iPhone 5s is an Apple smartphone introduced on September 10, 2013. The start of sales began in 10 days - September 20, 2013. Runs on iOS 7 operating system, contains 64-bit Apple A7 processor. iOS 11 was introduced almost 4 years after the presentation of the iPhone 5s - June 5, 2017 at the World wide Developers Conference. On iOS 7, the iPhone 5s felt very good, but on iOS 11 everything is the same?
IOS 11 reviews on iPhone 5s
Installs fairly quickly. Users do not find “brakes” in the system itself, except for one thing - when switching between third-party applications (messenger) to system notifications, significant friezes appeared on the iPhone 5s, although there was no such trouble on the iPhone 7. Maybe it's CPU related or the games aren't optimized properly yet.
And so in general, according to reviews of iOS 11 on 5s, the overall impression is positive. Switching between system applications is very pleasant and fast, the animations are very smooth, but this is on iPhone 7, on 5s they notice small friezes even in menu swipes.
According to other reviews of iOS 11 on 5s, some users have a batterybegan to work a little worse than in iOS 10, this is due to a large number of innovations and unusual animations. The operating time has not been significantly reduced, but it is still less.
Reviews about iOS 11 on 5s also indicate that if you turn off wi-fi through this new control panel, it will not turn off completely, but will go into dormant mode. The phone will not connect even to known networks.
Look at the screenshots for the Wi-Fi icon. The user will have to put the phone into airplane mode or turn off Wi-Fi manually in the settings each time.
This is what Wi-Fi looks like.
This is how "sleeping" Wi-Fi looks, i.e. turned off through the control panel, and not through the settings.
And this is how Wi-Fi is completely turned off, i.e. through the settings.
Another review of iOS 11 on 5s reports that after installing it, the Weather widget stopped working for some users. What is the matter is unclear. Of course, this is not such a big problem, but it can only be solved by rolling back.
Do I need iOS 11?
Reviews on iOS 11, reviews on 5s show that it has both global shortcomings and shortcomings that appear only on the iPhone 5s. Of the minuses of 5s, one can note low performance and a slightly reduced operating time, other errors can appear on any iPhone.
Despite these shortcomings, the iOS 11 5s update will bring more than 27 new features to your iPhone, such asupdated control center with individual settings, the ability to upload the application cache to iCloud, the option to scan documents in notes, updated built-in maps from Apple, a completely redesigned AppStore, a quick screenshot editor. And this is only a small part of all the new features. They are all very useful and work great.

The results are not encouraging. These delays are minimal, but here it takes 38.6 seconds to fully boot the device after shutdown with iOS 11, instead of 26.5 on iOS 10.
And how often do wecompletely turn off the device and for what? Moreover, the iPhone is designed in such a way that it does not require a reboot in case of system errors, but this item will still be a minus of installing iOS 11. In total, we have 1:0 in favor of iOS 10 and previous versions.
Design
Yes, Apple has outdone themselves here. Changed the control center, a new calculator, other unnamed icons in the dock, a new top bar and many other minor design updates. And the system itself began to look more modern. Yes, Apple knows a lot about design. Total, 1:1.
New Features
Apple has added a lot of extra features to this version, even editing a screenshot once you've taken it is a very handy and useful feature. For example, I took a screenshot of a site with text, immediately selected the desired fragment.
This is very convenient, because you do not have to go into the film and edit everything in it.
App Store got a fresh design similar to Apple Music. There are tabs "Today" (displays the game / application of the day, reviews, editor's choice, etc.), "Games" (new releases, category tops, most interesting games, etc.), "Programs" (new releases, thematic collections, category tops, etc.).
And these are just some of the new features. Don't forget about Apple's huge contribution to AR technology, presented in the form of ARkit.
Update or delay?
Total, 2:1 in favor of iOS 11. Should I install iOS 11 on 5s? sacrificing a small shareperformance, we get a huge set of new features that make iPhone easier to use. Apple only needs to remove minor performance flaws, and this iOS will be perfect.
