Fully agree with many of you: The battery drain as a result of the previous software update should have been a priority with 11.1 Maybe it was. I'll find out after I download the update. Hopefully I'll be smiling. If not, you know which new emoji I'll be using.
11.1 still hasn't fixed the crackling sound I get when I play solitaire and listen to music at the same time on my iPhone 7. (didn't have the issue with ios10)
And now when I start to play music and then open solitaire, the music stops...
my battery issue was a solved when I did a restore via DFU mode. I didn't need to restore my data, it just updated the OS. The data was maintained somehow.
I've also noted a significant drop in battery capacity on my 6S. Does anyone know if Apple has even acknowledged that there is a battery drain problem with iOS 11?
My 6 seems almost usable again. Camera still takes too long to caome online, but I’m no longer outrunning the keyboard and apps seem to open a bit faster.
Two iOS 11 issues for me that I’m hoping are fixed:
1. When switching between tabs in Safari, text is momentarily blurred (not widely reported). 2. iPad Air 2 will often not start charging if live Lightning cable plugged in (widely reported).
So far the phone seems improved. Was absolute Apple crap before (says this former fan--asleep at the wheel they were with the first release, turned my 6s into a mess). At least now opening the camera to take photos, get this, it opens! Somewhat quickly. Looking forward to and hoping for more responsiveness across the usage. iOS 11 was the first Apple release to totally disappoint me and throw off the usefulness of my phone. And I am not alone. My friend posted about it on FB and got a stunning number of responses with the same issues.
Have the 6s and got no issue at all, and none of my friends on 6s and 7 either, does my anectode beat your anecdote
there are a billion iOS users so getting a “stunning” response, a minor issue affecting a small minority would get that response
there have been way worse releases when it comes to older devices with more general issues for everyone, in particular iOS 4, 7 and 8 4 made the 3G unusable and most 3GS slow as sludge thankfully this got fixed completely for the 3GS but the 3g never recovered
App switching with left side screen force press is back, baby!
This was my biggest issue with 11.0.3. Really pleased it's back and working- Also the camera opens quickly now with sideswipe from lock-screen. Was getting all sorts of glitches with this feature. Had some Bluetooth issues in my car with album artwork which seem to be fixed now since 11.1. I've had no problems with battery drain on my 6S.

Edit: Issue 1 not fixed.
Only issue I have on my 8+ is in the Music App. On the Library tab when I select the "Top 25 Most Played" it crashes the Music and and it quits. Been the same for 11, 1.0.1,...11.1 Anyone else seen that?
My iOS update included the new emojis, but my update of my Mac OS, Messages app, did not. It's kind of incongruous that I can't use the same emojis on my MacBook Pro as my iPhone.
