[RumoredMac]

Friends anyone tried 11.1 on iPad 2 ?
How's the performance compared to 10.3.3 ?

I wouldn’t dare. The results should be predictable.

Im installing 11.2 on my mini now, 11.1 made it usable, anything before that was unbearable.

My mini 2 has always been fine on IOS 11.

You need to upgrade for security reasons. If it performs badly, buy a new iPad. You should not risk running old software you could lose everything including all your money if hackers get into your accounts.

How much of an actual risk is something like that?

You can't put a precise number on it, but personally I think any risk is unacceptable. If you are happy to run those risks though, I wish you luck.

How's it running now?

How's it running now?

I would say it’s back to 85% as fast as 10.3.3

So almost 15% slower than 10.3.3 ?

My 128gb mini 2 shows its age running ios 11.2 tbh it runs OK but there are definitely noticeable delays loading apps that arent cache/memory..the keyboard popping up shows noticeable delay as well..browsing websites scrolling there is a delay in content popping up this is in comparison to my iPad pro 9.7. I've turned down motion also as frame shutters are quite prevalent...it's usable but the device is showing its age.

The iPad mini 2 here from work still has iOS 9.3.5 on it and I'm thinking of getting it to the current release.

Anyone else compared 10.3.3 performance to 11.2. ?

yeah I would say about 15% but thats just my estimation not based on any numbers or anything

Ok. I thought 11.2 was little faster than 10.3.3.

Would you recommend upgrading to 11.2 or stay on 10.3.3?

iOS11 made my Mini almost unusable, unfortunately. Significant OS lag. I regret upgrading.

Has iOS 11.3 improved things?
