :p

I like iOS11 but I am on the plus model which obviously has more screen for those huge titles. I think they will tweak this stuff as they go through the releases of iOS11. They are already testing iOS11.1 on the X so I assume we will see that when the X is released.

Yeah this is the one being recommended over on the Macrumors forums. I understand you need a decent mains charger for it though. http://amzn.eu/0V7Pgfb should work great (Fast Charger, Anker USB Charger 18W USB Wall Charger PowerPort+ 1)
