iOS 11 - who's upgrading?
Discussion
Middle of a large housing estate and no coverage here. I also ravel a lot for work and unfortunately get to test Bacons promise and it is, overall, rather hit and miss. In many places where I would have thought a good signal is a dead cert, I end up on the useless low rate hotel speed.

True. Uk networks are the worst in Europe. Why? Because we accept poor standards. Huge areas of Surrey had no coverage st all. Its unacceptable.
I'm still amazed that my train service into London, through Surrey, has no data coverage until about Clapham Junction. I live largely on wifi in Surrey/Sussex.Burwood said:

11.03 has made some minor speed improvements, but not good enough to compare with IOS 10.
Bluetooth, for heavens sake, don’t let me think I’ve turned it off in the controls panel, if it’s still able to search and reactivate when it finds a Bluetooth connection. Off should be off. It’s now disabled on mine in the general settings..
It’s an improvement, but could do better.

One of Apple's annoying traits, I have to turn the MacBook bluetooth off regularly as it hijacks connections already in place on other mobile devices like speakers. It also gets my goat when each main IOS release turns things back on that you had turned off eg photo sharing, cloud back up etc. You have to hunt through settings every time to work out what its changed. Also hate the way it can create a hotspot connection even when that is turned off on your phone (did that pre-11, I'm assuming it still will).Bluetooth, for heavens sake, don’t let me think I’ve turned it off in the controls panel, if it’s still able to search and reactivate when it finds a Bluetooth connection.

Has 3 minor updates to a major in a couple of weeks set a new record ? Don't recall there being that many that quickly before (and looks like these 3 still haven't resolved everyone's issues).

My 5SE is working fine on 11.02, will update again to 11.03 over the weekend. I have not noticed any difference in battery life, still lasts me all day and has 45% when I put it on charge at bedtime. Phone is only 6 months old.
The phone does appear quicker than before, opens and closes apps ok, haven't had any issues with Bluetooth.
The only negative is some apps I use to scan networks, like Fing and NetAnalyser, will no longer display MAC numbers and will therefore not get device info. This is a new 'security' feature bought in by Apple for iOS11. Bit of a pita as I use these apps for my work.
