Apple on Monday released iOS 10.3, which includes the company’s new Find My AirPods feature, among other changes. The full changelog is below.
The biggest feature, of course, is under Apple’s Find My iPhone service, which allows users to track their AirPods to their last known location. Additionally, you can play a sound on one or both AirPods when you’ve misplaced them in your house.
Alternatively, the update to iOS 10.3 migrates the device to Apple's HFS+, HFSX, and iOS file system replacement APFS. The new file system is built for future expansion, and jumps to a 64-bit inode number allowing the OS to track more than 9 quintillion files on a disk, adds support for Sparse files, builds in support for extended file attributes, and implements support for full disk and individual file encryption across all of Apple's platforms using multiple keys for user data.
It is recommended to perform a full encrypted backup prior to updating to iOS 10.3.
With the iOS 10.3 update, Verizon customers also have iCloud-connected device calling added.
As reported with the beta, the 32-bit warning dialog box has changed, alerting users that an upcoming version of iOS will drop support for 32-bit apps entirely. Apple has not made clear what version that is, but iOS 11 expected at the 2017 WWDC is the likeliest candidate for the excision of the compatibility.
Code discovered within iOS 10.3 beta 7 shows tools that will allow developers to run their apps at variable framerates. The change suggests that Apple could introduce new devices with screen refresh rates higher than 60Hz, possibly paving the way for more fluid Apple Pencil response. It is not clear whether that variable framerate code have been retained in the current update or not.
