Kumar, 26 Nov 2017I too do love Apple as I was using 6 plus since 2014. Reall... moreYou're missing the whole point in my comment.
Okay, let's start simple. Let's say Apple just released iOS 11 (11.0.0). Both legitimate users/customers and hackers have access to it. Both uses them, while hackers in particular trying to find any flaws within the release in order to exploit them and extract personal information and such. Bear in mind the time-frames. Both parties, including the Apple Inc itself just seeing how the new release (in this case 11.0) performs.
As the time goes when one party identifies a security flaw within the release, Apple Inc eventually become aware of it. If they were legitimate users, they probably directly report them. If they were hackers, eventually when the exploit spreads, Apple becomes aware (some times through hacking contests such as Mobile Pwn2Own).
Now a new release (let's call it iOS 11.0.1) is being prepared patching the aforesaid security flaw. But Apple doesn't stop signing the older 11.0.0 just yet (unless the security flaw is widespread or critical) for the same reason because of people like you. People starts saying about "limitations" and such, how Apple doesn't let their users to "downgrade" their OS. But if they stopped signing 11.0 immediately, it would be a major security measurement and concern in my opinion.
As the time passes again, when 11.0.2, 11.0.3... etc hits the market fixing more issues, when the time comes to fix another major security flaw, then Apple will stop signing the older 11.0 series firmware updates to stop people from downgrading their devices in order to restrict exploiting iPhones by downgrading to older iOS version.
Apple is giving this little time-frame of one series (11.0 - 11.1, 12.0 - 12.1... etc) to avoid from their customers having a bad experience and to get less "limitations" blabbering I believe.
Personally, I'd love if they stopped signing the previous iOS release as soon as a new release is issued, I bet Apple is; as well. But unfortunate reality is that we are living in a world where everything is judged by people with no brains.
So, let's bear it with Apple... :)
In short, "everything becomes vulnerable in future", yes. It's inevitable. The best you can do is release security updates patching the discovered vulnerabilities. And that's what Apple is doing, and they are doing a one damn fine job at it.
(BTW, I'm on 7 Plus with iOS 11.1.2 as of this writing and I have no issues at all, everything works fine, even the battery life is good enough to last for a day, I'm a pretty heavy user)

But when I upgraded my recently purchased 7 plus to ios 11 or later the same gets ruined. I did everything to fix the issues but all in vain.
You have just mentioned older versions of ios vulnerable....tell me why Apple had released them then if in future they would be going to become vulnerable. It means ios 11 or its sub-versions shall definitely become vulnerable in future if Apple releases newer versions post ios 11 or later.
IOS 11 bears major ammendments and features in history of all its IOS’s....you may call it a benchmark or turning point after iOS 10.3.3. For this one reserves right to switch back to ios 10 upto 10.3.3 or former at any time if ios 11 is doing fine with their devices.
In my post I have mentioned that Apple had stopped signing its older IPSW FIRMWARES prior to ios 11 after 5th October 2017.
This means one could have downgraded one’s iPhone to older versions of iOS on or before 5th October 2017.
It then means as per your post hackers or any other unauthorised personnel would have been able to exploit an iPhone just by downgrading to an older iOS (more vulnerable iOS version) till 5th October 2017.
Has Apple officially allowed hackers or unauthorised personnel to do so till 5.10.2017 and then barring them all after it had stopped signing?
Why Apple had opened that window for some period then closed it?
Why such limitations?
ios 11 or later till date has really devastated iPhones. This is proven.
And mind it Apple is not going to take any step in resolving all these woes caused by ios 11. May be they are unaware
Even Tim Cook is not knowing this. I am really amazed and shocked.

Such limitations are a good thing, and I really love Apple for considering such kind of security measurements.

It has been proved that the culprit is ios 11 and later till date.
As per Apple support’s advice I restored my device(7+) to ios 11.1 with fresh and reserved copy of downloaded IPSW FIRMWARE on itunes.
There is no improvement in battery performance, it’s still draining abruptly as earlier with ios 11 versions.
Hey Apple! Now what?

after updating to iOS 11.2 public beta release 3, the stability is somewhat on the iOS disk. Hope to see Apple pushing the 11.2 release stable version soon. wifi n bluetooth are pseudo switched off, only connects to ur apple devices if any nearby..

But by the abuse of language ios 11 has really ruined iPhones.....the worst ever version of iOS by Apple inc. so far.....the biggest failure of Apple in history. Mind it!
