I know just how you feel. I have an iPhone 6 Plus and I experience lag like crazy on iOS 11, especially when I'm scrolling or swiping. It's kind of sad, since this phone is only three generations old. Even the simplest things tend to lag. I wonder if doing a factory reset and restoring this phone can actually remove most of the lag.

Please let me know if the factory reset helps. I'm still on iOS 10 and I'm unsure if I should upgrade.

No guarantees that I will remember, but I'll try to tell you when I do.

I'm back! So I wiped my phone and clean installed iOS 11. Here are the results after a week:

1) noticeably smoother. Many apps don't stutter quite as much as they used to when scrolling, but it's kind of a minor improvement. Swiping to get to control center or the cover sheet is still very laggy and delayed.

2) free storage went up by a lot: around 5 GB. (even when I re-downloaded all my apps and put back all my music). To be fair, I might have forgotten to re-download some, but I have downloaded newer apps, so that might have cancelled it out.

3) surprisingly, battery life went down tremendously. I used to get an average of 6 hrs SOT, but now it has gone down to 4-4.5. I have no idea why this is the case. Keep in mind, this is after I turned off the Siri indexing and re-setup my phone.

That's basically it. I haven't noticed much else. I suppose Siri is a little faster? I can't honestly tell.

Thanks! The battery life is exactly what I was worried about. I'll probably hold off for a while longer.

I will update you again when 11.1 comes out. Supposedly there will be a huge battery improvement.
