I've had problems with it but once I reset my settings everything was buttery smooth

for me, FUCK YES. i had horrible battery life on my 7 for like 6 months (from 10.3 to 11.1), got like 3 hours of screen-on-time if i was lucky. since the first beta of 11.2, it has doubled and now i get 6, 6.5 hours. i'm now on the public release of 11.2 and it's still good.

Much better then iOS 10 and 11-11.1

This is the os that should have been the 11.00 one
Fulfills the promise from Apple about 11 fully

My iPhone 6 Plus was working great before iOS 11. It's become a laggy, unresponsive mess since and it's really soured me on Apple.

I'll download and install this new update immediately if others with a 6 report an improvement in battery life and functionality.

Sometimes I wish I could downgrade and keep the security patches but 11.2 seems all right.

My iPhone was shit after updating it to 11, and now died inexplicably two days ago. I would recommend against it.

11 made my iphone 6 noticeably laggy, but I upgraded to the X shortly after. The 7 is only a year old so I imagine it should be able to handle the upgrade fine. 6 and 6S is more questionable.

So I just tried updating my iPhone 6 to 11.2 through iTunes on my MacBook, and my phone is magically working again. Literally did the same thing for hours days ago and got nothing. So take that for what you will.

11.2 is great on my SE (=6s). Definitely worth upgrading.

On my Mini 2 (=5s), it's decent; 10.3.3 was smoother when multitasking and Safari had fewer reloads, but otherwise app performance is comparable. (11.0 was a hot mess.)
