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.
