Review ios 10

The iOS 10.3.1 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is still available and today we want to walk you through the most important things to know as we push toward the next iOS 10 release and the iOS 11 launch.

Apple’s released two new versions of iOS 10.3. One version, iOS 10.3.2, is an unreleased bug fixer that’s in beta testing ahead of an unknown release date.

The other version, iOS 10.3.1, is a small maintenance release for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 10.3.1 is much smaller than its predecessor (iOS 10.3) but it’s still an important upgrade for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

iOS 10.3.1 comes with an important security patch and bug fixes and there’s a chance it could have a dramatic effect on your device’s overall performance.

Its been a little over a month since its release and iOS 10.3.1 continues its reign as the most up-to-date version of iOS 10.

With that in mind, we want to walk you through the most important things to know, right now, about iOS 10.3.1’s performance, problems, and what’s coming next for iOS 10 users.

iOS 10.3.1 Review

The iOS 10.3.1 update is tiny if you’re coming directly from iOS 10.3. On the iPhone 7, you can expect a 30MB download.

We were able to finish up the the download in a matter of seconds though the installation process took about 5 minutes to complete on our phone.

We recommend putting aside 10 minutes or so to monitor the situation. Our installation went smoothly but there’s no telling what you might encounter.

If you’re coming to iOS 10.3.1 from something older than iOS 10.3 your iOS 10.3.1 update will be much larger thanks to iOS 10.3.

iOS 10.3’s features and fixes will be baked into your update so make sure you put aside 30 minutes or so to monitor the download and the installation.

In the weeks since iOS 10.3.1’s release we’ve downloaded and installed the update on five versions of the iPhone: iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5. If you want some quick feedback, head to those links.

We’ve also installed the software on four versions of the iPad including the iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro.

Right now, iOS 10.3.1 is looking good. And given what’s on board (an important fix for a potential Wi-Fi exploit), it’s definitely worth a look if you own one of these devices.

If you need additional feedback about iOS 10.3.1 and its changes, take a look at our reasons to, and not to, install the iOS 10.3.1 update on your device right now.

iOS 10.3.1 Update: What’s New

The iOS 10.3.1 change log states the update comes with bug fixes and security patches meaning it’s a maintenance update. Don’t expect any new features on board.

Apple lists the iOS 10.3.1 update as having an single security patch. The update also reportedly fixesunnamed iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c issues.

That said, if you’re coming to iOS 10.3.1 from iOS 10.2.1 or something older, you’ll get a bunch of new features with iOS 10.3.1 due to iOS 10.3.

If you’re unfamiliar with iOS 10.3 we recommend taking a look at our walkthrough so that you can get familiar with its features before you install iOS 10.3.1 on your device.
