The link to the What's New in iOS 11 page is wrong, it's here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/Gen...
APFS is mentioned at the very end.

APFS is mentioned at the very end.
> APFS now supports an on-disk format change to allow for normalization-insensitive Case Sensitive volumes. This means that file names in either Unicode NFC or NFD will point to the same files.
Which means that both versions support normalisation-insensitivity.
(Edit: There is also a one-line mention of this in the iOS 11 document [1] but it doesn't say if it is the default.)
