This week, Apple began testing iOS 10. 3 among developers. This cumulative update, of course, is not as interesting as the upcoming large-scale update of iOS 11, but still worthy of attention. We collected five things that you need to know about the new version of the OS.

IOS 10. 3 beta.

If you want to test iOS 10. 3 before the official release, you have this opportunity.

Apple allows you to install beta versions of updates to developers and ordinary users as part of the testing program. But, before, you decide to install a preliminary version of iOS, it is worth remembering that you may encounter different kinds of errors.

You can downgrade to iOS 10. 1/10.

In case of problems with iOS 10. 3, you can roll back to the previous final version of iOS. At the moment Apple signs iOS 10. 2 and iOS 10. That is, for a limited time you can install any of these versions.

Users who are waiting for jailbreak should return to iOS 10. Soon Apple will stop issuing digital certificates, and it will be possible to install only iOS 10.

What's new in iOS 10.

The lack of new features is one of the reasons why you should not hurry to switch to iOS 10. OS does not bring any innovations at the level of the user interface, except for three new background images on the 12-inch iPad Pro. And even for the sake of wallpaper, do not update, they can be downloaded separately.

Update iOS 10. 3 is aimed primarily at eliminating errors and increasing the stability of work. But not only.

IOS 10. 3 will increase the speed of the devices.

Users of the iPad Pro can wait for new wallpapers, and the rest will have to do with traditional bug fixes. The question is: how much will the transition to iOS 10. 3 on the performance of devices?.

Recently, iAppleBytes YouTube channel has a video comparison of the final version of iOS 10. 2 with the first beta version of iOS 10. The participants of the experiment were iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Judging by the test results, the new release will bring certain improvements in terms of performance and application speed.

Release date for iOS 10.

Apple did not announce the release date of the final version of iOS 10. 3, so how long the update will be in the status of "beta" is unknown. Usually the company reports such details from the stage during the presentations, so it's possible that the release date will be known on June 5.

But until this point, we will wait for several test versions of the update. Apple released six beta versions of iOS 10. 2, before the public version of the firmware became available.
