How is battery life with the update? This is my first day, with a brand new phone, with iOS11, and at first glance, the battery seems to be draining fast.
It does seem to drain faster. My wife's phone is so bad we actually called Apple yesterday. Battery diagnostics were fine, so probably software related, perhaps even 3rd party apps don't play nice with iOS 11.
So it drained from 100 to about 40 percent before noon. Now it’s been around 40 ever since then. Weird
So the battery suck was my softphone app Bria.
all softphone apps are battery draining monsters. because they have to keep the phone awake to maintain the SIP connection.
asking a question so don't bite my head off...
Is this something Android can do better because Android doesn't lock devs out as much?
Android can do anything better... except "cool kid factor"... My softphone app stays on all the time, only a tiny bit extra battery drain. But I'm not "cool" enough for iCrap, so YMMV.
"iOS 11 annoyances" - you mean beyond the mere existence of a company like Apple? Because those smarmy, turtleneck wearing douches are really the main annoyance, followed closely by their fangirls.

This is the real root of the apple problem in my eyes.
Was Steve Jobs a dick? Sure sounds like it - but was he right - technology needs to work and be super f'ing simple? Hell yes it does. Has MS learned this lesson? sadly - no.

Yeah, that's true, however Bria isn't too bad in my experience so far. my iphone 6s plus was fine. I was guessing that Bria just didn't make the necessary updates to play nice with iOS 11.
Time will tell.
I still need to buy Bria. It has been on my list of things to work on for months.
I like it. Linphone and Zoiper work great too, but some others in the office didn't have the same experience. On one person's Linphone extension (on an android device) it would generate a ton of errors on the asterisk console. Installing Bria instead made the problem go away.
I have found that soft phone apps are very finicky depending on the device hardware as well as the OS version it's running on.

Yes, tech should be effing simple, but not a closed, exclusionary ecosystem designed to appeal to celebrities and people with 6 figures worth of piss-away income. So I say f@ck Steve Jobs and f@ck the apple fangirl hordes. Douchery all around. Apple people are like vegans... they won't shut up about it. And their platform of choice actually does less, but they aren't knowledgeable enough to understand the difference.

Just being annoyed by apple, same as every day. Digging the nonsensical black guy memes though.

Actually he proved the opposite. Steve Jobs didn't make tech simple. He claimed it was simple and proved that if you keep repeating a lie people believe it no matter how obvious it is. Ever used a Mac? It's not bad, but it certainly isn't magically simple. Jobs proved that marketing means more than making good products.

Nope, never used a Mac.. but the iphone is pretty rock solid...
How much of the Mac suffers from his being away from the company for a while?

None from what I can tell. If anything it is improving. He really wasn't all that influential on design. It's not like he did any of it.

I find the WiFi and Bluetooth not turning off from the control panel (just disconnecting) irritating.
I have nothing that I want connected in the background AFTER I turn the $radio off.Surely (Shore + Ly... no Shirley here...
), there's some kind of logic check that can be applied.- Watch registered = disconnect
- No Watch registered = disable/turn off
Then again Apple is most often fashionably late to the features party. I guess like multitasking, very, early on (leaving the alarm app open for it to go off... no background tasks), we'll have to put up with this for a while.

Just small issues with Exchange 2016 with Activesync so far.

I have nothing that I want connected in the background AFTER I turn the $radio off.I love this feature. If my home internet is slow I can disconnect with the push of a button, then when I get to work it automatically connects to the wifi there. I don't have to try to remember to turn it back on, it just connects.
I guess if you have a more advanced configuration, like VPN or something, this might be a nuisance. How hard would it really be for them to just give us the option of what the button does though?

They should make it a toggle button. Tap once = disconnect. Tap again = Turn off. Tap again = Turn on.

And they can provides those options using 3D touch too.

Well, as we've seen, you can't have simple in an open environment because the players don't follow the rules closely enough. Only through closed ecosystem has Apple been able to ensure consistency. Now that's not to say they don't have their problems - I'm sure they do. As only a very recent user of an iPhone (and a super lite user at that, only like 10 apps on the phone other than default) I can't speak from personal experience on how consistent things are throughout their ecosystem.
Conversely, I can talk quite knowledgeably about the Windows ecosystem and how fragmented it is (and Android is as well). It's not uncommon for things to not work together, even though they use the same spec for something. Is it better today than 10 years ago, sure, still no where near perfect.
Then we toss on top of the pile the almighty greed. Companies don't want to make compatible products most of the time because that means they truly have to compete to get you to buy their product versus the competitions. Locking you in is the easiest way to ensure you keep buying their brand and not someone else's.
