My theory behind these supposed upgrade troubles is logical: since usually the iPhones are bought and begin there use since when Apple releases them (take the 5s released September2013 with iOS7 I think), after 4 years of use, accumulated update processes…, trash is left behind, making phones slow, thus getting the false imprission that its slowness is because of iOS11. I’ve mine since November2017 brand new, and works great. Does ny theory nake sense?
