Apple iOS 10.3.1 Released: Find Out What's New With This Update!

Just a week after releasing the iOS 10.3, Apple has already released its newest iOS update. The newest Apple iOS 10.3.1 appears to be a minor update that includes bug fixes and improved security.

Apple hasn't launched a beta for the Apple iOS 10.3.1, which is why the release of this new update came in as a surprise. While this software update is not as big as the iOS 10.3, this new update could still have a great impact on your device's performance.

The Apple iOS 10.3 update had a few unspecified problems specifically with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c and had to pull the update with the said devices. Fortunately, according to AppleInsider, the Apple iOS 10.3.1 was able to fix the problem.

It's worth mentioning that the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c were the last iPhone models which support a 32-bit processor, the Apple A6 system on a chip. In the release of the Apple iOS 10.3, you might have read that Apple will be dropping its support with 32-bit devices.

Moreover, Apple will start showing a pop-up dialog box when a 32-bit app is opened that says it should be updated to operate with the new iOS versions.The process of phasing out 32-bit support in the iOS 10.3.2 beta was also started by Apple, a report from Forbes stated.

The Apple iOS 10.3.1 also included fixes with Wi-Fi related vulnerability and security patches. So if you value security, it might be worth it to download this new update.

The Apple iOS 10.3.1 is just a tiny update if you are coming from the Apple iOS 10.3. You can expect a 30MB download which is available as a free over-the-air update; you can also download it via iTunes.

However, if you are updating to the Apple iOS 10.3.1 from a version older than the Apple iOS 10.3, expect your download to be larger because of the Apple iOS 10.3. The Apple iOS 10.3.1 update will be available to the iPhone 5, iPad 4th generation, iPod touch 6th generation and all of these devices' later versions.
